Krazyman999 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I would like a reason to eat in Skyrim, I seem to live on potions that I steal. Everyone in Skyrim has tons of potions, I'd like them to be rare to force people to eat food. Also making people have to agonise over using the potions more, putting in more effort to get them or spend more cash, having to grind to accumulate potions. Food... The food in Skyrim is all over the place, having to eat an inventory full of food to just survive a mudcrab fight. Food Alterations... Health, Magic, Stamina... Food should have a value that is in keeping with its size and how well its cooked. Raw food... Not good for most races, 50% chance of negative effect. ( I know this has been done.) Shelf life... Food should have a shelf life to prevent food hoarding. Raw... 3 days. (this would include travel times to a location) Cooked... 5 to 14 days. (you'd have a reason to hunt) Vegetables... 7 to 14 days. Cookery Perk tree... The difference between being able to cook an Egg or a meal, more advanced receipes being unlocked at higher levels. Level 1... Basic foods (boiled and fried only) Level 2... More advanced (basic recipes, 2 ingredients) Level 3... More advanced (basic recipes, 3 ingredients) Etc... Level 10... Extremely advanced, high level foods Offshoot perks on perk tree... Storage Level 1... Add 1 day to shelf life Level 2... Add 2 days to shelf life Level 3... Add 3 days to shelf life (Etc... up to 7 days extra shelf life) Offshoot perk on perk tree... Potion Level 1... Allows you to mix 1 potion with your food Level 2... Allows you to mix 2 potions with your food Health, Magic and Stamina points for eating food would have to be done in percentages, as 30 health points for food is no good when your health is 300. ( I currently use a mod that does this, albeit too weakly to be of any real use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigen1111 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Maybe this? Realistic Needs and Diseases http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26228/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazyman999 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah! I've seen, but not used this mod. It looks totally hardcore, I'll probably try it eventually, I was planning to use those type of mods on my eventual second playthrough, which is still a long way away. The mod I was wanting was less hardcore, just an alternative to living off stolen potions, with a cookery perk tree added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazyman999 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I have found another mod, which is similar to Realistic needs and diseases. Imps more complex needs http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10639/? This seems to take a slightly different route to the Realistic needs and diseases, making it more realistic with calories, proteins, fat, weight gain and muscle gain in future editions, fatigue, blood for vampires. Food will spoil if enabled, raw meat will make you probably ill, riding a horse combats some fatigue ( finally a use for a horse other than a modded, walking cupboard, Aka Convenient Horses mod http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14950/? This mod seems to tick most of the boxes I wanted for my mod, only thing that I think is missing is a cooking perk tree... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...
