This mod should be at the bottom of your load order, just in case any other mods change consumables.
Personally, I don’t like all the extra additions to the survival mode. For me it makes it so much more limiting for roleplay. This mod introduces an alternative to Survival Mode, it simply adds the need to Eat, Drink, and Sleep which increases immersion and actually gives meaning to all that useless food sitting around.
To activate this mod, loot the “Simple Survival Activator” From the “Simple Survival” chest outside of Vault 111 at the start of the game, the chest can be found across from the button that opens up the vault. Looting this activator adds a perk to your character called “Simple Survival” that adds Debuffs to your character when you have not recently Slept, Drank, or Eaten. After using the Bottle Activator you can refill empty bottles at water sources.
- Hunger: -1 Endurance, -2 Strength, -25 Health Points
- Thirst: -1 Intelligence, -2 Perception, -25 Action Points
- Exhaustion: -1 Agility, -2 Charisma, -25 Carry Weight
Whenever these debuffs are added, you will recieve a popup message informing you of your need of Food, Drink, or Sleep. All Foods and Drinks last for different periods of time ranging from 10 real time minutes, to 30 real time minutes depending on rarity, and weight. Food that you craft lasts the longest, and “Ice Cold” Drinks last the longest with of course Purified Water being the best option out of all drinks. Cannibalism also works to sate Hunger for a short period of time. Exhaustion works off of the “Well Rested” and “Lover’s Embrace” Experience bonus perks you get from sleeping in a unowned bed. These last for 1 hour and when these perks wear off from your character you will recieve the Exhaustion debuffs.
Limbs no longer regenerate magically, you can use a stimpak or see a doctor to have a injured limb mended.
Rad Infections can be contracted through consuming Raw or Irradiated Foods & Drinks
- Rad Infection: -25 Action Points, -25 Carry Weight, -2 Charisma
These infections last for 4 in game days, or are healed by a Radpak crafted at the Chem station under HEALING - Radpak: 2 RadX, 1 Stimpak
