📋 About This Mod
Are you still chopping your firewood ? ... or do you collect it already?
This small Skyrim Plugin gives you the ability to collect firewood instead of chopping it.
Use your power if you see any wood lying around. As soon as you have collected some wood, the spot will be unavailable until you have collected wood from four other spots. And the spot will also be hid for 30 seconds.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—may be incompatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2013, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition—you may need to port it or find a compatible version.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it manually to ensure it overwrites correctly, and place it low in your load order to avoid conflicts.
- Test the mechanic in a new save first to see if it works as expected before committing to a long playthrough.
