Creation Club - Better Survival Mode (English)

Survival Mode is a Creation that introduces a new gameplay mode for Skyrim Special Edition. It was released for PC through Steam beta on September 28, 2017 and became available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on October 4, 2017. It was free for the first week of release and now costs 500 CC Credits to purchase.

This Creation works well in conjunction with the Camping and Adventurer's Backpack Creations, which help alleviate some of the difficulties in Survival Mode.

In Survival Mode, your greatest adversary is Skyrim itself. Unrelenting cold, harsh wilderness, famine and fatigue - do you have the strength to endure? (Creation features new gameplay mode including new UI, and can be turned on or off in Settings menu. For details, consult Help Menu. If you start a new character, Survival mode does not enable until after you leave character generation.)

The penalties for fatigue and hunger have been changed as follows:
