📋 About This Mod
NOTICE (Dec 6 2024): I've stopped supporting this mod. Since that one update BethSoft did, where it screwed up Fallout London's release, my own modlist was killed and irreconcilable differences have appeared, causing me to uninstall and give up. If this mod still works for you, great. If it doesn't, the Creation Kit is probably the easiest modding tool to use ever. You could make a better mod than I did, and it will actually work properly instead of using a workaround! Sorry, mateys.
This mod is intended for Survival difficulty where food and water are required to sustain a healthy character.
