DESCRIPTION

This mod adds a very simple hygiene system. You become more and more dirty as you go and need to wash yourself from time to time.

You can configure the mod with the .ini file provided.

How does it work ?

Gradually, your dirt level increases, granting you miscellaneous bonuses and penalties. You can then wash in the water or in a functional bathtub using or not soap. An animation will play.

Visible dirt : thanks to shaders, you can now see dirt on your character.

Running and Fighting raise your dirt level faster. Swimming work as a bath, but need more time to reduce your dirt level than bathing.

If you do nothing, here are the default timers:

Clean -> Vanilla = 48 hours ; (soap use)

Vanilla -> Level 1 = 72 hours

Level 1 -> Level 2 = 48 hours

Level 2 -> Level 3 = 48 hours

Level 3 -> Level 4 = 48 hours

  • []In the water: aim (right mouse button) and activate the water, you will have the choice between drinking or washing. You can also simply swim to slowly decrease your dirt level.[/]

    []Functional bathtub: to be usable, a bathtub must be positioned flat (or almost flat) on the floor and be in the same cell as a source of drinking water. "Natural" water is therefore not taken into account. To wash, enter the bathtub and activate it to begin the operation. Be careful: if the drinking water source of the cell is irradiated, the water of your bath will also be... Note that Bathtub are dynamically converted from static item to activators. You can use them to drink too, like any water source.[/]

    Soaps (optional)

    Soap can be crafted with 1 Broc Flower OR 1 Apple OR 1 Pear, 1 Turpentine and 1 Abraxo Cleaner. Crafting it requires Survival 50. This is the only way to get the "clean" status. Washing with water only gives the "normal" (vanilla) status. Soap feature can be enabled or disabled with the .ini file. When disabled, the "clean" status can not be reached. You can also find Soap in some containers and in some vendor stocks.

    Wash your face at sinks (optional)

    You can refresh your face at sinks. Unlike bathtubs, this doesn't allow you to be cleaner, but simply to keep you longer at the dirt level you cu
