About this mod
This is a simple needs mod where your needs have a higher impact in case you neglect them. It also includes an optional feature that adds drug (skooma and sleeping tree sap) effect and dependency.
It aims to add immersion to the game, forcing the player to buy or hunt for food and water, otherwise they will suffer a really slow death.

This is my first script mod. I decided to create it because, for some reason, I tried three needs mods and none of them worked. And what a better way to learn scripting mod other than writing a need mod?
I always found food and drinks on Skyrim useless, why waste money and carry them when they only add a few insignificant benefits? Why sleep if you can go n numbers of days in a roll awake doing quest. The worst you will need is wait a few hours till a shop opens.
This mod aims to fix it while bringing immersion to the game.

OPTIONAL ADD-ON
Impacting Needs - DLC
Compatibility patch for all Bethesda's DLCs.
Impacting Needs - Drugs
Drugs visual effects and addiction. You can also produce skooma in an alchemy lab (nightshade + moon sugar). Use the potion to start cooking, it will take a few game hours and must wait for them get read before starting another production (or you will lose the previous progress). Improves their beneficial effect (skooma increases carry weight by 100 for 30min but have severe addiction withdrawn, and sleeping tree sap increases magicka, health and stamina regen by 300% for 15min, but addicition withdrawn will make you slower).
COMPATIBILITY
It is most likely to have compatibility issues with other mods that change foods, beverage, alchemy activemagiceffects and ingredients.

KNOWN ISSUES
Fast travels and waiting only triggers need progression of 1 hour. (Which can be good if you only use fast travel when your are in hurry and/or only use wait for cell respawn).
Visual effects have an abrupt ending.
Sometimes withdrawn visual effect stage doesn't match withdrawn penalties stage.
PERMISSIONS
You are free to do whatever you want with this mod (just give my fair share of credits).
I don't have time to update the mod, so if anyone wants to take over feel free to do so.
I would love to see new lore-friendly drugs added to the game.
