📋 About This Mod

Add 13 Teas, Coffee, Poultice and new Brews to the game, made with local Skyrim ingredients. When consumed, the drinks grants buffs to the user. If you have the mod Eating Animations and Sounds SE installed, drinking will automatically play animations. If you have the mod Stress and Fear - A Dynamic Sanity System, every time you drink, your stress will decrease or increase. If you have the mod Skypatcher installed, they will automatically be added to the Level List. If you have the original (CC Survival) mod or another variants in the nexus, the teas and the coffee will give a Fortify Warmth. The mod was designed to synergize with the mod Gourmet, but it does not require it to work. The mod is flagged as ESL and doesn’t count toward your load order. All integrations are handled externally using KID and Skypatcher. Everything is ready and beautiful, just install and enjoy your new brews.

TEAS

Teas are, in one form or another, common across nearly every culture. Depending on the herb, plant, or blend used, they grant the user a deep sense of relaxation, clearing the mind and easing mental fatigue. The drink also slightly decreases the user's stress.

Mountain Red Flower Tea, Mountain Blue Flower Tea, Mountain Purple Flower Tea, Lavander Tea, Frost Mirriam Tea, Elven Ear Tea, Canis Root Tea, Dragons Tongue Tea, Garlic Tea and HoneyComb Tea = +25% Magicka Regenaration for 600 seconds and +25 Fortify Warmth for 600 seconds.

Mountain Harmony Tea, Goldhive Tea and Elvenroot Tea = +50% Magicka Regenaration for 1200 seconds and and +50 Fortify Warmth for 1200 seconds.

ELSWEYR COFFEE

Coffee is not typical of the Skyrim region, but thanks to the Khajiit caravans, we now have access to this delicacy. Elsweyr Coffee is an energizing drink that cannot be crafted and can only be purchased from caravans. It grants the user +50% Stamina regeneration for 600 seconds and +25 Fortify Warmth for 600 seconds, but slightly increases the user's stress.

HERBAL POULTICE

Poultices are ancient mixtures common to nearly every culture, usually made from clay and medicinal herbs applied directly to the skin.

Healing Poutice A mixture applied directly to the wound, imbued with regenerative properties, though its effects will leave you physically and mentally exhausted. Health regeneration for 120 seconds, but they will also drain both Stamina and Magicka for 120 seconds and increases the user's stress.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use Eating Animations and Sounds SE, make sure it's installed before this mod to get the drinking animations.
  • For Skypatcher integration, ensure Skypatcher is active and let it handle level list additions automatically.
  • Since the mod is ESL, you can place it anywhere in your load order, but keep it after any mods that alter the same ingredients.
