Simple Bandit Camps is a (work in progress) dungeon pack aimed at adding early game friendly dungeons to holds that lacked good starting options, such as The Reach, Hjaalmarch, Winterhold, and The Pale.
My goal is to create vanilla friendly dungeons, ones that fit in with the pre-established way the base game goes about dungeon design.
Currently, Simple Bandit Camps adds 6 new dungeons to the Skyrim mainland:
- Hellivuud (The Pale)
- Bleakcoast Lookout (Winterhold)
- Karth River Refuge (The Reach)
- Hollow-Horn Cave (The Reach)
- Reachslope Mine (The Reach)
All locations contain the proper keywords and will be used by the radiant quest system, as well as the vanilla bounty quest system.
All interior cells have been given full lighting/navmesh and roombounds/portal markers. All dungeons were also built with base game assets.
The download includes a read-me file that details bandit camp locations and COC commands to reach them. Avoid reading it if you'd rather stumble on the bandit camps naturally.
The mod uses vanilla LvlBandit actors, and the few named bosses also use vanilla templates, ensuring max compatibility with vanilla setups, as well as modded overhauls like Requiem The Roleplaying Overhaul, 3BFTweaks, or anything else that heavily edits NPCs/enemies.
Simple Bandit Camps includes the following patches in its FOMOD:
Lux
ELFX/ELFX Shadows - Just a general patch, will work with any version, more specific patches will be made at a later time for Enhancer/Hardcore
Enhanced Lighting for ENB (ELE) *(ELE is no longer available on nexus, support may discontinue in the future)
Embers XD
Lux Orbis
Bounty Quests Redone - NG - An updated config file is provided. It will overwrite the old one from BQR, from when Simple Bandit Camps was a demo file on another page
Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE
Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim - Small navmesh patch available
JK's Skyhaven Temple - Small navmesh patch available
Remiel - Custom Voiced Dwemer Specialist and Companion - Small navmesh patch available
If there is a patch that I currently handle that you would like to take over, feel free. 3rd party patches of any kind are also fine.
Also let me know if a mod needs patched, I'll try my best to do so.
Work on Simple Bandit Camps will continue as time allows. If you happen upon an area YOU think could use a new bandit dungeon, feel free to let me know, I'm always open to recommendations :)
Porting to console is fine, if that is something someone wants to do. 3rd party patches are also welcome.
CREDITS
A big thank you to everyone in the Requiem/3BFTweaks discord who helped with testing Simple Bandit Camps, as well as the wabbajack list authors who included the demo version of Simple Bandit Camps in their lists.
Another big thank you to AgentW for improving the Lux patch substantially, with better dramatic lighting and atmosphere. Go and check out their mods, there are many gems they have made.
And lastly and probably most important, a HUGE thank you to DarkFox127, who's Creation Kit tutorials were absolutely crucial to my learning when it came to dungeon building.
If you liked the mod, drop an endorsement if you so wish. Helps me see how I'm doing with the mod, in a sense. Thanks!
