Mod utilizes small scripts that runs once (at game initialization) to distribute and equip bandoliers, bags, and/or pouches to NPCs. Initial configuration is designed to distribute bandoliers, bags, and pouches to Khajiit Caravan members. Mod can be re-configured to distribute bandoliers, bags, and/or pouches to any NPC and / or any group of NPCs that you wish! Edit the _DISTR.ini that comes with this mod, and add (or delete) any Form ID that you wish.
I have organized the _DISTRI.ini into colour categories: Dark, Dark Brotherhood, Imperial, Leather, Pale / Gray. This should help players provide complete sets to NPCs if you wish. You can also mix and match any set that you want. I have completely de-constructed the original mod into 97 separate items. Each item has a corresponding spell in the _DISTR.ini.
This mod makes a few changes to the original Bandolier - Bags and Pouches Classic:
-
[]I removed the perk condition to craft Dark Brotherhood items
[
]I changed body slots 52 -> 44 and 53 -> 45 (original mod could cause NPCs to be nude when using body slots 52 and 53). These changes make the bandoliers compatible with Schlongs of Skyrim (SOS)[]I updated some meshes to correct for lighting irregularities from the original mod
Two versions
- []Reduced values, reduced carry capacities, and increased weights.
- I altered the carry capacities: Now 5, 15, 30, 40 instead of 25, 50, 75, 100.
- I increased the actual weight of each piece to 1,
-
[]I removed the perk condition to craft Dark Brotherhood items

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 461 endorsements and over 119k downloads.
- Standalone and ESL-flagged, so it's lightweight and won't bloat your load order.
- Gives NPCs a more rugged, adventurer look without changing gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you have the original Bandolier mod's assets? Actually, it's standalone, so that's not a con. Real con: It's purely cosmetic, so if you want gameplay changes, this isn't for you.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter NPC outfits or use SPID for similar purposes.
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be actively maintained for the latest Skyrim versions.
For Skyrim players who want their NPCs to look more prepared and battle-worn with visible gear. If you're into immersion and visual variety without gameplay changes, this is a great pick. Skip if you prefer vanilla NPC appearances or want mods that affect stats.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, it won't take up a plugin slot, but make sure your mod manager supports ESL files.
- If you want to customize which NPCs get the gear, check the mod's config files or MCM if available.
