Creating Manias

[Adolon]

My goal was to create a mod that added Perks to the game that involved manias. For example, I thought it would be interesting to have a character that needs to talk to someone every couple hours or their stats would decrease. I got the idea from the UPP Beverage Perks Pack by TheFakeEmpire with the Alcoholic and Aquaholic Perks.

 

I don't really know where to start. I had some other ideas after the talking Perk (I dubbed it Socialite): another that involved needing to kill a human ever so often. I thought manias would add something really interesting to the game, a lot like the realism mods people have made. Also, the Perks would have levels, requiring the player to indulge in their mania/addiction more frequently.

 

How would I go about doing this? Any help would be appreciated.
