CRACKLE - Comforting fires for the discerning hobo -

What it is:

I felt like something was missing from Fallout 4. I start a lot of new games where my character has nothing, and nowhere to go. Often using my light alternate start mod DLYH. Many times I'd get caught out in the rain only to come upon a fire. I usually roleplay being grateful to have the warmth, but the game itself gives me no such feedback and after a while such willful  "making your own fun" gets tiresome, so I thought: "What if the fires did SOMETHING... Anything... even if very small"? So I made this little mod.

What it does:

Exposure and warmth:

Now when you come upon a open fire in the world, such as a bonfire, campfire, or fire barrel, it will grant you a little bonus to endurance and added protection against diseases in survival mode. You have to sit by the fire a while to warm up before the effect starts, but once it does it will persist as long as you stay near, and for a few minutes after you leave (less if it's raining) The disease protection is particularly useful if you eat in front of the fire, or sleep by it. I personally think this is very realistic and immersive.

Rain will now cool you off. There is no negative effect to this except if you get too cold it will take you longer to get warmed at the fire and receive the buff. If you are cold and not near a fire being under shelter will warm you up slowly, until you no longer have the cold time penalty at a fire. I didn't feel it was necessary to make rain more punitive as the vanilla game already raises your disease chance from being out in rain. It also works with snow.

Swimming makes you soaking wet, which makes you cold. You will slowly warm up when cold if the sun is out. as well as when in cover, but you will not warm up without a fire at night, unless you are under shelter, you will however dry from being soaking wet to merely cold. (If it's not raining) Forage for wood, with potential dangerous encounters. However if your legs are crippled you won't be able to do this!

It works with fires in the world, as well as with the Workshop campfire and fire barrel added by Wasteland Workshop. It also works out of the box with the following camping mods:

Kitcat's camping gear (Recommended. Fires and tents as shelter!. Get "Firewood" item, and manual from MCM, and then forage for wood!)

Campsite (Fires, Forage for firestarting kits instead of wood.)

Advanced needs 2 (Fires)

Conquest (Fires)

Buildable burning campfires and fireplaces (Fires)

Woody's Wasteland Stuff (Fires)

Sit or sleep anywhere, with Survival mode saving:

Now, you can sit on the ground, or on top of most even surfaces whenever you like. You have several positions to choose from including a wounded sit. After you sit you'll be presented with a menu. You
