Mod that makes hunger, thirst and sleep increase faster in hardcore mode.

[Bloblerg]

I always felt like hardcore mode never made the game feel hard enough because of how easy it is to deal with thirst, sleep and food in this game. They increase very slowly and finding water and food in this game is too easy.

A mod that makes that it so that these stats increase much faster would be nice. It would require you to sit by a campfire and occasionally cook some things to feed yourself. And you would need to try to find beds and take a nap for a few hours every day.
You would also have to drink water much often. Having to stop by vendors and stock up on them or stop by a lake or sink and drink water there instead.

Have you tried the mod "Harder Hardcore Rates"? (Number four in the 71 search results for "hard core" on Nexus Mods.)

These are controlled by the following Game Settings, which can all be changed in a Merge Patch [vanilla setting, JSUE, my personal preference]:

 

fHCStarvationRate [25, 12.5, 10]

fHCDehydrationRate [10, 5, 8]

fHCSleepDeprivationRate [50, 18, 10 and stages redefined up to 2400 instead of 1000]

fHCSleepRestorationMod [60, 35, 25]
