About this mod Machine translation
The stamina system within Skyrim has been overhauled and related attributes, skills and values have been rebalanced to create a more realistic and challenging experience for players. ISM is lightweight and completely script-free, forcing players to play as they would in the game, and is designed to work with the most popular mods.
ISM - Immersive Endurance Management
This mod is a complete overhaul of my first mod - Cardio SE.
I've had a lot of requests from people to be added to the mod that I decided to start over. This is the final result.
What does it do?
The fatigue fatigue mechanism is introduced into the game to make the game more challenging, realistic and strategic.
Just like it does in real life, you can no longer navigate around hacks, slashes, and fireballs in Skyrim. Things will become more difficult and tiring. These are the added features:-
- Heart - Endurance is slowly depleted while running.
- Tiredness - Once stamina drops below a certain threshold, health, magic, and stamina regeneration are moderately reduced.
- Exhaustion - Once stamina is completely depleted, health, magic, and stamina regeneration are severely reduced.
- Supremacy - Once Stamina's base value exceeds 100, when it regenerates beyond this value, players will gain accelerated health, magic and stamina regeneration. Once the base value exceeds 200, Health, Magicka, etc. will be amplified. It's capped at 600.
5.Conditioning-Same as Supremacy, once the base endurance exceeds 100 and the current value is also higher than this value, the player will gain 5 points of physical skill defense (two-handed, interception, archery, one-handed, heavy armor and light armor). The load capacity limit has also been strengthened by 20 points. These are lost when Stamina drops back below 100.
- Weakened Skills - When you run or sprint, your stamina is depleted. This drainage also applies to your physical skill set (Hands, Archery, etc.), so when your stamina is depleted, you gradually become less effective in each area, up to a maximum of 12 points (Hands and Heavy Armor) and a maximum of 10 points for other skills.
- Structure Carrying Weight - Carrying weight starting value reduced from 300 to 130 in vanilla settings.
As your stamina decreases so does your carryweight. The more your stamina drains, the less you can carry without getting bogged down. Once blocked, you can no longer escape. However, the speed of accelerated walking has been increased, so walking instead of dropping your items is a more viable option.
- Resting or walking restores stamina - If an athlete stops running, walking or stops resting, stamina will immediately begin to regenerate. The amount of stamina left behind will directly affect the rate or rate of this regeneration.
- Speed adjustment - Running speed and sprinting speed have been adjusted to be slower to make them more realistic. Walking is now an absolute necessity to effectively manage fatigue levels as vanilla meta is too slow and walking speeds up.
NPCs now walk at the same speed as players, although variables such as height and race still exist.
Khajiit now run, sprint and sneak faster than other races.
Argentines swim faster than all other races.
- Heavyweight bonus removed - The 5-point heavyweight bonus received after each endurance upgrade has been removed.
- Sprint Stamina Reduced - The stamina cost of sprinting has been reduced to prevent the accumulation of exhaust effects when running and make sprinting more useful.
Mod suggestions and configuration suggestions
I highly recommend the following mods to compliment ISM:-

At MCM I recommend you:-
Disable health-based regeneration.
Slow is disabled at 0 stamina.

Your stamina bar is now visible a lot of the time. Use Gopher's neat mod to adjust transparency.

Isoku's Fantastic Needs mod is perfect for ISM. I designed this mod to work with I Need. For example, if you have low stamina, are …
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
