📋 About This Mod
Have you ever picked a bush of mountain flowers only to realize you only got one measly flower?
You might have reasoned that you’ve got a bundle of flowers to keep your immersion intact but still.
“NO MORE!” I say! Let’s put an end to the mountain flower’s tyranny over our harvested ingredients!
From now on your plants (and creatures soon) will be more reasonable and grant you an actually useful amount of ingredients that is a lot more coherent with what you actually see ingame.
This is a complete rewrite of the immensely popular Harvest Overhaul by Omletter for the original Skyrim.
No code has been copied over from the original mod or the Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul mod by kryptopyr.
Both mods have served as reference and inspiration for this mod, nothing more.
1. 0 is finally here.
Yes, it has only taken a few years, I know ...
The main features are:
An Installer, an MCM Menu (and an optional configuration book for users without SkyUI) to configure how much you want this mod's features to affect your gameplay experience, the Hunter's Discipline Perk now affects harvested ingredients from creatures/animals as well as an option to remove all treasures like gold from creatures that were previously not touched by this mod. Check the full changelog for all the information on this version.
If you want to know about the future of this mod, please check the Post section.
Features:
- Increased base drops for almost every harvestable plant in the game (except Nirnroot)
- Chance to get additional ingredients per single harvest
- Also includes chaurus eggs, spider eggs and some more!
- Fully integrated Green Thumb perk!
- Optional creatures plugin that changes all ingredient amounts obtained by creatures and animals.
Planned Features:
(no ETA on any of those)- Additional plugin that let's you harvest human flesh/hearts from NPCs. For all you cannibals and vampires out there ;)
Thanks to /u/Exaltation_of_Larks for the idea!
As I am no longer actively developing this mod, this feature will not be added any time soon.
As of now Harvest Overhaul Redone is ONLY available on the Nexus! If you find it anywhere else it was stolen. Please report it and make me aware of it! Thank you!
(The onlHarvest Overhaul Redone increases the base amount of ingredients gathered from plants and adds a random chance for extra items, addressing the frustration of getting only one flower from a bush. It's a simple quality-of-life mod for Skyrim players who want more alchemy ingredients without overhauling the entire system.
