Overview
Bathing in Skyrim adds bathing and cleanliness to Skyrim. Over time, your character will become visually more filthy and you will receive a penalty to your Speechcraft and disease resistance. If you become exceptionally filthy, you will also receive a penalty to Sneak as enemies smell you coming. To avoid these penalties, you will need to bathe yourself regularly. Staying clean also awards small bonuses depending on what type of soap you use
Bathing in Skyrim is a simple immersion mod that lets your character bathe in any water source across Skyrim. With over 14,000 endorsements and 440,000 downloads, it's a community favorite for roleplayers seeking a touch of realism. Last updated in 2016, it remains a staple for those who enjoy life-sim elements.
