Wild Concoctions - Skills of the Wild and Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul Patch

Wild Concoctions is a conflict resolution and consistency patch for Skills of the Wild and Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul. ESL-flagged ESP.

There are different versions of Wild Concoctions for the different versions of Skills of the Wild. Please ensure you download the appropriate file for the version of Skills of the Wild you are using.

Wild Concoctions 2. 0, for Skills of the Wild 2. 0

The book "Cooking with Moon Sugar" from CACO will give SOTW cooking experience, like other cookbooks in the game.

CACO's item conversion recipes (such as turning Salt Piles into Salt and vice versa) will not give cooking experience.

The "Cycle of Life" perk from SOTW's "Art of the Hunt" skill tree no longer grants the "Unusual Harvest" power, to avoid the player being able to harvest dead people twice by using this ability after CACO's method of harvesting from dead people. The player can still pay their respects at graves or ashes created with the "Prepare for Burial" power as normal.

INSTALLATION, REQUIREMENTS, AND COMPATIBILITY

Install and load Wild Concoctions after Skills of the Wild and CACO, and allow Wild Concoctions to overwrite "_HHH_UnusualTaste_Script.pex".

Wild Concoctions 2. 0 does not require any patching for mods that alter food or adjust cooking recipes. Mods that add new cookbooks to the list of books that add cooking experience, or new foods to the list of items that don't add cooking experience, would need a patch.

Wild Concoctions 2. 0 has no additional requirements other than CACO, SOTW, and their requirements. You do not need Hunterborn for this version of Wild Concoctions.

Wild Concoctions 1. 0. 6, for Skills of the Wild 1. 10 | Wild Concoctions ≤1. 0. 5, for Skills of the Wild ≤1. 02

The only difference between Wild Concoctions 1. 0. 6 and 1. 0. 5 is that 1. 0. 6 supports the ESL-flagged 1. 10 update to SOTW, whereas Wild Concoctions 1. 0. 5 supports the earlier non-ESL-flagged versions of SOTW.

FEATURES

Progressing through the SOTW "Culinary Arts" skill tree will unlock access to increasingly complex recipes from the vanilla game, Hunterborn, and CACO. As some recipes are significantly different with the addition of CACO, the perks required to access them will sometimes be different from the standard SOTW requirements. In particular, the recipes available through the Exotic Meals perks have been moved around a bit, with Exotic Meals 1 enabling recipes that use ingredients from other provinces or from monsters (such as chaurus and spiders), and Exotic Meals 2 enabling recipes that use ingredients from legendary creatures (i.e. dragons) or from people.

CACO's cooking skill/experience can be left enabled if desired, and leveli
