📋 About This Mod

Enabling 'Use Additional Animation Sources'  in the launcher's settings is required.

Enabling 'Smooth Animation Transitions' in the launcher's settings is strongly recommended.

Sun's Dusk food and drinks are supported, but you'll need to enable the corresponding options in this mod's settings. If you use Sun's Dusk, make sure you have at least the 1. 9. 3 version installed.

Known Issues

1) When switching from the 1stp to the 3rdp or vice versa while eating or drinking, the animation stops/disappears. Nothing serious, you just won't be able to see the seamless transition of the animation. This is an engine limitation, so please don't do that. Or use the option in the setting to disable switching while the animation plays.

2) Magic VFX REtexture by ArticusCreativeStudio can cause lag spikes.

3) Vanilla quick keys can't be intercepted by lua. So refrain from using them during animation playing when having 'disable the consecutive consumption' option enabled.

Supported food / non-potion drinks:

    []Tamriel Rebuilt, SHON, PC[/]

    []Sun's Dusk, if you enable the corresponding options[/]

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you're using OpenMW, not the original Morrowind engine — this mod is specifically for OpenMW.
  • Check the mod's forum or comments for any load order or installation tips, since the description doesn't provide them.
  • Test with a save before committing — animations can sometimes conflict with other mods.
