Description



I found the vanilla system of looting an animal and instantly getting the pelt/meat/ingredient to be quite immersion breaking and I found it odd that a mod similar to this did not exist yet. Inlight of this I set out to create this mod to bring more immersion to hunting and gathering in Skyrim making my character invest time in every kill.

What It Does



To be honest there are no real changes to the vanilla game. This mod simply adds a small fade to black after looting certain items from animals, advances time, and fades back. Time advance for items is cumulative, so if a deer pelt is looted and a venison is looted more time will go by than if just a deer pelt was looted. Item such as gold, gem, soulgems, or armour will not advance time do to the fact that there are not part of the animal its self and do not have to be 'removed' from the animal.

If anyone finds the fade and sound after looting to get annoying and feel time should just advance during looting say so I've considered removing it myself anyway.

The logic used behind all the times used:

The pelts/hides - size of animal
The meats - size of animal and size of meat
The other stuff - difficulty to get out of animal

Current Version

Compatibility with the SkyRE Gatherer Perk decreases the amount of time for each item by a percentage for each rank taken.
Gatherer Rank 1 decreases time by 20%
Gatherer Rank 2 decreases time by 40%

Compatibility



This mod edits nothing in the world space nor does it edit any items or items' references at all, so there should be

no compatibility issues. This mod should also be completely compatible with any mod that adds new types of existing

animal races such as SkyTest. This mod will not be completely compatible with mod that add new loot-able items to the

animals as the items will not be in the list of items that activates the time advancement, however this mod mod could

be at least semi-compatible with mods that add new animal races to the game as long as the animals have the

'ActorTypeAnimal' or 'ActorTypeCreature' keywords and are looting vanilla items.

Suggested compatibility patched are welcome but there is no guarantee that any thing will happen.
