Diverse Foods - Better Integration and Gourmet Extension (Model Swapper - SkyPatcher)

DESCRIPTION

Diverse Foods is a nice addon to diversify vanilla ingredients and add a few new ingredients to Skyrim without being too much, but they were not as integrated into the game as I wanted, so I put together this small mod to suit my needs.

This mod does two separate things:

1. It simplifies the integration of Diverse Foods' variants for vanilla ingredients via Model Swapper instead of having multiple different items (potatoes, apples, etc.). Can be used without the Gourmet Extension in the installer.

2. It offers a full integration of the new ingredients (pears, pumpkins, etc.) into Gourmet - A Cooking Overhaul's framework with proper distribution and 10 new recipes.

1. Better integration

REQUIRES

• [] Model Swapper

  Model Swapper is used to swap the new models for vanilla ingredients, so that they're not new ingredients in your inventory, incompatible with recipes. In game, you'll see all the models for apples, potatoes, carrots, cabbages, garlic, meatpie and bread in the world, but they're actually the same vanilla ingredients, 100% compatible with everything. The only downside is that the inventory model remains vanilla.

  The second model of pear is also model-swapped (after being BOSed) so that only one ingredient is placed in the world.

  The original Base Object Swapper file is trimmed down accordingly, to keep the scale variations and distribute only the new ingredients. You'll also have slightly more chances to find them. If you want to keep the regional bread distribution and its plugin, there's an option in the installer for you (all the breads will still be separate items, but it's not a problem as it's usually not an ingredient for recipes).

  The recipes from Diverse Foods' plugin (duplicates of vanilla recipes with the new apples, potatoes, etc.) won't show in your game as they're conditioned to appear only if you have the ingredients, which you won't find anywhere anymore. You'll use the vanilla recipes instead.

  2. Gourmet Extension

  REQUIRES

  • []The ESL-flagged version of Diverse Foods

    []Gourmet - A Cooking Overhaul

    []SkyPatcher (with iAllowLeveledListsAddedToContainers=1 in its INI file where it's disabled by default, and LeveledList Crash Fix)

    This module offers a full integration of the new ingredients into Gourmet: turnips, onions, oranges, pears and pumpkins.

    []Adds proper keywords and effects from Gourmet (don't use any other patch for Gourmet, it will be redundant).

    []Adds proper integration to Leveled Lists via SkyPa
