About the mod
THE MOD DOES NOT PLAY THE GAME FOR YOU!
SkyTrek is a mod that allows you to have a more hands-off experience so that you can enjoy the aesthetic of your game, or immersively have your character behave in an organic way while you eat lunch. It is made primarily for roleplayers, screenarchers and anyone that records gameplay.
SkyTrek allows the player character to travel on foot, horse or dragon to either a set or radiant destination of their choice. The radiant system is custom made and can work "out of the box" with any mod added location or world, provided it is correctly keyworded!
There is also an automated combat system for use while traveling with optional shouting and class system.
This mod has been featured on various news sites such as PC Gamer, PC Games Network, Eurogamer, Videogame Times, Kotaku... The list is ongoing, however, their articles are misrepresentations of the mod's content!
The following is a general usage guide that should answer some FAQ's. For more information, see the mod page or ask on my discord. It's long, but please try to read all of it.
MCM
The MCM page contains various hotkeys and mod features that the book does not. I strongly recommend making use of the hotkeys in particular. To get the hotkeys to work, you'll need to open the MCM at least once. If a hotkey button mapping doesn't suit you then change it to something that does. The hotkey symbols do not match the keys they are mapped to on my keyboard, hence the scroll-over text.
Default hotkey mapping:
Quickstart: @
Quick stop: #
Menu: ;
At first, the Hotkey page may look a bit daunting, but it really isn't as complex as it may look initially. To set up quick start we first select the "Quick Start Type". Most of them match a specific category, it's slightly different from the book. Not all of those options have their own drop-down menus, such as custom and life. They simply don't need one.
To quickstart to a city you'd have quickstart type as city then select the city you want to go to from the list. The default city is dawnstar, the default quickstart type is City. So the default quickstart is to Dawnstar. To go to that city, you would then simply just press your quickstart button, @ by default.
Most options on the MCM are fairly self-explanatory, so just try them and see what suits you most.
SkyTrek SE adds automated travel to Skyrim, letting your character ride horses or dragons and walk to set or radiant destinations at varying speeds. It includes an idle mode, automated NPC following, custom destination setting, and an automated combat system. This is a gameplay mod for players who want to multitask or enjoy hands-off play.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid following with 997 endorsements and over 20k downloads
- Offers a unique hands-free way to travel across Skyrim
- Includes automated combat, which is a rare feature in travel mods
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE versions
- Automated combat could be overpowered or break game balance
- Potential conflicts with other gameplay overhauls that alter movement or combat
For Skyrim players who want to automate travel and combat, letting the game play itself while they watch. Also for those who enjoy role-playing as a passenger on their horse or dragon. Skip if you prefer full manual control or want a more immersive, hands-on experience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to read the mod's description on the Nexus for any specific setup instructions, as the provided description is brief.
- Test the automated combat in a safe area first to see how it handles different enemy types.
- If you use other mods that change horse or dragon behavior, load SkyTrek after them to ensure compatibility.
