This is a mod making the player character's personal hygiene affect his/her disposition towards NPCs and creatures. It includes built-in language localization support for English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese (simplified). Read below for details on how to use it with HUD Status Bars (highly recommended).

The player character becomes dirtier over time and at an increasing rate depending on his/her actions (fighting, swimming in a sewer, etc.). In specific, body parts are individually tracked and together combine to his/her overall hygiene level. The hygiene level is used to determine if the player character suffers a penalty to his/her personality when dirty or receive a small bonus when being sufficiently clean. When being too smelly, he/she will also become easier to detect when sneaking and can even contract diseases. The tracked body parts are the feet, calves, thighs, torso, arms and head and become more or less dirty depending on the player character's actions (walking through water for instance will only get your feet more dirty or clean).

Rain, fountains, wells, baths and any other water will affect the player character's hygiene level in some way. Washing with soap will improve this. Baths are by default not available in-game, but can, just like soap, be purchased from most merchants selling miscellaneous items. The type of items sold is based on the npc's social status. These items can also be bought in Shivering Isles, if installed. Some of the merchants selling these items are:
