📋 About This Mod

I love playing survival with Campfire and Sunhelm, but especially if you are using Bandolier and a horse, you will end up having way too much free carry weight from campfire backpacks, your bandolier pouches, and the overpowered Unyielding perk from Sunhelm.

What my patches do:

1) Sunhelm Unyielding Nerf: Unyielding perk maxed out now gives you 50 total carry weight instead of 100.  Requires that you install Sunhelm along with its Campfire skill tree from the FOMOD.  Make sure my patch overwrites mods like Sunhelm Harsher Cold and Sunhelm SMC Compatibility Tweak (both recommended).

2) Campfire Backpack Nerf: Requires Campfire - Rebalanced Backpacks which adds a stamina regen penalty to the regular backpacks.  This mod claimed to remove the recipes for the amulet backpacks, but I found that the method they used to delete the references did not work, and there was also no patch for CCOR.  I have covered both of these issues with my patches.  The CCOR version requires CCOR and its campfire patch from kryptopyr's patch hub.  The whole idea here is if you can't craft them, you can't use them.  They will not show up as recipes at the tanner.

Using my mods together gives you a total of only 100 extra free carry weight from Sunhelm and Campfire (not including bandolier, if using), with a reasonable stamina penalty when using the backpack..  I also strongly recommend Bandolier Bags and Pouches Immersive Tweaks if using Bandolier, so that you have weight for your pouches as well.  The campfire nerf is especially refreshing because without the free extra amulet (Which is OP AF) but with a stamina penalty, the player will not want to use the backpack all the time, and maybe not at all depending on playstyle.  This opens up many more possibilities for outfit choices and role-playing, and you won't feel forced to always have a backpack anymore.

Note that the campfire patches, either the one with or without CCOR, are plugin replacers.  So my campfire patches will conflict with any other mod that replaces the plugins in my files.

Tip for those looking for even more consistency with these mods: Survival Control Panel will add warmth values to the campfire cloaks with 0 setup or tweaking required.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 1,046 endorsements and over 12,000 downloads.
  • Fixes a real issue where amulet backpacks were still craftable despite the rebalance mod.
  • Encourages more outfit variety and role-playing by making backpacks a trade-off, not a must-have.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires multiple mods to work: Sunhelm, Campfire, Campfire - Rebalanced Backpacks, and optionally CCOR.
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Sunhelm or Campfire, so load order needs careful management.
  • The stamina penalty might make backpacks useless for some playstyles, which could be a downside if you like the look.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim survival players who feel that Sunhelm and Campfire give too much free carry weight, especially if you use Bandolier and a horse. This is for you if you want a more challenging survival experience with meaningful trade-offs. Skip if you prefer overpowered survival mechanics or don't use these mods.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to install Sunhelm's Campfire skill tree from its FOMOD, otherwise the Unyielding nerf won't work.
  • Place this patch after Sunhelm Harsher Cold and Sunhelm SMC Compatibility Tweak in your load order so it overwrites them.
  • If using the CCOR version, you'll need kryptopyr's patch hub to get the campfire patch for CCOR.
