📋 About This Mod

Your Survival skill improves your corpse eating abilities!

Finally you can satiate your hunger by eating Easy Pete.

Changes the equation for health and hunger regained from

25 + (Survival / 2)

At 100 Survival, you gain 75 health and hunger from cannibalism.

The Ghastly Scavenger perk does the same, but with 50 instead of 25 points.

Fun fact: the Cannibal perk works on children, with or without this mod. You'll need a killable kids mod though.

Completely safe to use: the only conflicts would be with other mods that edit said perk. No dirty edits in the esp.
