📋 About This Mod
This is a simple KID file to add support for CACO and SUD to Stress and Fear by Jayserpa. I added the names for all of the new food and drink from Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul to the file so they will now relieve stress.
Without this patch a bottle of Alto Wine that is full (4/4 servings) will not relieve stress, only the almost empty (1/4 servings) would. I also added the foods; the more cooking experience needed to make a food, the more stress it relieves. If you are a master chef, you don't need to be an alcoholic or drug addict to deal with stress! I also added the new drinks from Skyrim Unique Drinks to the file. If you don't use this, it won't hurt your game.
Added support for the following CACO Patches:

This is a compatibility patch for Skyrim that adds support for ingestibles from Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (CACO) and Skyrim Underground (SUD). It requires at least one of those mods, and you don't need both. With 123 endorsements and over 10,000 downloads, it's a niche but useful patch for players using those mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid track record with 123 endorsements and over 10k downloads
- Doesn't force you to install both mods—just one is enough
- Fills a real gap if you run CACO or SUD and want their items to work with stress/fear mechanics
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal—only useful if you already use CACO or SUD
- No detailed description of exactly which items are patched
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter the same ingestibles
For Skyrim players who use Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul or Skyrim Underground and want their new ingestibles to interact with stress and fear systems. Skip if you don't use those mods—this patch won't do anything for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have at least CACO or SUD installed before adding this patch, or it won't have anything to patch.
- Load this patch after the main mods in your load order to ensure it overrides correctly.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
