Custom Skills that allow you to deal with the downsides of Survival mods easier and also advance the hunting capabilities of your character.
There are perks that allow you to craft items without going to a settlement and perks that offset the health regeneration penalty as well as perks that aid you in hunting and gathering resources for setting up a camp.
The Perks:
Starting Perks
- Accustomed: Stamina regenerates 50% faster in exteriors
- Adaptable: Fortifies your total Stamina by 35 in exteriors (2nd rank)

- Wasteless: You gain extra parts from animals.
- Efficient Hunter: You recover more arrows from your prey

Middle
- Opportunist: Adds a crafting station to your camp whenever you build one that allows you to craft arrows and traps if you got the trapper perk
- Field Gourmet: You learn how to cook better meals at your campfire
Leveling and how it works:
Once every 6 ingame hours, when you activate your campfire (from CC camping) you are granted some experience.
you get more experience with a low level Survivor skill.
My excuse for that is that you learn more at the start and it gradually slows down the more experienced you are.
Perk Points:
Currently it uses the default perk points, keep that in mind. You might want to use a mod that grants you more perk points. There's a total of 16 points needed to max out the Survivor perk tree.
Open the Menu:
either with Custom Skills Menu or by sitting on the crate and activating the campfire
Patches provided for:
- Huntsman - A Hunting Expansion I made my perk for traps being the only way to get traps
- Skyrim Camping Expanded
- Improved Traps adjusted my potent traps to have the same damage curve
- Lethal Traps - No Smilodon Version in the FOMOD adjusted my potent traps to have the same damage curve
Incompatibilities:
- currently incompatible with: CC's Camping Expansion. I plan on patching it eventually but that'll take some time
Requirements:
- SPID mandatory for 1 perk to work
- Custom Skill Framework not a hard requirement but highly recommended
- Custom Skills Menu obviously mandatory. Version of the mod does not matter just pick the one for your game version

UI: New Horizons UI and TrueHUD
Grass: Folkvangr Summer Tundra and Realistic Grass Field
