A real 'traveling' caravan mod

While searching for mods at Nexus, I had an idea after looking at this wonderful mod.

The original mod allows you to have fast travels to major settlements for a small fee. It is suggested for players that use No fast travel mods or players that prefer not to fast travel. Here's my request/suggestion for any modders out there, instead of the fast travel, you get to travel with the caravans in real time to the major settlements of your choice , for a small fee they provide you with protection. You get to request them to wait or stay stationary along your journey for those players who want to replenish their needs ( any basic needs mod ). With real time traveling caravans, it really brings more immersion to gameplay. Finally, kudos to the original mod owner. Need your feedback guys, I really want to know if such a mod is possible.

Actually, the caravans DO travel that way if you're in the same cell with them, this is why there are mods that make caravan groups essential. Blaze once found Lucky Harith and his guard taking on a house full of raiders. Of course, she rushed to assist. She doesn't know that I have one of the aformentioned mods, after all.

 

Also, I do sort of remember seeing a mod that's kind of the inverse of what you're asking for -- it had groups of travellers (don't remember if the vanilla caravans were included) that would offer to pay YOU to escort them. Unfortunately, I don't remember its name. Perhaps someone else who does will drop by the thread.

Great idea on wagon. I can't imagine how it would look like in game though. A normal brahmin caravan with guards would be more than enough.

It's the road warden mod. Vanilla caravans are edited. Way too many guards in a single caravan, it looks like a marching band from far. Besides that, you can't request them to travel to specific cities, you're forced to follow them around.

I'd love to see this happen. I'd help but I'm still a noob the geck (the only scripts i made were a working nukacola machine that gave you nukacola for caps and a working oven that you can make mirelurk patties and cook brahmin steak (possibly burning it)

Thank you for your support. I'd really want this to happen too. I'm an immersive freak when it comes to playing games like fallout 3 and oblivion. I even play the game without HUD and crosshair. My game wouldn't be complete without this. Could someone please take this idea into consideration...

I have another idea, I think this would be easier to mod instead of having a whole new caravan in each major settlement to travel with you. Maybe someone could just script the vanilla caravans, then you could request to travel with them to the major settlements of your choice for a small fee. You may ask the caravan's next destination. If the caravan is already on their way or going to the same place that you had in mind, then it's free of charge. Example - Crazy wolfgang outside Megaton is going to Arefu, you want to go to Arefu, then it'll be free of charge and he welcomes you into the group. If Crazy wolfgang outside Megaton is going to Arefu, you want to go to Rivet City, then you have to pay him 100 caps and he welcomes you into the group.

That would be the "MTC Wasteland Travellers" mod, I think. Just checked and it's been updated.
