Travellers of Skyrim is not compatible with mods that remove any of the travel locations (all inns, courts and castles, general goods stores, apothecaries and blacksmiths).
If you are using ‘UFO – Ultimate Follower Overhaul’ have a look at the ‘Optional Files’ section below.
For compatibility between the ‘Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade’ mod and the ‘Bags and Pouches Addon’ and the ‘Dragonborn and Bags and Pouches Addon’ use one of the ‘CCOR Addons’.
6. Optional Files
6.1 Outdated files:
Since version 1.10 the mod includes optional files containing only specific travellers:
‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Alchemists Vanilla.esp’, ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Apothecaries Vanilla.esp’, ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Mercenaries Vanilla.esp’ and ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Merchants Vanilla.esp’.
These optional files containing only specific travellers are only available until version 1.20!
They can be combined as you please.
In order to use them the ‘TravellersOfSkyrim.esm’ of the same version is required!
They can’t be used in combination with ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Vanilla.esp’!
As an alternative to these files a more flexible SkyProc based patcher has been introduced.

6.10 Custom Travellers
The ‘Travellers of Skyrim – Custom Travellers’ patcher allows you to set custom health, magicka and stamina offsets for the travellers.
Using this functionality of the patcher you can adjust the strength of the different traveller types.
It will also allow you to disable any of the travellers added by the main mod.
Your for example can create a ‘Travellers of Skyrim’ version containing only merchants and alchemists.
Due to the nature of the patcher the NPCs aren’t completely removed from the game, just the AIPackage, which is responsible for their travelling.
Thus they will still be in the game world inside of an isolated cell, which can’t be accessed by the player without console commands.
Disabling travellers and custom offsets can be done at the same time.
Install:
For a manual installation extract to archive into your Skyrim ‘Data’ folder.
Uninstall:
To manually uninstall it simply delete the ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers’ folder located in ‘Data\SkyProc Patchers’ and the ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers.esp’ inside the ‘Data’ folder.
If it’s the only SkyProc patcher installed the ‘SkyProc Patchers’ folder can be deleted as well.
Even when using a mod manger the ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers.esp’ and the folder(s) have to be deleted manually.
Usage:
Disable Travellers
Paste the EditorIDs of the travellers you want to be removed into the ‘TravellersToRemove.txt’ file, located at ‘Data\SkyProc Patchers\TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers’.
Each EditorID has to be in it’s own line without any spaces.
Inside of the ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers\Templates’ folder you can find plenty of pre-made lists to copy into the ‘TravellersToRemove.txt’.
The ‘4 – All Travellers – All.txt’ template isn’t very usefully on it’s own since it would disable all travellers.
But it can be used as a base for a custom list.
‘EditorIDs explained.txt’ explains the structure of the EditorIDs so you can identify which traveller is which.
Custom Offsets
Paste the content of the offset template you want to use into the ‘Offsets.txt’ file, located at ‘Data\SkyProc Patchers\TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers’.
The templates are located at ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers\Templates’.
’00 – Offsets – Original Values.txt’ contains the original values so it won’t be of any use on it’s own.
But it can be a starting point for your own offsets (If you choose to do so, I would not advise to go below -40).
The ‘Templates’ folder also contains a short .txt explaining how to test your custom offsets.
For both
Once your ‘TravellersToRemove.txt’ file is filled with the to be removed travellers and/or the ‘Offsets.txt’ file with the custom offsets, run the ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers.jar’ and go through the patching process.
By the default the files are blank, so if you only want to use one of the functions no changes will be made unless you make changes to the relevant .txt file.
After the patching is done you’ll find a ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Custom Travellers.esp’ in your Skyrim ‘Data’ folder.
Be sure to load it after ‘TravellersOfSkyrim – Vanilla.esp’.
Requirements:
Java Runtime Environment
