📋 About This Mod
What is this?
Survival Control Panel allows you to customize engine-level features that were added to the game for the Survival Mode update. These features are used by the official Survival Mode add-on, as well as mods like The Frozen North and SunHelm. You can enable or disable features such as Sleep to Level Up, Arrow Weight, or Lockpick Weight, regardless of whether you use a survival mod. It can also be used to assign Warmth values to your armors and cloaks for Survival Mode or mods that use the Warmth system, making it an excellent companion for them.
This mod also serves as an API for mod authors, providing Papyrus functions that mods can use to control Survival features.
Mod Configuration
Survival Mode Features
Here you can control each of the native Survival Mode features that would normally be controlled by the Survival Mode toggle. Each of them have the same options:
Default - Allow this feature to be controlled by mods (or Survival Mode toggle).
Always Enabled - Enable this feature regardless of mods.
Always Disabled - Disable this feature regardless of mods.
These Survival Mode features are available:
HUD Indicators - Shows the Temperature Level, Cold Penalty (Health), Hunger Penalty (Stamina), and Sleep Penalty (Magicka) HUD elements. Note that these have no effect unless a mod actually makes use of them.
Inventory UI - Shows warmth values in item cards and the bottom bar, as well as any descriptions that only show up when Survival Mode is enabled. Note that SkyUI's item cards and bottom bar do not support these, so you will need a mod such as SkyUI - Survival Mode Integration to make them show up. Custom themes for SkyUI may also not support them.
Sleep to Level Up - Prevents leveling up until you sleep.
Arrow Weight - Allows arrows to have weight (normally 0. 1).
Lockpick Weight - Allows lockpicks to have weight (normally 0. 1).
Survival Mode Patches
These are additional features that are not originally present in Survival Mode. They are enabled by default.
Enable Frostfall Keywords - Items from mods that make use of Frostfall's keyword system will be assigned warmth values based on them.
Enable Cloak Warmth - Cloaks (armor worn in slot 46) will have warmth values. This can be further customized on the following pages.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 13,439 endorsements and 3.1M downloads

- Framework design means modders can build on it for deeper customization
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates
- No detailed documentation provided, so figuring out all options might take trial and error

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's forum posts for community-made patches or compatibility notes with other survival mods.
- Since it doesn't require Survival Mode, you can test its features in a vanilla save first.
