📋 About This Mod
Details:
All of Skyrim's mainland bandit enemies introduced in Lawless can now be found within Bruma. Every single bandit enemy has been built from the ground up to specifically use Bruma's voices, weapons, and armor. Bandits will now follow Lawless' scaling system for both regular enemies and bosses, and all mainland bandit archetype variants can be found in Bruma.
Overall bandit gear progression matches Lawless' system, but incorporates Bruma's unique weapons and armor to replace appropriate vanilla pieces. Archetype specific aesthetic differences remain intact from Lawless, as well as the new bandit gold systems.
Numerous bugs associated with Bruma's bandits, including incorrect templates, mismatching leveled list scaling, incorrect classes, etc etc, have all been corrected.
Installation:
This mod should be safe to install at any point before traveling to Bruma. I do not recommend uninstalling this at any time during a playthrough, and will be unable to provide any troubleshooting assistance if you decide to do so.

For Skyrim players who already run Beyond Skyrim: Bruma and want a more challenging, varied bandit experience. If you're a fan of Lawless in the base game, this is essential. Skip if you don't use Bruma or prefer vanilla bandit scaling.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Beyond Skyrim: Bruma and Lawless installed and activated before adding this mod, and load it after both in your mod order.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order—just place Lawless Bruma after the other two mods.
- Check the mod page for any compatibility patches if you use other bandit overhauls or encounter mods, as they may conflict.
