📋 About This Mod
A simple mod to distribute AI packages to selected (configurable) NPCs to get them to visit the 'roadside' stalls in Socalista's excellent Regional Merchants - Stalls of Skyrim mod, for extra immersion.
There are currently two 'out of town' stalls in the mod so I've created a few AI packages so nearby NPCs will visit the stalls from time to time. If more stalls are added I will update the mod to accommodate these.
By default, the mod adds the following packages to the following NPCs;
Stall outside Whiterun on the road;
-
[]Every Tuesday and Thursday, Ysolda will visit from 1pm
[
]Every Wednesday, Alfhild Battle-Born will visit from 2pm[]Every Friday, Nimriel and Severio Pelagia will visit from 11am
[]Every Saturday, Jon Battle-Born and Olfina Gray-Mane (awww!) will visit from 12pm
Stall near Old Hroldan;
I couldn't find many NPCs to visit so Leontius Salvius will wander down there three times a week.
-
[]Every Sunday from 12pm
[
]Every Monday from 2pm[]Every Tuesday from11am
You can of course edit the DISTR file by opening it in Notepad or similar to add (or remove) NPCs you want to visit.
For example if you want to add Nazeem to the Wednesday visit, edit this line and add Nazeem, with a comma, like this;
Package = 0x801~NPCs Visit Regional Merchants.esp|Alfhild Battle-Born,Nazeem
If you're adding NPCs, use common sense. Probably best to not put innkeepers, followers or NPCs with major quests in there, especially with The Reach stall as there are Forsworn about. Also make sure they're fairly close by as they have to walk there and if they're too far away, they may not even get there before they turn back.

This add-on for Socalista's Regional Merchants - Stalls of Skyrim makes local NPCs visit roadside sellers using SPID-distributed AI packages. It's ESL-flagged for minimal load order impact. With 195 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but appreciated enhancement for Skyrim players using that mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 195 endorsements and nearly 7k downloads
- Makes the world feel more alive by having NPCs actually use the stalls
- ESL-flagged means you can add it without worrying about load order space
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both Regional Merchants - Stalls of Skyrim and SPID to work, so it's not standalone
- Only affects NPCs near the stalls, so impact is limited to those areas
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter NPC AI or use SPID for similar purposes
For Skyrim players who use Regional Merchants - Stalls of Skyrim and want to see NPCs actually interact with the stalls. If you're into immersion and world-building, this is a nice touch. Skip if you don't use the base mod or prefer gameplay over atmosphere.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SPID installed and updated, as this mod relies on it to distribute the AI packages.
- Load this mod after Regional Merchants in your mod manager to ensure proper overwrite order.
- Check the in-game stalls after installing to see NPCs visiting; if not, verify SPID is working with a test mod.
