📋 About This Mod
Skyrim Food Expansion is undoubtedly the best food mods in terms of diversity and addons, but I found the replacer version to be over-extended a bit when it came to changes that it made. So I made this plugin replacer to address a few things
-
[]All names and food types adjusted to be back to how they are in vanilla (i.e no lamb ribs, hopias, gouda etc)
[
]Added diversity to Gourds, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Apples, Bread, Cabbages, Garlic and Carrots via Model Swapper, thus not having to deal with duplicate recipes and inventory spam[]Forwarded Survival mode keywords
[]Made a version for Simonrim users integrating Gourmet and Apothecary changes
- Only Rare Curios patch from the original patch hub is required/useful, others are redundant or probably won't work
I recommend the following mods to get full coverage:
Cabbage - a cabbage mod
Garlic - a garlic mod
Kabu's Gourd replacer (choose singular version, any option except butternut, delete or disable the esp)
Installation instructions:
Install Skyrim Food Expansion (2k version recommended).
In the FOMOD, select replacer, select the spit if you want it (I recommend it), do NOT select the C. I. D file, DO select "yes" for the Artichoke and Sweetroll since my mod replaces the plugin (if you select no, you will have extra redundant plugins).
Install this mod and load after so that the ESP is replaced.

- Small but active community (52 endorsements) shows it's got a following.
⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who use Skyrim Food Expansion and want its replacer version to blend better with vanilla visuals. Also for modders who appreciate subtle model swaps for variety. Skip if you don't use Skyrim Food Expansion or prefer a complete overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this after Skyrim Food Expansion so it overwrites correctly.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle file conflicts easily.
- If you use other food texture mods, test in-game to ensure the model swapper doesn't override them unexpectedly.
