📋 About This Mod

Immersive Diseases 2. 0 is a full visual and behavioral upgrade to the original Immersive Diseases mod, designed to make illness in Skyrim feel visceral and visible.

  • []OAR Animations for Each Disease - Every disease now comes with its own Open Animation Replacer (OAR) set. Illness affects how you move, not just your stats.[/]

    []Seamless Visuals via RaceMenu Overlays - No more clunky effect shaders. Diseases now use RaceMenu overlays for clean, slot-aware visuals that blend naturally with skin, dirt, and blood.[/]

    []Performance Friendly - there is a single script that applies the overlays when a disease is contracted, no cloak spells, no polling scripts. If your system can handle warpaint and a tattoo, it can handle this.[/]

    []No Vanilla Edits - No diseases have been changed, this mod works by using a spell with conditioned effects, when you contract a disease, the effect is applied.[/]

    []Compatible with Blood Mods - Works flawlessly with Dirt and Blood. You can be bloody and diseased—overlays won’t conflict or overwrite.[/]

    []Compatible with Dirt Mods - Fully supports Bathing in Skyrim and as far as I know, any other dirt mods. The effects will stack, so you can get diseased, dirty and bloody all at the same time.[/]

    []Includes optional ESL if you would like to use these as normal racemenu overlays in character creation - There are 11 face paints, body paints, hand paints and feet paints[/]

    []Includes NPC Support via SPID - By default, only the player will use these overlays, however if you wish to add any NPC, you can either target them in the crosshair and use the MCM option, or simply install the SPID file provided in the FOMOD.[/]

    []Optional Animations for Afflicted Refugees[/]

    []Full beast race support[/]
