    PECIALIZATION

    Each farm has a unique feel, and careful attention has been given to the farmer's backstory to make the farms feel like a natural, lore-friendly extension to vanilla. A farm may specialize in wheat production, dairy products, baking, livestock breeding, small game hunting, apple orchards, regional crops, etc. Harvestable crates and barrels, hanging crops and new work areas -- along with a small amount of clutter -- have been added to farms to emphasize their specialty.

    Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (CACO) is a hard requirement. The main purposes of this mod is to integrate the CACO food and ingredients into the Skyrim world. You will find CACO onions, cabbages, peas and blueberries growing on farms. Cooking oil, vinegar, seasoning and sugar have been placed inside farm houses. Vanilla foods and ingredients which lacked planted options in vanilla (such as apples, garlic, frost mirriam, elves ear and tomatoes) have been added and distributed to farms. All crops have been marked as owned, and taking them is stealing.
