📋 About This Mod
Food Size Scaling uses the scaling function of Base Object Swapper (BOS) to allow you to resize food items to the specific size that suits you best.
Main Files:
- []Food Size Scaling:
But, the idea is that this mod should be used as a framework for you to customise the result to your specific mod list and esthetic preference. Thus it is expected, but not required, that you edit the _SWAP.ini file to your liking. You can do this by opening the 'Food Size Scaling _SWAP.ini' file with any text editor to make changes to the scaling options as detailed below:
Each item is covered by a line similar to this example: FoodApple|scale(1. 0)
To scale the apple down to 75% of its original size you simply adjust the scaling parameter as follows: FoodApple|scale(0. 75)
To scale the apple up to 150% of its original size you adjust the scaling parameter as follows: FoodApple|scale(1. 5)
- []Food Size Scaling - Randomised Scale:
Just like with the other Main File you can edit these values yourself by opening the 'Food Size Scaling - Randomised Scale _SWAP.ini' file with any text editor to make changes to the scaling options as detailed below:
Each item is covered by a line similar to the following example, scaling all Apples randomly between 60-80%: FoodApple|scale(0. 6/0. 8)
If you would prefer apples to scale between 80-120% as, an example, you simply change the line as follows: FoodApple|scale(0. 8/1. 2)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No ESP means zero load order headaches and no plugin conflicts.
- Works with any vanilla replacer, so you can mix and match without breaking things.
- Solid community trust with 198 endorsements and nearly 7k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects food sizes—if you wanted other object scaling, this isn't it.
- Requires Base Object Swapper, so you need to grab that dependency first.
- Since it's mesh-based, it might not play nice with mods that overhaul food meshes entirely.
For Skyrim players who want more realistic or varied food sizes without adding a plugin. If you're into immersion tweaks and already use Base Object Swapper, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you don't care about food proportions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod.
- Since there's no ESP, you don't need to worry about load order—just install and play.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other mesh mods.
