🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Simple Carcass Spoilage System makes carcasses in your inventory, containers, horses, or dropped on the ground rot over time based on type. It's a lightweight immersion mod for survival and hunter players, requiring three mods to function. No vanilla edits, so compatibility is broad.

✨ Key Features

Carcasses spoil over time based on type, affecting inventory, containers, horses, followers, and NPCs.
Spoilage starts only after the player has had the carcass in their inventory at least once.
Requires Alchemy of Time, Simple Hunting Overhaul, and Immersive Death Cycle to work.
Optional support for Description Framework and Immersive Equipment Displays with a preset for humans and horses.
No vanilla edits, ensuring compatibility with other mods.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Adds a nice survival layer for hunters—you'll actually plan trips instead of hoarding carcasses.
  • Works with all containers and NPCs, so it's not just a player-only gimmick.
  • No vanilla edits means it's safe to run alongside other mods without conflicts.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires three other mods to function, so it's not a standalone drop-in—you'll need to install the whole package.
  • Only 99 endorsements, so it's a niche pick; you might be the only one in your modlist using it.
  • No custom models yet, so spoiled carcasses probably look the same as fresh ones—immersion hit for some.
🎯 Is This For You?
For survival-focused players who want a reason to sell or butcher carcasses quickly. Hunters who use Simple Hunting Overhaul will get the most out of this. Skip if you're not into inventory management or don't want to juggle extra dependencies.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have all three required mods installed before adding this one, or it won't work at all.
  • If you use Immersive Equipment Displays, grab the preset from the mod page to avoid visual glitches with horses.
  • Test with a single carcass first to see the spoil timer—it's based on in-game time, so wait a few days to see the effect.
