Description

This is a hunger, thirst and sleep mod, making eating, drinking and sleeping a more immersive experience. 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.

When the player character does not eat, drink or sleep, he/she slowly suffers stat and attribute loss. In specific stat loss is linked as follows:

• []Hunger -> Health []Thirst -> Magicka
• Sleep -> Fatigue

The affected attributes are Strength, Intelligence, Willpower, Agility, Speed, Endurance, Personality and Luck. The exact amount lost is based on many factors, like the tasks performed (higher when running, swimming, power attacking, etc.), encumbrance, weapon skills, weather conditions, etc. For example, the player character would become tired quickly when running around while carrying a lot of items and more thirsty when outdoors while the sun is shining brightly. Next to performing intensive tasks, also the player character's major skills and governing attributes affect hunger, thirst and sleep. The exact amounts however are dependant on the type of skills and their level.

Next to losing health there are also negative effects associated with this. These are collapsing when starving, blurry vision when fully dehydrated and panting when fatiguing while exhausted. Additionally, the player character will start hallucinating, which increases for every need being at their maximum. When the player character is refreshed however (not hungry, thirst or sleepy), he/she will continuously regenerate a minor amount of health. All settings, including the choice to have stat and/or attribute loss are configurable through OMOD installation and by editing the included ini file. The ini file includes the ability to modify a large amount of advanced settings.

Eating and drinking is done simply by selecting the food and drinks in the inventory. Additionally, eating and drinking hotkeys can be used (read below). Everything that can be eaten/drunk lowers hunger/thirst. However, non-food items (Goblin Eyes, Troll Fat, etc.) are less effective. Additionally, the player character can drink directly from wells, fountains and any wa
