📋 About This Mod

So what does MOFADreborn do?

1) Diverse Food Effects!  I have diversified the food effects that stack! Foods can range anywhere from a 3% to 12% regeneration buff.  Foods will have multiple effects, including Fortify effects. Apple Dumplings, boost your Restoration Skill.

2) New food Recipes! Like Seared Bear Meat, Stuffed Gourd, or Seared Wolf Ribs. As well as new soups and stews. Some recipes were missing cooking options, like Seared Rat Mat.  You can now make cheese and break them into wedges.

3) Almost all food ingredients have a use. Carrots have been incorporated into different recipes. Salt's been removed as a necessity from some ingredients as well. Frost Miriam and those other household hanging plants, such as Elves Ear, have a use in your cooking (like they should).

4) Hearthfire Integration. All new foods and foods introduced from Hearthfire have been incorporated into the food lists for Inns and Taverns.

Survival Mode Patch, requires Survival Mode Improved. There is no reason to "not" be using this mod.
