Description

This is a hunger, thirst and sleep mod, making eating, drinking and sleeping a more immersive experience. It includes built-in language localization support for English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese (simplified). Read below for details on how to use it with HUD Status Bars.

When the player character does not eat, drink or sleep, he/she slowly suffers stat and attribute loss. In specific stat loss is linked as follows:
  • Hunger -> Health
  • Thirst -> Magicka
  • Sleep -> Fatigue

The affected attributes are Strength, Intelligence, Willpower, Agility, Speed, Endurance, Personality and Luck. The exact amount lost is based on many factors, like the tasks performed (higher when running, swimming, power attacking, etc.), encumbrance, weapon skills, weather conditions, etc. For example, the player character would become tired quickly when running around while carrying a lot of items and more thirsty when outdoors while the sun is shining brightly. Next to performing intensive tasks, also the player character's major skills and governing attributes affect hunger, thirst and sleep. The exact amounts however are dependant on the type of skills and their level.

If the player character is starving, dehydrated, or exhausted he/she will take damage for every need (hunger, thirst and sleep) being at their maximum. Next to losing health there are also negative effects associated with this. These are collapsing when starving, blurry vision when fully dehydrated and panting when fatiguing while exhausted. Additionally, the player character will start hallucinating, which increases for every need being at their maximum. When the player character is refreshed however (not hungry, thirst or sleepy), he/she will continuously regenerate a minor amount of health. All settings, including the choice to have stat and/or attribute loss are configurable through OMOD installation and by editing the included ini file. The ini file includes the ability to modify a large amount of advanced settings.

Eating and drinking is done simply by selecting the food and drinks in the inventory. Additionally, eating and drinking hotkeys can be used (read below). Everything that can be eaten/drunk lowers hunger/thirst. However, non-food items (Goblin Eyes, Troll Fat, etc.) are less effective. Additionally, the player character can drink directly from wells, fountains and any water found outdoors (rivers, lakes, etc.). Water found outdoors can contain a number of diseases and should therefore only be drunk as a last resort. This also counts for eating moldy and spoiled food. Werewolves are highly resistant to these diseases however. Hunger and thirst are considered the same for vampire characters and can only be satisfied by drinking blood. This can be accomplished through feeding, drinking the blood from recently killed npcs and by drinking blood stored in canteens. Recently killed npcs will have some blood in their inventory for a short period of time. Drinking this blood lowers hunger/thirst without affecting the vampire level.

Canteens have been added to keep the player character hydrated and can be purchased from merchants and found as loot in containers and from npcs. They work just like normal drinks, but have 3 uses before needing to be refilled. Canteens can be refilled at wells, fountains, huge barrels, kegs and blood fountains, simply by activating them (press spacebar). Wells and fountains provide water, huge barrels and kegs provide ale, beer, mead and wine and blood fountains provide blood. Blood is, next to feeding, the only method for vampire characters to recover from hunger and thirst. Feeding also refills any empty canteens with blood. If cows are available in-game (requires Mr_Siikas farm animals or MMM) canteens can be filled with milk and if Cobl is installed Water Barrels can provide water.

When it's raining the player character can fill his/her canteen(s) with rainwater and directly drink it, by looking up to the sky and activating the rain.

Eating and drinking hotkeys can be used to both select food from the inventory and directly from the gameworld (found on tables, etc.). An eating hotkey is created by hotkeying a knife, fork and/or spoon. A drinking hotkey is created by hotkeying any cups available in-game. If the player character is looking at any food (crosshair showing the food name), while pressing an eating/drinking hotkey, the food is automatically consumed. Where necessary (taverns, etc.) it's also automatically paid for. If the player character isn't looking at any food an item is selected from the inventory instead. Hotkeying cups, goblets and glasses will select a small amount from a canteen, while hotkeying mugs and tankards will select the whole contents from a canteen. Using the eating hotkey selects a random food item (scripted, quest and non-food items are ignored).

Drinking alcohol increases the amount of alcohol in the player character's body. When too much alcohol is drunk vision becomes blurred and muscle coordination impaired. However, drinking alcohol increases the tolerance to alcohol, which in turn allows the player character to drink more alcohol before experiencing any negative effects.

