Just Do It

An inventory-free way to use items

"A few times ago, I came back home from work and was a bit hungry. There was an apple on the table. So I ate the apple.

Then, I started to play Skyrim, as per usual. iNeed made my character hungry, just like I was a moment ago. There was an apple on the table. But I couldn't just eat the apple, I had to put it in my inventory first... Pretty dumb heh ? Well, I decided to make a mod about that."

Disclaimer : Despite the story above being about apples, this mod cover much more items. It would even work with banana (which are nothing like apples), if there was bananas in Skyrim.

Features

Press a hotkey to seamlessly enter an alternate mode, where you can instantly "use" items found in the world :

- Equip armors, clothing, weapons, etc...

- Eat food and drink beverages

- Consume potions

- Taste ingredients

- Apply poisons to your weapons

Only ingredients laying around, not those still hanging in tree or bush. You're a dovahkiin, not an animal, so behave like one !

Full support for crime when stealing, including prompt displayed as red-text (Still compatible with any UI/HUD mod).

Compatible with mods adding animations to items consumption.

Configurable hotkey via MCM (I know, nothing original here... but this mod page really looked empty).

Possibility to use toggle mode (No need to keep holding the hotkey). Keep in mind that scripts are running while the JDI mode is active.

Lightweight papyrus, scripts only runs when you press the hotkey. (Unless you use toggle mode and leave it ON)

Hotkey is L-Shift per default.

Known Issues

Small delay (~0. 3s) to update the UI prompt. (Still work fine even if you use the item before the UI update its display)

Some custom mod-added beverages might have the "Eat" prompt instead of "Drink" if they use custom sounds.

Some potions added by CACO cannot be used directly.
