    []_DISTR.ini designed for maximum configurability

Requirements
  • []Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)

    []Pelts 'o' Plenty - Fur Pelt Cloaks

    Overview

    My mod utilizes a small script that runs once (at game initialization) to distribute and equip a RANDOM (bear, cave bear, fox, goat, ice wolf, wolf) cloak to Elder NPCs. I have edited the distribution so that only about half of the Elder NPCs are covered. See _DISTRI.ini. Mod can be configured to distribute cloaks to any NPC and / or any group of NPCs that you wish! Edit the _DISTR.ini that comes with each mod, and add (or delete) any Form ID that you wish.

    Two versions: HDT and non-HDT.

    I have generated an option to batch-distribute cloaks RANDOMLY in order to minimize _DISTR.ini management. Set it and forget it. See _DISTR.ini

    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

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 179 endorsements and over 8.8k downloads, so it's proven to work for many.
  • No records edited and ESL-flagged, so it's safe for your save and won't conflict with most mods.
  • Highly configurable via _DISTR.ini—you can tweak which NPCs get cloaks and how many.

⚠️ Cons

  • Body slot 46 is used, so it can conflict with other mods that use that slot—you'll need to choose wisely or edit the slot yourself.
  • Clipping is likely depending on your setup, and the author won't fix it, so expect some visual glitches.
  • Requires two dependencies (SPID and Pelts 'o' Plenty), so it's not a standalone drop-in mod.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to add visual flair to Elder NPCs without touching gameplay or save files. If you're into immersion and don't mind tweaking INI files, this is a great pick. Skip if you hate clipping or don't want to manage dependencies.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to install—it'll handle the file structure and make uninstalling a breeze.
  • If you're new to SPID, check out its documentation to understand how _DISTR.ini works before tweaking.
  • Test the mod on a fresh save or after installing to see if any body slot conflicts arise with your other mods.