Just like canteens, coffee can be purchased from merchants and found as loot in containers and from npcs. Drinking coffee lowers the need for sleep, but is most effective when the player character is tired and has limited amount of caffeine in his/her body. It also has the added bonus of counteracting alcohol effects slightly. It does however make sleeping more difficult and therefore requires more time before becoming fully rested.

Water bottles can be found as lowerclass loot in the form of recycled alcohol bottles with various amounts of water. Like all water, these bottles can sometimes contain diseases.

Sleeping works just like normal (select bed, bedroll, etc.), but the amount of sleep required to become fully rested is based on both the sleeping conditions (bed type, in/outdoors, time of day, etc.) and the player character's sleeping habits. The player character builds up a sleeping history based on under what conditions he/she sleeps. The sleeping history is used to determine the player character's sleeping habits. For instance, often sleeping outdoors will make it easier to sleep outdoors, while often sleeping during the day will make it easier to sleep during the day, but harder to sleep at nighttime. This means that vampire characters and thieves should benefit most out of sleeping during the day, while other characters might prefer sleeping at nighttime. Vampire characters have the added bonus of being able to sleep in coffins. Additionally, the player character can set up a campsite (separate download) to provide a place to sleep when out in the wilderness.

Depending on under what conditions the player character sleeps (bed quality, location and duration), there's a small chance of contracting and/or recovering from a disease. When the player character has contracted any diseases he/she requires to drink more and sleep more to become fully rested.

Next to eating, drinking and sleeping, the player character's personal hygiene affects his/her disposition towards NPCs and creatures. This includes the use of bathtubs, soap and toilets.

This mod comes in 3 difficulty levels, each having an impact on the rarity of food and drinks in-game. For further details on this read chapter 4 of the included pdf readme file.

Compatibility

This mod is fully compatible with all time and attribute changing mods, like Running Revised, with sprinting, fatigue, configurable and ROM Revised Oblivion Mod. It's also compatible with all mods adding custom food and drinks and mods changing/adding cities, vendors and architecture like wells, kegs and barrels (including FCOM, Morroblivion, Cobl and Oblivion War Cry - New Dimension). As it does not modify anything in-game directly, like adding scripts to already existing objects, or turn them into activators, it should be compatibility with all other mods (including See You Sleep, Cobl and Let the People Drink).

It's recommended to install Bananasplit Better Cities for additional in-game water sources (fountains, etc.), Mr_Siikas farm animals (also included with Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul) for milking cows and FCOM, MMM or Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul for additional canteen spawn locations. For non-English versions DarNified UI is recommended to display long item names properly.

Basic Primary Needs includes its own vampire needs system. To use a 3rd party vampire mod either disable the built-in vampire needs, or integrate the vampire mod into Basic Primary Needs. To disable the built-in vampire needs simply edit the ini file by changing the BPN.ini_vampire_nothirst and BPN.ini_vampire_nosleep settings to 1.

3rd party vampire and werewolf mods can be fully integrated with Basic Primary Needs and this way display their needs using the built-in message system and HUD Status Bars. By default LTD-Vampire Overhaul (vampire mod) and Curse of Hircine - Resurrected (werewolf mod) are automatically supported if installed. Read chapter 3.4 of the included pdf ReadMe for further details on supporting other mods.

Requirements

No files will be replaced by installing this addon. It will however need OBSE (version 20 or higher) to function properly. No other third-party mods are required to be installed to run this mod. It's however recommended to use Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) to install and configure this mod.

Install

OMOD method: (recommended)
  • Start Oblivion Mod Manager
  • Click on "Create" to create a new OMOD
  • Click on "Add archive" and point to the downloaded (.7z) file
  • Click on "Create omod"
  • Double-click the name of the mod in the right-hand side of the OBMM screen
  • Answer the question(s) asked to customize it to your preferences
  • Optionally edit the .ini file to customize it to your preferences

Non-OMOD version:
  • Extract the files to a temporary location
  • Copy files to (install folder)OblivionData
  • Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file
  • Optionally edit the .ini file to customize it to your preferences

Uninstall

OMOD version:
  • Start Oblivion Mod Manager
  • Double-click the name of the mod in the right-hand side of the OBMM screen and click Yes

Non-OMOD version:
  • Start Oblivion Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file
  • Delete the Basic Primary Needs files in the Data folder

Note that savegames are saved without penalties to the player character. This mod can therefore be safely upgraded/uninstalled without any issues. Quicksaves however do include penalties and should therefore not be used after uninstalling!

