Camping lite is a simple, streamlined, camping mod.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod has been updated for Skyrim Special edition here
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are few other camping mods, but I made this one for people (like me) who want to keep the idea simple and who want an easier and faster method to set up a Camp through an ability (power).
It's designed to provide to the player a tent, a fire and a small sitting log, that can be installed in a fast efficient way.
The last camp also provides a map marker on the Tamriel map, and allows fast travel.

It also should be compatible with all hypothermia mods that use generic formID to find fire sources.

Thanks to all others camping mods for inspiration.
Thanks for the help with translation (especially Cemology & gtk), and to all other for ideas.

Howto:
Just go to a forge and craft a Camping Kit (in misc section). You will then gain a new ability that will let you set up a tent, a fire, and gather wood if you are near a tree.
This ability can be used like any other capacity / shout, and can be found under the power menu (where you also can find Race ability for example). You can put this ability in your favorite menu.

For players who want more options, there is an abandonned camp (called Jeremiah's camp on the map) at the west of Whiterun where you can find a book that will teach you how to craft some more advanced stuff like:
- Steel piquet: turns the nord tent into an imperial tent
- Leather extension: If you have 2 camping Kits + 1 leather extension, you can build a bigger tent.
- Compass: Allow player to fast travel to his last camp directly from the ability (you can always travel with the world map).


-------------
More details:
[Tent] Pitch a tent, with a bedroll and a sitting log in front of you. Use the bedroll to sleep, and use the tent to take it back.
[CampFire]: Build a campfire, in front of you. If you have wood, the fire is burning otherwise it's not. You can light it up by "using it" if you can find some wood. If you sneak while using it, you can simply remove it. (if it's lighting up at this time, you will get back one small firewood)
[Gather Wood]: Just go close to a tree, then choose this option, and you gain 0-2 small firewoods.
[Return to camp]: Fast travel to your camp (only available if you have a compass)

- When you are "using" an extinguished fire, you are trying to light it. (1 original skyrim firewood provides 8 hours of fire and 1 small firewood provides 2 hours. The mod tries to use up to 4 small firewoods at a time.
- When you are using a burning fire, you can cook. (I have removed the cookpot effect because that was causing wierd buggy situation, but the cooking is still available)
- The number of tent is limited by the number of camping kit that are in your inventory.
- You can only have one fire at a time, so you don't have to bother with it. As soon as you are making a new one, the old one disappear. (this also can help you to place it correctly if you are not happy by its place. In a general way try using flat and clear zone when you are building a camp.

FAQ:
Q: Where is the camping ability?
A: Once you have crafted your first camping kit, you gain a new ability located in your power menu. It's where you also usually find your racial skill or werewolf ability.

Q: I crafted the kit, but I didnt get any power.
A: Most of the time it's an issue related to addon management problems.
To fix this, Open the Skyrim addon manager, uncheck the mod (disable it), launch Skyrim and make a clean save, then check the mod again (enable it) in the addon manager. (note: It's something you can try with any mods that behave weirdly.)

Q: Is it possible to gather wood from the same tree again?:
A: Yes, any tree is resetting its state after 3 days, or after you have gathered 10 other trees. Note: you always have 10% chance to gather nothing from a tree.

Q: Can you add a tanning rack, an anvil, an alchemy table, a chest, a chair, a room, a house, a city ...?
A: No: I will not add anything at this point. Camping Lite is for camping purpose. It's not a settler mod.
