    Requirements
    • []Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)

    Optional / Recommended

    • []Bandoliers 4K - Bags and Pouches - Cleaned and Upscaled Textures

      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.

         - Reduced values of each piece to not bloat economies: Now 5-15 gps instead of 200-500 gps

        - 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,
