📋 About This Mod
Introduction
Do you have Jayserpa's amazing "Dirt and Blood" in your modlist? (you should!) Are you more concerned about your Dragonborn's hygienic state than your own, but you still want your game to be immersive so don't want cleaning to be too easy?
Well, you are in luck!
This mod expands the functionality of Dirt and Blood. It makes your ability to clean yourself more restricted, but at the same time gives you plenty of options to bypass that restriction 'immersively' so you can make sure your character still go to bed clean and fresh after being covered in dirt and blood.
Features
Restrictions
1) You now need water to clean yourself.
-
[]Uses PO3's universal water detection
2) Cleaning without soap is not as effective, and you won't get squeaky clean without a soap (Optional, but recommended).
- [
More Options
1) You now have 6 more soaps that give you a small buff for a while!
-
[]Functionality of the buff is the same as that of "Keep it Clean" or "More Soaps for Dirt and Blood".
2) If there is no water nearby, stay clean with washcloth!
- [
[]Washcloth allows you to wash yourself without a body of water, but the good smell is not as strong and it will fade faster (less/shorter buff).
3) Use water in your inventory to clean yourself with Sunhelm or iNeed! (Now with LastSeed and RND too!)
-
[]With Sunhelm and iNeed, you don't need to craft washcloth. Just having some water and a piece of clean cloth is enough to use your soap. This will clean your body all the way, but the buff will be less powerful.
[]Or just use water and clean cloth to scrub yourself without soap. You won't be as clean though.
4) Manage your dirty laundry!
-
[]Using washcloth or clean cloth to wash yourself will give you back dirty cloth.
[]You can wash the dirty cloth by clicking on them in your inventory while standing in water.
[]Or you can boil them to clean them using a cooking pot!
Chose Your Own Experience
1) Use the full version to enjoy the intended mod experience as explained above.
