📋 About This Mod

Mead mead mead. Would it kill them to get some milk now and then? (Stupid bees and their stupid honey...) Now with an updated version! --Hearthfires version on the way!-- (Standard version is still compatible, it just uses its own milk and changes goat drop list.) It is a mystery how anyone in Skyrim stays hydrated when all they have available is alcohol. That\'s like putting out fire with MORE FIRE. If your character doesn\'t like alcohol, is trying to recover from an addiction, or is just a plain ol\' milkdrinker, wouldn\'t it be nice to have something else to drink? Or perhaps you are a bosmer, following the Green Pact. You aren\'t allowed to eat or use anything derived from plants, so meat is where it is at. Where are your own culture\'s classic fermented drinks? HERE THEY ARE. Innkeepers will now (occassionally!) sell these (you milkdrinkin\' wuss) but this mod adds several drinks you can make yourself or find in the wild. All drinks are made at a standard crafting pot using vanilla resources so NO MODS NEEDED! Drinks that are non-alcoholic do not come with a stamina regeneration debuff. ======REQUIRES===== Skyrim. No mods, no DLC, no scripts! ======INSTALLATION===== Same as other basic mods. Plop the .esp in your data folder, and enable at your launcher. Then enjoy! BUT WAIT, there\'s four files in here? Choose one! DftT.esp: The standard version, with full content. DftT-WTLS.esp: What\'s that, you say? You use weightless ingredient/food mods and now these things are weighing you down? BEHOLD! All the drinks (and any added ingredients/foods) are now WEIGHTLESS. DftT-NoGreenPact: Not a bosmer? Disgusted by the idea of fermenting meats and milk into so-called \'forest friendly wines\'? Pish-posh! Use this version. DftT-NGP-WTLS: None of the bosmeri drinks, AND it is all weightless! =====WHAT THIS MOD DOES====== 1> Fixes special drinks Cliff Racer, Velvet LeChance, White-Gold Tower and Cyrodilic Brandy so they appear as drinks in the food section (and not under potions, wut) 2> Several new drinks added, obtained primarily through crafting (innkeepers will sometimes have some of the stronger stuff, though the bosmeri drinks are usually only bought from Drunken Huntsman). All drinks restore stamina, some will restore slightly less stamina in return for other properties depending on drink type. All crafted drinks are at a cooking pot (so you don\'t need Hearthfire\'s oven). Alcoholic drinks will have the standard debuff to stamina regeneration (which I see as inebriation) - any non-alcoholic drinks will not have this. 3> Modifies the on-death drop list for cows and goats to drop milk (goats and cows themselves are unchanged) ======DRINKS AND HOW TO GET THEM===== (Ingredient) Coffee Grounds ---bought: commonly Khajiit merchants ---bought: rarely alchemists Apple Cider ---crafted: 3 green apples Slightly alcoholic: mild stamina debuff finally a use for green apples!
