A Carriage Driver AI Overhaul

Using SPID v6. 4. 0+, we can distribute packages to these poor carriage drivers who sit on their carts all day. Now they will go to an inn after work.

    • []Versions for Vanilla, CFTO, and More Carriages users
      • []Easy FOMOD installation
        • []Carriage drivers that set up next to settlements travel to the inns at night
          • []Hearthfire carriage drivers will lounge in your house at night
            • []The carriage drivers are no longer available around the clock
              • []Carriage guards to protect the carriages, with schedules
                • []Multiple patches and add-ons for consistency and customization
                  Thanks to Capt. Panda and Bards College Graduate for their showcases. Their descriptions of my mod are much easier to understand and they also show lots of other cool stuff.
