Eat Well - Vanilla Plus Food Overhaul (compatible with Survival)

Small "Vanilla Plus" overhaul, replacing Food Fanatics with enhanced effects.

This mod sorts food into one of four categories; snacks, small meals, meals, or soups, and provides 24 minutes of specific strengthening effects for each category.

Snacks: Snacks like Sweetrolls will help you get the most out of your Magicka.

Small meals: Bread, small game, roasted vegetables, these small meals can maximize your energy.

Big Meals: With big game like venison, these meals can maximize your health.

Soups: These complex dishes increase your stamina and Magicka regeneration rate.

(Added complexity to potato soup and cabbage stew recipes to bring them in line with other soup types.)

There is also a fifth category, ingredients. These are the basic foods necessary for cooking. These restore a small amount of health just like vanilla.

To balance these new buffs, food weight has been increased, making it difficult to carry large amounts of food and keep buffs running 24/7. Your character may want to stop for a meal at an inn or player's home before starting the adventure. Each food is equally weighted to make it easier to categorize when using SkyUI.

survival mode

This mod was made with survival mode in mind, so the survival version has some changes to the hunger regeneration value.

HungerRestoreLarge: reduced from 380 to 280. This is the amount of hunger restored by all soups.

HungerRestoreMedium: reduced from 220 to 160. This is the amount of hunger restored by any large meal.

HungerRestoreSmall: increased from 18 to 60. This is the amount of hunger restored by all small meals and snacks.

HungerRestoreVerySmall: increased from 2 to 20. This is the amount of hunger restored by most ingredients. However, raw meat will restore the same hunger as cooked meat, allowing Argonians and Khajiit to benefit from the Raw Diet perk included in Survival Mode.

These changes encourage players to eat a balanced diet rather than carrying around a bag full of venison.

(Hot soup added via Survival Mode has been made consistent with regular soup.)

Both versions of the mod inherit the unofficial Skyrim Special Edition patch and modify the Meat Pie included in USSEP. Non-USSEP versions are available in optional downloads.

TL; DR

This mod removes realism and essentially turns food into Power Ups. I've had success with my "vanilla plus" game, but I feel like it's good enough for release.

——————————————————————————

This mod divides food into one of four categories; Snack, Small Meal, Large Meal or Soups and gives each category a specific fortify effect for 24 minutes.

Snacks: Treats such as Sweetrolls, these provide you with a boost to your maximum Magicka.

Small Meals: Bread, small game, grilled vegetables, these small meals provide you with a boost to your maximum Stamina.

Large Meals: Large game such as Venison, these meals provide you with a boost to your maximum Health.

Soups: These complex dishes provide a boost to your Stamina and Magicka regeneration rates.

(Recipes for Potato Soup and Cabbage Stew have been increased in complexity to bring them into line with the other soups.)

A 5th category, Ingredients, also exists. These are basic foods that are required to cook the meals. These restore a small amount of health as in vanilla.

To balance these new buffs food items have had their weights increased to make it harder to carry a huge stockpile of food and keep the buffs running 24/7. Your character will likely want to stop off at an inn or player home for a meal before setting out on an adventure. Each category of food has had their weights equalized to allow for easier sorting when using SkyUI.

Survival Mode

This mod was made with Survival Mode in mind, and as such the Survival version has some changes to the hunger restore values.

HungerRestoreLarge: Lowered from 380 to 280. This is the amount of hunger restored by all Soups.

HungerRestoreMedium: Lowered from 220 to 160. This is the amount of hunger restored by all La …
