📋 About This Mod
Very small mod that gives you the ability to use your Flame Atronach and Flame Thrall as heat sources when using Survival Mode Improved by colinswrath. I got the idea from wSkeever's mod that does the same thing from Sunhelm, and after freezing to death in the mod collection Gate to Sovenguard by Jayserpa!
As of 2. 0 the Flame Cloak spell should also add warmth! This has proven harder to implement than originally thought, and must be rethought!
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with just about everything as long as it doesn't change the form id for the flame atronach and thrall!
Honorary Mentions:
Survival Mode Resist Cold Frost Logic: Allows frost/cold Resistance to help with warmth and adds the Flame Cloak to warmth protection as well!
Move for Warmth: Allows you to get warmed up by moving around!
Special thanks to:
colinswrath for Survival Mode Improved
wSkeever for Sunhelm Magical Heat Sources
Jayserpa for Gate to Sovenguard and general inspiration and the push to start mod.
