About
As you use or take damage to your health, stamina, and magicka, their total values will become damaged.
Therefore, a long day of dungeon delving and fighting might need to be followed up with some rest. Your damage is healed as you sleep, and the total stat damage will only go as low as the limit is set in the ini (50% by default).
As mentioned above, there is an ini included for customization of settings, as well as a simple esp that allows the mod to utilize the status bar UI added by Survival Mode.
PLEASE READ
There is an esp included in this mod which adds 3 globals and spoofs Survival Mode, so the plugin can make use of Survival Mode's UI bars.
This means that it enables sleep to level up and arrow weight by virtue.
If you do not want those extra features, but you want this plugin to use the Survival Mode UI stat bars, then the only alternative is to use Survival Control Panel (Survival Control Panel) to toggle off the features you do not want.
Compatibility
- Survival Mode - Incremental Injuries "replaces" survival mode and it utilizes the status bars that the CC Survival Mode usually would.
- SunHelm- SunHelm also spoofs survival mode. But they should work fine together if you load Incremental Injuries after SunHelm.
- TrueHUD - Incremental Injuries technically works fine with TrueHUD, but it changes which globals are tied to the stat bar penalties. TrueHUD does not reflect these changes, so the penalty on the bar will not show (it works fine with the vanilla bars).
New Papyrus Functions
Alongside this damage system, Incremental Injuries implements a few new native Papyrus functions.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 438 endorsements and over 18k downloads.
- Offers a fresh injury mechanic that's distinct from typical damage systems.
- Lightweight SKSE plugin – no heavy scripts or dependencies.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or SKSE updates.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter health or damage mechanics.
- Limited description – unclear exactly what effects injuries have, so you'll need to test in-game.
For Skyrim players who want a more punishing damage system that adds long-term consequences to combat. If you're tired of just chugging potions and want injuries to matter, this is for you. Skip if you prefer simple, vanilla-style combat or don't want to deal with SKSE dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest SKSE64 installed and that your Skyrim version matches the SKSE version.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle installation and load order.
- Test the mod in a new save or after a clean save to avoid conflicts with existing injury mods.
