PokemonButcher Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hello, I have found that having to pick a consumable up and then use it by accessing it in the inventory immediately after without any signs of movement that anything has been consumed to be inconvenient and immersion-breaking. To remedy this, there could be a mod that provides a secondary option when interacting with consumables in the environment, one that is the regular "take/steal" another being "consume". This concept existed in a mod that somebody made called, "Eating Off the Floor", in Fallout 4---however, they stopped supporting it before the script extender was updated. Essentially, the "consume" option on a targeted consumable (potion, food/drink, ingredient) would cause the item to be used the moment it enters one's inventory or bypassing the inventory altogether. A problem that was encountered in "Eating Off the Floor" was that it wasn't made apparent which consumables had to be stolen in order to be consumed. Perhaps the text could be in red, just as the "steal" text is red? As far as eating/drinking animations are concerned, there are precious few mods that grant this. If arm and facial animations were executed immediately following the "consume" option being selected, this would serve to further solidify the sense that something is actually being consumed. If anybody has any other ideas how such a mod could be implemented or if you are interested in attempting it, please feel free to share. I am currently learning the basics of modding in creation kit, python, and C++, so I have a ways yet to go. Even if it takes a while, I would like to attempt to implement this. All the best.

wackoj94 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) You're right, I'm surprised this isn't already a thing. I'd definitely utilise a mod like this. It really reminds of this mod which has a similar effect for books, among other quality of life improvement mods such as Quick Loot.

PokemonButcher Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 In the interim, I found this mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41171It just so happens to fulfill most all of the features for which I was looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyrimSloot Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Did you ever find a mod for this or if you can bring a mod like eating off the floor into Skyrim? I've recently started looking around with no luck, and I have no experience in making mods myself otherwise i'd give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokemonButcher Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Did you ever find a mod for this or if you can bring a mod like eating off the floor into Skyrim? I've recently started looking around with no luck, and I have no experience in making mods myself otherwise i'd give it a shot. Well, there is a very good collection of eating / drinking animations available now, here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42602And, as of last week, this mod was posted: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/45058However, I have not tried using them in combination yet!If you or anyone else would like to try, go right ahead. They might conflict, but they might not conflict! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
