Subtle and slow effect that keeps adding up as you play

• []TWEAK IT: Almost everything is configurable to your liking in the MCM. Don't like a feature? Disable it! Don't agree with the frequency of the stages? Tweak them!
  • []PLAYER GETS DIRTY/BLOODY: There are 4 stages of Dirt (and 4 equivalent stages of "dirt + blood"). Your character will become dirtier every about 2 days, probably faster if you get into combat often. Getting hurt in combat has a small chance to make you advance a stage.
    • []MOSTLY VISUAL, DOESN'T AFFECT GAMEPLAY: My mod is designed NOT to affect gameplay. There are only 2 exceptions: If you've reached stage 4 of the dirt/bloody level, you will get a 10% price increase when dealing with merchants. Equally, if you've taken the extra steps to be extremely clean (by a thorough washing), you will get a 10% price discount when buying from merchants. By default, it can take up to 12 days going from clean to this "extreme" dirt stage where merchants dislike you. (Let's say the Medieval-based world of Skyrim does not have today's standards of cleanliness). In practise, you will get dirtier quicker as you get hurt in battles. However, most likely you will get rid of the dirt without even realising. See next point :)
      • []GET CLEAN WITHOUT EVEN TRYING AS YOU PLAY: By default, taking a swim will wash most of the dirt and blood away. Standing in the rain also gets you clean, but it's not as effective as swimming. Lastly, if you wish to, you can use a "washing" ability, which will perform an animation and leave you very clean. By default, no soap or standing near water is needed to use this ability as I didn't want to add more elements into the game, but you can add a soap requirement via the MCM. Not adding a "stand in water" requirement as I want it to be compatible with custom showers and baths. Use the washing ability when you think it makes sense for your character.
        • []BLOOD ON NPCS: NPCs that get attacked either by the player or other NPCs also have a chance to get bloody. Completely compatible with Enhanced Blood Textures, which is actually recommended but not mandatory. All my effects on NPCs disappear after 7 IRL minutes. More on this in the performance section.

          []HAIR/BEARD GROW REMINDERS: As a bonus, there's an option to give you reminders to update your character's be