HUD Status Bars

HUD Status Bars is a mod, which allows the player to have additional on-screen status bars, displaying the player character's hunger, thirst and sleep levels. It requires the OBSE MenuQue plugin to function properly. See chapter 6.5 of the pdf readme for a more advanced example.

Required variables: BPN.HUDhunger, BPN.HUDthirst and BPN.HUDsleep (range: 0 - 100)

Usage example (add to bottom of Hud Status Bars.ini):

set tnoHSB.hud_val to sv_Construct"BPN.HUDsleep"
set tnoHSB.hud_color to sv_Construct"HUDcolorRhubarb"
set tnoHSB.hud_max to sv_Construct"0"
set tnoHSB.hud_min to sv_Construct"100"
set tnoHSB.hud_x toHUDcompassCenter
set tnoHSB.hud_y toHUDcompassAbove
SetStage tnoHSB 10

set tnoHSB.hud_val to sv_Construct "BPN.HUDthirst"
set tnoHSB.hud_color to sv_Construct"HUDcolorCyan"
set tnoHSB.hud_max to sv_Construct"0"
set tnoHSB.hud_min to sv_Construct"100"
SetStage tnoHSB 10

set tnoHSB.hud_val to sv_Construct "BPN.HUDhunger"
set tnoHSB.hud_color to sv_Construct"HUDcolorLime"
set tnoHSB.hud_max to sv_Construct"0"
set tnoHSB.hud_min to sv_Construct"100"
SetStage tnoHSB 10


Note that setting hud_max to 0 means that the bars are empty when you're 100% hungry, thirsty and/or sleepy. If you would like to turn this around (full bars is max hungry, etc.) change hud_max to 100 and hud_min to 0. Replace HUDcompassAbove with HUDcompassBelow when using the Skyrim compass.

To see the amount of caffeine and alcohol the player character has in his/her body use the BPN.HUDcaffeine and BPN.HUDalcohol variables (range: 0 - 100), like:

set tnoHSB.hud_val to sv_Construct"BPN.HUDcaffeine"
set tnoHSB.hud_color to sv_Construct"HUDcolorBrown*(tnoHSB.val>0)"
set tnoHSB.hud_max to sv_Construct"100"
set tnoHSB.hud_min to sv_Construct"0"
SetStage tnoHSB 10

set tnoHSB.hud_val to sv_Construct"BPN.HUDalcohol"
set tnoHSB.hud_color to sv_Construct"HUDcolorYellow*(tnoHSB.val>0)"
set tnoHSB.hud_max to sv_Construct"100"
set tnoHSB.hud_min to sv_Construct"0"
SetStage tnoHSB 10


To see the contents when mouse-over drink sources, use something like:

set tnoHSB.hud_ref to sv_Construct "GetFormFromMod %qBasic Primary Needs.esp%q %q070B5A%q"
set tnoHSB.hud_name to sv_Construct"hud_ref"
set tnoHSB.hud_textDisplay toHUDtxtNoValue
set tnoHSB.hud_type to HUDtxtNoBar
set tnoHSB.hud_textPos_x to HUDtxtCenter
set tnoHSB.hud_textPos_y to HUDtxtCenter
set tnoHSB.hud_y to45
set tnoHSB.hud_x to50
set tnoHSB.hud_textTypetoHUDfontKingthings
set tnoHSB.hud_textSizeto16
set tnoHSB.hud_textShadowColor to sv_Construct"HUDcolorBlack"
SetStage tnoHSB 10

Licensing/Legal

You can do whatever you want with this mod but all I ask in return is that you give me credit if you distribute any part of this mod. However, the coffee mug used in this mod is a modified version of the one found in Sam Lakes Coffee Resource meshes and some food objects are from Eating Animations.
