📋 About This Mod
Season and region specific food for innkeepers and merchants. Now with Base Object Swapper ini as well, rebalancing food spawning in the world, with a touch of regional awareness.
For more drinks variety check Seasonal Drinks.
Go to Markarth in the fall for a slice of mutton, visit Windhelm in the winter for a snowberry tart, go to Rorikstead for a fresh wheel of cheese... You get the idea.

[]Vegetables and fruit is more rare in the winter, and dried/cured meat is more common than freshly cooked.
[
]The fall is where it's at for most vegetables, as well as a lot of meats - to have less chickens to feed in the coming winter.[]Spring is a safer time for most hunters (they stay away from cats though), as well as a good time for farmers to gather milk and eggs.
[]Summer has some specific crops ready to be sold, and honey is common.
Granted that there is always a small chance to find some leftovers from the previous season, and some items are pretty common year-round.
Hold capitals are more likely to have more food, more elaborate food, and even rare drinks.
Villages have some regional specificity depending on their location too.
While the goal isn't to starve anyone, finding food in the winter should be a bit more difficult, especially in small villages.
Compatibility notes
MUST be loaded after EVERY other CACO dependent mod/patch.
Because it changes container and leveled list records, removing=rearranging default and/or added items.
Mods editing food merchants' inventory (such as MerchantMarkarthSilverFishInnChest, etc) would require a patch.
Mods editing leveled lists (such as LItemFoodInnCommon, etc) would require a patch.
Mods adding new inns/merchants will most likely have the seasonal loot automatically, but without regional additions.
For example, Old Hroldan offers juniper berry crostatas in the fall, but if you add an inn in Karthwasten, it won't do that by default, that would require a patch.
However as long as the new inn uses vanilla leveled lists for food (most mods do), common food will be seasonal even without an extra patch.
Load Seasonal Foods AFTER Interesting NPCs, MihailMods' Rustic Weapons, Trade and Barter, Requiem, etc.
Consult SSEEdit for further compatibility information.
You can request patches, but I can not in all honesty guarantee every request granted. Hopefully you understand.
If it a small mod, I am more likely to patch it. If it a massive mod, and I am not using it myself, I probably won't be patching it.
