📋 About This Mod

A bedroll replacer. Impractical perhaps, but cute :)

🞛  COMPATIBILITY  🞛 

BOS versions should be compatible with everything. The mesh replacer is incompatible with other mods that replace the vanilla bedroll mesh.

Compatible with Immersive Citizens - AI Overhaul SE as of v1. 0. 3 (bedrolls spawned by NPCs are now affected)

🞛  PATCHES  🞛

Use Those Blankets and BOS + Use Those Blankets patches available. Dunno what other patches would be necessary, just ask if you need one.

Added a patch for CC Camping - Comfy Sleeping that replaces the bedroll and removes the hay, as requested :)

Addons are available for Campfire, Basic Camp Gear, Simple Bedroll, and Simple Single _ Double Bedrolls for all. They allow you to craft Bedroll Alternative bedrolls in the color of your choice, and use them in the same way as the bedrolls included in these mods. The addons are standalone, and will work with or without any other files on the files page. If you have Formlist Manipulator and the Bedroll Alternative - BOS Use Those Blankets patch installed you'll get blankets when you sleep in the added bedrolls.

To replace the bedrolls placed by Campfire tents (not the placeable individual Campfire bedrolls) you'll need the vanilla mesh replacer main file. Or an esp that modifies the original Campfire tents so they place custom bedrolls instead of the vanilla base object, which I guess I could make if people request it but meh.
