Requirements

Overview
My mod utilizes a small script that runs once (at game initialization) to distribute and equip the druid backpack to NPCs. Mod is currently configured to distribute and equip the druid backpack to:
M'aiq The Liar
Mod can be re-configured to distribute the druid backpack to any NPC and / or any group of NPCs that you wish (e.g., ActorTypeNPC)! Edit the _DISTR.ini that comes with this mod, and add (or delete) any Form ID that you wish.
Compatibility
Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods.
-
[]Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) does not edit levelled lists, and does not modify or generate new records.
[
]Body slots, however, are not compatible. Choose wisely, or edit the body slot. I will not alter body slots.[]Clipping will likely occur depending on setup. I will not resolve clipping issues.
Installation and Uninstallation
Use the mod manager of your choice to install. Or manually. To uninstall, remove with mod manager. My understanding is that SPID will not impact save games in any way. Safe to uninstall at anytime.
Configuration
Huge number of configuration options available in the _DISTR.ini. Some knowledge of Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) is useful to achieve desired results.
Caveats, Recommendations, and Extensions
- []Fully standalone. Druid Backpack - Mihail Armors and Clothes is not required. The very generous permissions from MihailMods made this mod possible. Be sure to thank MihailMods and endorse Druid Backpack - Mihail Armors and Clothes

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 222 endorsements and over 205k downloads.
- Highly configurable – you can pick exactly which NPCs get the backpack.
- Taps into Mihail's popular armor mod for a cohesive look.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both SPID and the Druid Backpack mod – extra setup if you don't have them.
- Only adds a backpack – no gameplay changes, so if you want stats or effects, look elsewhere.
- Last updated in 2022 – might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
For Skyrim players who use Mihail's armor mods and want NPCs to actually wear the gear. If you're into immersion and visual variety, this is a quick win. Skip if you're not using SPID or Mihail's mods – it's purely cosmetic and requires those dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SPID installed and properly configured – it's required for this mod to work.
- Use the config file to exclude NPCs you don't want to have the backpack, like essential story characters.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
