Fast Eating Drinking and Sleeping

No 2 second wait between one food and the next, or one drink and the next. Potions too. Sleeping takes about half a second instead of about 5, and you still get the Well Rested buff.

In the normal game, after you eat something you have to wait 2 seconds before the next food goes down. Press the slot again in that time and nothing happens. Drinks work the same way, and potions share the drink wait (the stamina potion has its own). It is not an animation, just a cooldown. When you are low on food and water and want to eat three things, that adds up. Sleeping is the same story on a smaller scale: from lying down to standing up at dawn takes about 5 seconds.

What it does

• []No wait between foods: eat one after another as fast as you press the key.[/]

  []No wait between drinks: same for drinks.[/]

  []Potions included: potions lose their wait too (you can turn this part off).[/]

  []All of them: 217 foods, drinks and potions. Stacks you pick up later are covered too.[/]

  []Fast sleep: lie down in your bed and you are up at dawn about half a second later, instead of about 5 seconds.[/]

Two steaks, back to back: the second press came about half a second after the first, and both went down (10 steaks to 8, food 44 to 84).

What stays the same

• []Food still fills you up and drinks still quench your thirst, the same amount as before.[/]

  []Potion effects still apply.[/]

  []Sleeping still takes you to dawn, and the Well Rested buff still comes on after the fast sleep, the same as in the normal game.[/]

Sleeping

This is the HUD shortly after a fast sleep, at dawn. The game shows Well Rested as a sunrise icon with a timer bar in your status list; the gold labels on the picture are mine.

Settings

All in Mod Menu (Esc > MODS > Fast Eating & Sleeping), or in config.txt in the mod folder. Mod Menu is optional. All five are on/off switches, and changes need a game restart:

• []Enabled: on by default. Off leaves the game exactly as it shipped.[/]

  []Fast eating and drinking: on by default. Removes the 2 second wait between foods and between drinks.[/]

  []Include potions: on by default. Potions lose their wait too.[/]

  []Fast sleep: on by default. About half a second instead of about 5.[/]

  []Detailed log: off by default. Writes a line to UE4SS.log for every item it changed.[/]

Install

• []Install UE4SS for RSDragonwilds (linked under Requirements).[/]

  []Drop the FastEatSleep folder into RSDragonwilds/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/[/]

  []Optional: install Mod Menu to flip the switches in game (Esc > MODS > Fast Eating & Sleeping). Without it, edit config.txt.[/]

On Game Pass: use the BE version of UE4SS with the SCO signature, the normal build does not load there. Game Pass also installs the game under Binaries/WinGDK/ instead of Binaries/Win64/, so the FastEatSleep folder goes in RSDragonwilds/Binaries/WinGDK/ue4ss/Mods/. If you install with Vortex, check that is where it ended up.

To uninstall, delete the FastEatSleep folder. The game is back to normal on the next start.

Good to know

[]Your saves are not touched. The mod changes the game's settings in memory each time you play, nothing is written to your world or character. Remove it and everything is vanilla again.[/]

[]Fast eating kicks in about 40 seconds after you load into a world. Food and drinks keep the normal wait until then. It checks once more at 2 minutes to catch anything that loaded late. Fast sleep is set as soon as the game starts.[/]
