📋 About This Mod
Description
Some cozy lean-tos made with sticks and canvas with optional BOS variance, a Campfire addon and a CC Camping replacer. I wanted Campfire to have lean-tos like CC Camping, since I'm unable to log into the CC to download it... Don't you want my money Todd? 😢
Main features
- []BOS Variance: Swaps out the vanilla lean-tos with a mix of canvas, sticks and stockade (vanilla) variants distributed at random (excluding farms, so lean-to chicken coops are unchanged) Requires Base Object Swapper[/]
- []Campfire addon: Adds tarp, plaid, leather, wood, and pine cover lean-tos, each with a decorative book and coffee/tea set. Works with any bedroll replacer.[/]
- []CC Camping addon: Replaces the CC Camping lean-to with a plaid, leather or sticks version. Bedroll Alternative patches under optional files[/]
Compatibility
Compatible with Seasons of Skyrim with the patch under misc files
Compatible with Civil War Battlefields with the patch under misc files
Compatible with FrankBlack's Diverse Hunter Camps as-is, his lean-tos will take precedence in some hunter camps

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Well-received by the community (497 endorsements).
- Adds variety to campsites with BOS-themed color options.
- Integrates with Creation Club content, making it useful for those who own the Camping kit.
⚠️ Cons
- Cosmetic only – no gameplay or survival mechanics changes.
- Requires the Creation Club Camping kit for the replacer feature, which is paid content.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter campsite or settlement objects.
For Fallout 4 players who enjoy building immersive campsites and want more visual variety in their settlements. Also for Brotherhood of Steel fans who want themed shelters. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes – this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install this mod through the manager to avoid manual file placement issues.
- Place this mod lower in your load order if you use other settlement-building mods to ensure the lean-tos appear correctly.
- Check that you own the Creation Club Camping kit if you want the replacer feature – otherwise, the base lean-tos still work.
