USE THOSE BLANKETS
SHEETS OF SKYRIM
SKY-BURRITOS
Features and FYIs:
- NPC Support: NPCs will now use a blanket when sleeping, with different support for different types of beds. They will no longer be sleeping on top of the bedroll like complete dimwits. FINALLY.
- Player Support: If using Go To Bed, player can also cover themselves with a blanket. As of 2. 0, this works automatically upon you lying down on a bed.
- No performance hit: There are no cloak spells, looping scripts, or anything like that in the mod. Just a spell that is only active when NPCs are sleeping.
- Requirements: Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) and its requirements (duh)
- Recommended: Sleeping Expanded (For NPC Reactions + Sleeping Animations) and Go To Bed (To see the player character sleep).
- The catch: The meshes used to be ugly. Now they're pretty thanks to the wonderful PaganoWagano. So that's no longer a catch! I guess the catch now could be that if you have a extremely bulky armor, a crazy skirt, a character as big as a door... or a very thicc posterior, perhaps the blankets might clip a little. Currently there are two different blankets for each bed that gets chosen automatically based on your armor: big (heavy armor) and thin blankets (light armor/naked). I might eventually look at making XXL blankets if needed, but the current ones should suffice for now.

- Jay, these meshes are bad, and you should feel bad. Shame on you and your cow!
Shut your fus-ro-hole! The new blankets in 2. 0 are BEAUTIFUL.
- I use custom animations for my sleeping positions, and the blankets are not matching my position. Help!
Mod was made with the vanilla-like animations of Sleeping Expanded in mind. Obviously, vanilla animations will work too. If you have something else for your sleeping animations, it might or not look good.
- How does this work? Does this affect performance?
It shouldn't affect performance at all. How it works: SPID distributes a spell to suitable NPCs. The spell is only active when a NPC goes to sleep, activated via a native condition check. Once the NPC starts sleeping, mod spawns the corresponding blanket and also despawns it after the NPC w
