I am all for this mod myself. I didn't expect it in the standard game, to be honest, but I'm pretty sure once someone makes this mod, my game won't feel complete without it.

Well, there's that "rested" effect where your skills improve faster for a while after you've slept. That's a nice feature. Plus, it'd add some more immersion to the inevitable realism mods with eating, drinking and sleeping.

I posted this in the other thread, but I made a (simple, just spawns a bedroll on the ground where you're standing, look at the horizon to make it roughly level) http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2037 mod that uses Script Dragon. I plan to add a tent, campfire and cookpot soon. Unfortunately, until the CK is out, I won't be adding any inventory items for the bedroll and such.

Look at how the Dragons fall to the ground and how they alter the ground. That would be a good starting direction.

Hopefully the CK will allow making the components easy to setup. I remember campsite kits that had parts that bounced all over when you dropped them. It was sometimes a pain to "grab" it with the z key and place it properly. One that got it right was the pillow mod. Just drop it click it and sleep. No crazy placement issues.

Is anyone working on this mod? I would, but I am a complete noob to the CK!

The campsite is back up:

Awesome!

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1345999-wip-deadly-exposure/ has plans for a campsite and campfire as well as expanded purpose for them.

Deadly Exposure will be nice, but for now, that portable campsite is just what I was waiting for. Awesome!
