📋 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.
