📋 About This Mod

INTRODUCTION

This mod will bring a little immersion when eating ingredients and applying poisons. Different animations will play based on the ingredient eaten or poison applied and the corresponding models will appear on the player's hands during the animations.

REQUIREMENTS

- Immersive Interactions - Animated Actions

- Dynamic Animation Replacer OR Open Animation Replacer

- Immersive Equipment Displays

- Keyword Item Distributor (KID): To add keywords to the ingredients in order to play the correct animations.

Optional:

- Offset Movement Animation: Highly recommended. Allows to play the animations while sitting, on horseback and moving or sneaking.

- PapyrusUtil SE: To change the IED configs for specific ingredients and poison bottles.

Ingredients

Adds new animations when eating ingredients:

P. S.: Animations can play while sitting or riding a horse:

Poisons

Adds a new animation when applying poisons:

P. S.: Applying poisons to bows or crossbows will poison the equipped arrow or bolt instead:

Q: Why use Immersive Interactions as a requirement?

A: It's a great mod and already adds all that's needed for this mod to work. Plus I don't need to create a new .esp just for this. If you're looking for a standalone mod, you should definitely check out Animated Poisons and/or Animated Ingredients.

Q: Limitations?

A: Some items may not match 100% the animations. Poison bottles will have their cork attached, no way of removing it with just IED.

Q: First person?

A: Version 1. 2 and onwards includes first person animations. An animation for applying poisons and a simple animation for  eating ingredients. To display some of the ingredient's models, install this mod: First Person Interactions.

As IED doesn't work in first person, poison and ingredient models need to be manually created.

Q: I don't want the animation to play for certain items?

A: Add the keyword AR_IgnoreObject to the items by using Keyword Item Distributor.

Q: What about this ingredient/poison?

A: Leave a comment, I might patch it later.

✨ Key Features

Adds new animations for eating ingredients and applying poisons.
Supports all ingredients and poisons from vanilla game and DLCs/CCs.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust (3,061 endorsements) and massive adoption (1.5M downloads).
  • Covers every ingredient and poison from vanilla plus DLC/CC – no gaps.
  • Tight integration with Immersive Interactions, so it feels like a natural extension.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Immersive Interactions – not standalone, so you need that mod first.
  • Last updated April 2025 – could break with future Skyrim updates or new CC content.
  • Only affects eating and poison animations – if you want broader immersion, look elsewhere.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who already use Immersive Interactions and want to flesh out alchemy-related actions. If you're into roleplay and hate the default instant-eating animation, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Immersive Interactions or don't care about animation polish.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure Immersive Interactions is installed and active before adding this mod – load order matters.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting conflicts with other animation mods.
  • Test in third person to see the new animations clearly – first person may not show them.
