📋 About This Mod
Patches iNeed Continued and Eating Animation and Sounds SE so that rather then just eating bread, followers will eat what they're actually consuming.
I love iNeed but it always bothered me that followers did a weird co-ordinated bread eating animation no matter what they were actually consuming. This just patches iNeed - Food Water and Sleep - Continued to use the animations from Eating Animations and Sounds SE when followers are eating or drinking. You give them skooma, you'll now see them drinking skooma when they're thirsty. You'll need to have follower needs enabled to see the animations.
Modded foods won't use the animations, I might look at patching some of them at some point but this was just fixing a personal pet peeve.
This doesnt affect player animations for well.... anything. It also won't affect regular NPC animations, the only thing is changes is the synchronised bread eating routine that followers using iNeed do.
Thanks to Bectile and purplejelly for testing.
