What does this mod do?

In Skyrim, the player passively regenerates health at all times, with a reduced rate during combat. This mod reduces passive health regeneration to zero and normalizes health regeneration in combat, which previously penalized the effectiveness of regeneration potions.

Are you also tired of your Magicka regeneration? I’ve already created a mod to address it too, but way more fancy. Scroll down to the recommendation section for more infos!

This mod uses SkyPatcher, to prevent compatibility issues with other mods.

Explanation

In Skyrim, the player always has a base health regeneration rate equal to 100% of their race’s default regeneration value (e.g., Nords regenerate 0. 7% of their maximum health per second). This scaling makes passive health regeneration quite strong, especially in the late game, where it can surpass the effectiveness of health potions. Enchantments, potions, and other regeneration sources stack on top of this base rate. For example, a potion that increases health regeneration by 20% would raise the total from 100% to 120%.

With this mod, passive health regeneration starts at 0%. Instead, potions and enchantments build from that baseline. A potion granting 20% health regeneration will now set your regeneration to 20%, rather than adding to an existing value. If you also have the Well Rested buff, which provides 10% health regeneration, your total regeneration would be 30%.

The default Combat Regeneration Multiplier is set to 70%, meaning that once you enter combat, your total health regeneration is reduced by 30%. This also makes enchantments and potions significantly less effective. With this mod, their full effect is preserved, making them more powerful than before.
