Simple food overhaul

A simple mod that makes Skyrim's vanilla food and drink more useful by granting minor but persistent buffs to the player's stats.

The purpose of simple food overhaul is to make food and drinks more useful. Consuming food will give the player a small but lasting buff, similar to how buff food works in many MMORPGs. These buffs are generally less effective than potions, but last longer.

Simple Food Overhaul is a lightweight, scriptless mod that should be compatible with any mod that doesn't edit vanilla food and drink items.

This mod affects all food and drink items in the base game + DLC except raw meat/fish and some "ingredient" type items (such as butter and flour). Most foods will enhance the player's health, stamina, or magic regeneration, and add auxiliary buffs such as increased weight, enhanced destruction, etc.

Generally speaking, the more difficult it is to obtain an item, the stronger its effect. For example, the Mammoth Steak gives the player a stronger buff than the Rabbit Belt.

This is the first version of this mod. Some things may be unbalanced and/or unstable. If you have suggestions or find inconsistencies, please let me know.

Install:

Use Mod Manager to install or manually extract the contents of the .7z file into the /Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder.

Uninstall:

When uninstalling, it is recommended to revert to an old save file from before installing the mod to ensure that the uninstall does not cause any problems (for more information, see: Mods_and_Savegames).

However, since the mod only edits the item's statistics and doesn't use any scripts, you can just fine uninstall it during playback. I recommend that you make sure there are no active food lovers when uninstalling the mod. Do so at your own risk. It's always recommended to revert to an earlier save instead if possible.

compatibility:

Simple Food Overhaul should be compatible with any mod that does not alter vanilla food and drink. Food and drink items added by other mods are not affected by my mod's changes.

The mod affects all of the food & drink items in the base game + DLCs, with the exception of raw meat/raw fish and a few "ingredient"-type items such as butter and flour. Most food items buff the player's health, stamina or magicka regeneration and add a secondary buff such as increased carry weight, fortified Destruction etc.

Generally speaking, the more difficult to obtain an item is, the stronger its effect. For example, a Mammoth Steak will give the player a stronger buff than a Rabbit Haunch.
