Hunger?

[Meowcat99]

After playing fallout 3 for awhile and loving the realism mods they had and was wondering if oblivion had some good ones?

 

I've already gotten the "OOO" mod and I love it, but I notice unlike fallout 3 it does not have any form of hunger mods...

 

Where there just not many made, I noticed a small hand full on the site but they didn't seem that popular and didn't look like they had been supported for a long time...

 

I've been browsing the site for a long time now and decided I would just check here in-case there was one made that I may of overlooked or didn't find due to it's name(tried many forms of hunger/hungry).

Cobl has a few options for added realism like hunger and thirst. I know there are some other mods that will do the same thing, but I do not know the names of them.

I've seen the Cobl mod(which apparently adds new ingredients, books, beers and such.), as well as a vim and vigor(A mod that has hunger, thirst, and sleep requirements) that suppose to work with it. I'm just wondering if it will cause conflicts with OOO.

COBL is definitely not incompatible with OOO. Even the OOO-Cobl patch included in COBL is only to merge the two mods' ingredient lists. However, COBL is nowhere near the first mod I would come up with when thinking about hunger mods. It provides extended capabilities for some, but I do not think of it as providing a hunger realism modification itself.

COBL is the glue that makes survival mods work. In addition, I run the following:

Real Hunger [you need to eat]

FF Real Thirst (+FF Real Thirst COBL) [you need to drink]

Realistic Fatigue [fatigue REALLY matters]

Real Sleep Extended [you need to sleep]

Realistic Health [more immersion than anything]

 

I also used to use the Bathing Mod, but found it was not really adding anything to my game.

Second all of Elric's choices except Real Hunger... those are the ones I use, as well. I'm a big fan of Natural Hunger instead because it lets you eat foods directly from your inventory.

 

There's another popular hunger mod that depends on COBL (it may be Real Hunger, not sure) and it works by adding a "Dinner Plate" that you click on and eat the food from there. I used that for awhile, but got rid of it because IMHO there's nothing stupider than being out in a wilderness campsite, needing to eat something before falling into my bedroll, and... opening my pack to pull out a dinner plate! Uh, yeah. That gives me images of also tying a little napkin around my neck and using a fork and knife. In my wilderness campsite. I don't think so. Also, the "dinner plate" concept doesn't work so well when it's 6am or suppertime.

 

In general I just always found the dinner plate to be really dumb-sounding, and it ruined my immersion, so I switched hunger mods. Natural Hunger lets you eat whatever you want without limiting you to whatever happens to be on your yummy dinner plate (gag). I know it's just a name for the interface COBL uses... but the whole point of immersion mods is that you don't WANT to "play pretend" and just ignore things in the game that you think are dumb. If I wanted to ignore that stuff I wouldn't use a hunger mod to begin with.

I use this mod:

It's worth the time to figure out the two(!) .ini files. Very, very configurable. The only problem with it is, the marksman is bugged. You have the option to set how fast your fatigue drains when drawing a bow, but it doesn't work in the game. Your fatigue drains the standard amount, which can be huge overkill depending on how you have it set. So if you want to learn Marksman from the Novice level, you're kind of screwed. If you just choose it as a major skill the issue is moot.

 

It also has no thirst option, if that matters to you.

 

 

It also does not conflict with this mod:

This mod has changed my game in certain heavy combat situations. No longer will you run at nearly the same speed as the train of bandits chasing you.

Real Hunger for COBL uses the dinner plate. I like that tip about Natural Hunger. I hope it does not have any bugs...
