Primary Needs (Realism – Food and Water)

---

Primary Needs
Description:-

Can’t think of why Bethesda remove Fallout New Vegas Primary Needs feature. Ever since I try to replicate a much simpler version for the moment until the CK arrived, maybe there’s a lot of expert modders out there can overhaul the primary needs system.

So as for now, all foods and water in the game will no longer restore HP. But you’ll need it to survive the commonwealth!

To activate this mod, simply eat/drink any food/water as what I did is make the Player addicted to them. (Seems kinda logic right?). The food/water will last about 5 hours and then the penalties will kick in.

Currently what have been changed so far:-

Made changes to each type of foods and drinks (No HP restoration anymore)
Used Spell –> Addiction(Penalty) when Thirsty or Hungry
Used Magic Effect –> Well Fed or Hydrated
Penalties added:-
Hungry [S-2][P-1][E-3][C][I-1][A-2][L]

Thirsty [S-1][P-3][E-3][C][I-1][A-3][L]

Potentially possible features:-

– Add Sleep derivation
– Add some new bonuses
– Detailed Fullness
– Full
– Glutton
– Starving
– Detailed Hydration
– Detailed Nutrition
– Proteins
– Calories
– Fibers
– Malnutrition
– Penalty applied accordingly as time goes on

Tools Used:-

FO4Edit 3.1.3:

Recommended Mods:-

These are the mods which I highly recommend to improve the realism experience playing at survival difficulty
(Makes the game a whole lot more challenging and much more real!!)

Fallout Loot Overhaul

Better Locational Damage

Time Scale and Fast Travel Adjustment – I personally use timescale 6

More Spawns – Medium Version for me

Longer Area Respawn

Compatibility:-

Will conflict with mods that change the food and drinks values.

Installation:-

Add this row under the [Archive] section of your Fallout4.ini:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

Remove everything from sResourceDataDirsFinal:
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

I recommend installing through the Nexus Mod Manager.

With Nexus Mod Manager (NMM):
Download the mod by clicking “Download with manager”.

Manual installation:
Manually download the .zip file containing the mod.

Open the .zip using a file archiver.

Extract the ProperStoreAnimation.esp into the Data folder (not in any subfolder) of your Fallout 4 installation.

Open plugins.txt (located in C:\Users\-username-\AppData\Fallout4) and add the name of the .esp files you chose to the list.

Uninstall:-

With Nexus Mod Manager (NMM):
Deactivate the mod by double-clicking it.
Mark the deactived mod and uninstall or delete it.

Manual uninstall:
Remove all files associated with the mod from your Data folder.

Remove the name of the .esp files you used from plugins.txt.

P/S: Before I make this mod, I’ve been using Hunger and Thirst mod but when I found out the mod contains some dirty edits, I decided to fix that and make my own version.
