Description

This is a mod making the player character's personal hygiene affect his/her disposition towards NPCs and creatures. 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 (highly recommended).

The player character becomes dirtier over time and at an increasing rate depending on his/her actions (fighting, swimming in a sewer, etc.). In specific, body parts are individually tracked and together combine to his/her overall hygiene level. The hygiene level is used to determine if the player character suffers a penalty to his/her personality when dirty or receive a small bonus when being sufficiently clean. When being too smelly, he/she will also become easier to detect when sneaking and can even contract diseases. The tracked body parts are the feet, calves, thighs, torso, arms and head and become more or less dirty depending on the player character's actions (walking through water for instance will only get your feet more dirty or clean).

Rain, fountains, wells, baths and any other water will affect the player character's hygiene level in some way. Washing with soap will improve this. Baths are by default not available in-game, but can, just like soap, be purchased from most merchants selling miscellaneous items. The type of items sold is based on the npc's social status. These items can also be bought in Shivering Isles, if installed. Some of the merchants selling these items are:

  • Ahjazda (Things Found in Crucible in New Sheoth)
  • Batul gra-Sharob (refugee camp outside Kvatch)
  • Borba gra-Uzgash (Borba's Goods and Stores in Cheydinhal)
  • Dredhwen (The Wastrel's Purse in Passwall)
  • Elsynia (Best Goods and Guarantees in Leyawiin)
  • Etira Moslin (Moslin's Dry Goods in Hackdirt)
  • Gundalas (Best Goods and Guarantees in Leyawiin)
  • Gunder (Colovian Traders in Skingrad)
  • Jensine (Jensine’s “Good as New” Merchandise in the Market District of the Imperial City)
  • Maenlorn (The Flowing Bowl in Anvil)
  • Nilawen (The Fair Deal in Bravil)
  • Norbert Lelles (Lelles' Quality Merchandise on the dockside of Anvil)
  • Nordinor (The Fair Deal in Bravil)
  • Seed Neeus (Northern Goods and Trade in Chorrol)
  • Sergius Verus (Three Brothers Trade Goods in the Market District of the Imperial City)
  • Shady Sam (outside the Imperial City walls, about 100m northeast of the Chestnut Handy Stables)
  • Suurootan (Novaroma in Bruma)
  • Tertullian Verus (Three Brothers Trade Goods in the Market District of the Imperial City)
  • Thoronir (The Copious Coinpurse in the Market District of the Imperial City)
  • Tilse Areleth (Common Treasures in Bliss in New Sheoth)

Washing is done by creating a hotkey to any soap in the player character's inventory. Use this hotkey while standing in rain or any other water (lake, bathtub, etc.). To wash at a well or fountain, use the hotkey while looking at the water source. Some water however is very dirty and can make the player character dirtier, rather than cleaner. Washing can't be done while swimming, although the water will still affect the body in some way.

To place a bath, hotkey a bathtub deed. Using the hotkey will place an empty bath, which is considered a marker. Use the deed again to place the bath somewhere else, or target the bath to remove the bath. When activating the bath (press spacebar) the bath is filled with water, the deed removed and is permanently added to the game world. From then onwards the bath can be used to keep yourself clean. Washing in a bath can be accomplished by either standing or sitting in the bath (both are fully animated) and use the washing hotkey. A placed bathtub can be removed by power attacking it.

Note that placing bathtubs near npcs will result in them also taking baths. Just like the player character they'll get undressed before and dressed after to avoid getting their clothes wet.

Outhouses and indoor toilets can, just like bathtubs and soap, be purchased from the merchants mentioned above. Outhouses can only be placed outdoors, while indoor toilets can only be placed indoors. Both the player character and npcs will remove any lower body items (trousers, etc.) before using a toilet. Every city (except Kvatch) has by default several outhouses, which can be used by both the player character and npcs. This includes New Sheoth, if Shivering Isles is installed.

There are 2 toilet need settings (lite and realistic). By default the realistic toilet need setting is used. This option enables the ability to go to the toilet anywhere (when hotkeying/using toilet paper), but adds severe penalties for not visiting a toilet in time. Going too close to people's houses can also get you fined/arrested. The lite toilet need setting makes the use of toilets optional and only gives the player character a bonus to his/her hygiene levels. Change the toilet need setting through OMOD installation and/or by editing the ini file.

Washstands have been added to easily wash your hands after visiting a toilet. To have the player character wash his/her hands use the grab key (press z) while looking at a water source (lake, bathtub, well, etc.). Soap will automatically be used if available in the inventory. Washing hands can be especially useful when looting a lot of undead creatures, or after using a toilet. Additionally, eating with dirty hands can result in contracting a disease.

By default bathtubs, washstands and toilets can't be placed in homes owned by npcs. If owned by a faction the player character has to be in the same faction to place any items. The ownership check, including other placement checks, can be disabled in the ini file.

Also check out my other mods and leave feedback and/or endorsement if you like to support this addon. Thanks and enjoy!

Compatibility and 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.

If the CM Partners Mod is detected additional seats are automatically added to bathtubs (change in ini file). Also, the player character's hunger/thirst levels directly influence the need for the toilet if Basic Primary Needs is detected.

It's recommended to use Hotkey Pro to avoid needing to rehotkey scripted items, like soap and toilet paper. When going without a toilet it's possible to attract rats, which can stay around for many days. Other creatures (beetles, etc.) can be encountered when Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul is installed.

Additionally, Bananasplit Better Cities is recommended for additional in-game water sources (public bathing houses, fountains, etc.) and soap. It also includes built-in support for A Bloody Mess. Other mods adding water sources, soap, toilet paper and toilets are supported by editing the Basic Personal Hygiene for objects.ini file. A second method to support bathtubs added by 3rd party mods is by using the Create Water spell to place trigger objects to simulate water. A trigger object is a small invisible cube which tells the mod the player character is in contact with bathwater when colliding with it. This spell has to be enabled in the ini file.

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 Personal Hygiene 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 hygiene levels. It requires the OBSE MenuQue plugin to function properly.

Available variables: BPH.HUDhygiene, BPH.HUDtoilet, BPH.HUDfeet, BPH.HUDcalves, BPH.HUDthighs, BPH.HUDtorso, BPH.HUDarms and BPH.HUDhead (range: 0 - 100)

BPH.HUDhygiene is the overall hygiene level of the player character. Optionally, use the other HUD values to see this in further detail.

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

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 bathtubs and soap are modified versions originally created by Antistar and SickleYield. The standing washing animation was created by Umpa and the sitting washing animations were created by OreTueee. And finally, the standard outhouse was created by Stroti and the other outhouses, toilets and washstands were created by kaizit.

Many thanks to lowtrap for the German translation, Sita for the French translation, smoking for the Spanish translation, Oblivion89 for the Italian translation, AkaDemikoff, kaizit and Ivbor for the Russian translation and bluesky404 for the Chinese translation.
