Detailed NPCs is my suite of mods that equips various items to NPCs relevant to their roles (e.g., guards, mercenaries, farmers, etc.). As a result, Detailed NPCs enhances storytelling through small visual cues that provide insights (even clues!) to all the wonderful (and not so wonderful!) NPCs in game. Many of my mods can be used together to create layers of meaning.
;Equip Wanderer's Backpack LIGHT to Whomever You Want! Spell = 0x809~DNPCsWandererBackpacks.esp|ActorTypeNPC|NONE|NONE|NONE|NONE|100 ;Equip Wanderer's Backpack DARK to Whomever You Want! ;Spell = 0x80A~DNPCsWandererBackpacks.esp|ActorTypeNPC|NONE|NONE|NONE|NONE|100
the semi colon before the "spell" ( ;spell) means that SPID will ignore that line, thus not distributing any dark backpacks to npcs.
simple fix is to delete that semi colon ; before the "spell" :)
if anyone reads this and wants to reduce the spawn frequency, change the number at the end of each line, between 1-100, i personally choose 5 percent :)
you can also change "ActorTypeNPC" to something else to limit the people who spawn with it :) like ActorTypeKhajiit :)
This mod is great but I don't think you should leave it up to the users to have to deal with a config file that most of us don't understand.
It would be really great if you could come up with some basic config files that people might use. For example anyone can equip these backpacks and I would like to limit it to neutral travelers and travelling merchants. But I have no idea how to do so.
I looked at the tutorial and it is just not going to be happening on my end. This may seem simple to someone who understands programming but not to me. I would love to use this mod when such an option is available. But until then I cannot despite the fact that I want to. Though I am still lookin at your "curated" detailed npcs mods. And the work still gets a solid endorsement from me.
This looks awesome in game! However, i'd rather not see the packs on every single npc. I understand that it can be changed in the config file, but I have no idea how to do this. Any advice on how to distribute it to guards, bandits, hunters and workers?
My article might help https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/4022 I wrote it for another mod, but the exact same principles apply for this mod. in the article, you will find a link to find Form IDs for guards, hunters, bandits, etc. hope this helps

Would you consider making a similar mod to distribute the creation club backpacks to appropriate NPC's? Thanks
