📋 About This Mod
Continued support for modification iNeed - Food Water and Sleep with the permission of its author -> isoku
It's a standalone mod! Does not require installation of old versions!
Do not play with the iNeed mod in Survival mode!
And you must also understand that not all players have compatibility problems; it all depends on your ability to install mods, patches and follow the correct order of loading them.
Mods iNeed, Wet and Cold and Frostfall were once created to bring elements of Survival into the vanilla game, then Skyrim Anniversary Edition was created and in it the Survival mode, which now uses other, modified scenarios, but to the same functions "thirst", "hunger", "rest", etc. We will consider these mods incompatible. No one will create compatibility patches, these mods essentially overlap in 90% of the features.
Addons
Integrated: iNeed - Extended and iNeed - Dangerous Diseases
Supported: Wet and Cold , Frostfall , Campfire , Hunterborn SE , CACO + all known food and drink mods (automatic recognition).
This mod gives you additional features depending on the other parts of the mod you have installed.
Due to the release of the mod update, I also want to remind you that updating the mod must be done correctly: deactivate iNeed mod in MCM menu, save your game, exit the game, uninstall old version iNeed, install the new version, check that your mods load in the correct order (this is important!), start the game, load last save, wait without going to the MCM menu until iNeed is updated ( after the operation is completed, the mod will inform you that the update is complete ), activate iNeed mod in MCM menu, check your settings in MCM menu, save game and continued playing.
In some cases, you will need to delete one of the embedded scripts from the save. You can learn more about this operation from the message pinned in Discussion.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 11,088 endorsements and 437k downloads.
- Actively updated—last touched September 2025, so it's likely compatible with current AE patches.
- Hardcore survival mechanics that actually make you plan your trips and manage resources.
⚠️ Cons
- Hardcore needs system might be too punishing for casual players who just want to explore.
- No explicit mention of compatibility with other survival mods—potential conflicts if you run Frostfall or similar.
For Skyrim players who want a deeper survival experience and don't mind micromanaging food, water, and sleep. Perfect for immersion-focused playthroughs, especially with mods like Frostfall. Skip if you prefer a more casual, action-oriented game without survival mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a needs mod, make sure to grab food and water before heading into dungeons—hunger and thirst debuffs can cripple you.
- Check the mod page for any patches if you use other survival mods like Frostfall or Campfire to avoid conflicts.
- If you're playing with the Russian translation, ensure your game language is set correctly or the text might not display properly.
