📋 About This Mod

Short Description:

This is a simple mod that allows the player to give food items to beggars, instead of just gold coins.

Only have ONE main file in your load order at a time.

More Detailed Description:

This just adds an additional dialogue option to select for any beggar, if you have at least one give-able food item. Once chosen, you be shown a gift menu (meaning, a menu where you can only give items) where you can give as many food items as you wish. If you give the beggar at least one item of food, you'll be given the Gift of Charity and the beggar will now be your friend if he/she was not before. If you exit the menu without giving any food items, you will not receive the Gift of Charity, and the relationship rank the beggar has towards you will not change.

Requirements:

- Skyrim.esm

- Update.esm

- Dawnguard.esm

- Hearthfires.esm

- Dragonborn.esm

Compatibility:

This is compatible with everything. No original game records were altered.

Question: Does this replace the gold coin option?

Answer: No. You can still give gold coins if you want to. This just adds an additional option to give food.

Question: I'm talking to a beggar but I'm not getting the dialogue option to give him/her food, why?

Answer: Make sure you have at least one food item to give the beggar. The dialogue option won't show up if you don't have any food.

Question: Will this option still appear for followers, spouses, or adopted children?

Answer: No.

Question: Why are the dialogue responses voiced in English when my Skyrim uses a different language?

Answer: This is because I edited the original response into two separate ones using the audio files that came with my version of Skyrim. See the Localisation/Translation section further down for more information.

Question: Why do some beggars not give voiced responses?

Answer: That's because only beggar voice types from vanilla Skyrim have been given voiced dialogue responses. These are: FemaleChild, FemaleCoward, MaleCommonerAccented, MaleCoward, MaleDrunk, and MaleEvenToned.

Question: Does giving food give me the Gift of Charity effect?

Answer: Yes. If you give the beggar at least one item of food, you'll be given the Gift of Charity.

  • Lightweight and focused — does one thing and does it well.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
  • Check if your Skyrim SE version is still supported — the mod hasn't been updated since April 2022, so if you're on a newer patch, test it early.
  • Load order shouldn't matter much, but place it after other mods that affect beggar AI or dialogue to avoid conflicts.
