Many of the users of "Lanterns of Skyrim - All In One" mod asked me to make a "caretaker" about the lanterns.
Well, I did it. This mod add five new NPCs: Aldo, Francesco, Lisa, Gina and Cecilia. All NPCs are the Lantern Caretakers.
Firing up all the lanterns is quite expensive and impossible. For example, Gina, the caretaker of Markarth feud, would take some days to lit up all the lanterns!
So the concept is that you will watch the scene of the last lantern to lit up by the NPC and so he goes to the nearest inn.
AI PACKAGES
===========
All the NPCs have the same behavior:
1. Going near to the lantern to be lit
2. Firing up the lantern
3. Going to the nearest inn
HOW TO TRIG AND WHERE ARE THE SCENES
====================================
To trig the scene you must pass some volumes from 7pm to 11pm of every day.
INSTALLATION
============
You need the Lanterns of Skyrim SE mod first or you'll get Instant-CTD.
You can use NMM to install or you can do the manual installation by unpacking the ESP and BSA to the data folder of Skyrim.
Loadorder should be:

Lantern Caretakers SE is a port of MannyGT's mod for Skyrim Special Edition, adding 5 new NPCs called Lantern Caretakers. It requires Lanterns of Skyrim SE and is designed to enhance immersion by populating the world with caretakers for the lanterns.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 713 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Adds a simple, lore-friendly touch that makes the world feel more lived-in.
- Lightweight addition that doesn't overhaul anything—just drops in 5 NPCs.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Lanterns of Skyrim SE, so you can't use it standalone.
- Only adds 5 NPCs, so it's a minor tweak rather than a major content expansion.
- Last updated in 2019, so it may have compatibility issues with newer mods or patches.
For Skyrim SE players who already use Lanterns of Skyrim and want a bit more life around those lanterns. If you're into immersion and don't mind a small, focused addition, this is a nice touch. Skip it if you don't use Lanterns of Skyrim or want something more substantial.

- Make sure you have Lanterns of Skyrim SE installed and activated before adding this mod.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage load order easily.
