📋 About This Mod

UPDATE 1. 2: The fruit cake .nif had an improperly named file that was causing crashes for some. Hotfix available. (also, forgot to mention this, but you can plant the fruitcake on your enemies like a poison to damage their stamina/carry weight, like any responsible

grandmother)

  • []There are over 120+ new unique recipes, all lore-friendly.

    []Many of the recipes make big, bulk items (a whole ham, an entire cake, etc) that split into smaller portions you can eat or decorate with!

    [] You can give the smaller portions of the foods to your children (unless it contains alchohol)

    []You can also buy many of the new foods at inn vendors, but some you have to make yourself.

  • The textures for some things (the ceramic and silver bowls and many herbs) remap to your own textures for maximum customization potential.

    Compatible with CACO.

    If you use this to decorate your home (or anywhere else), I highly recommend using Jaxonz Positioner to move and lock them into place - otherwise you may have trouble with the collision.

    Also, if you use many mods that add foods to vendors/ingredients please use wrye bash or mator smash if the new items don't seem to show up often.

    I tried to add only items that hadn't been made in any mods before, and to add as few new ingredients as possible (because it's awkward to have 50 different recipe mods adding sugar). Therefor, most of the recipes utilize vanilla Skyrim, Dawnguard, or Solstheim ingredients, which gives you new justification for your ingredient-hoarding habit.

    You can use many of these new items in your house mods, but make sure to link back here and also to check the credits and permissions tabs and credit any models there that you use. Many of the new models were ones I made, but the resources I used generally require that you credit them if you use them.

    Requires all expansions.

    Special Thanks:

    EpicCrab for the split slices script.

    aulie/Elza for Melt in the Mouth, which I used on all the cakes!

    Everyone who make a request for a food item

    All the mod/model resource authors in the credits tab!
