Requirements
Permissions and credits
LUKA PUMPKINS


This mod is based on a request for pumpkins in Skyrim & adds pumpkins that can be planted in Hearthfire plots or prepared in new drinks, snacks & meals.  The Hearthfire DLC is required.

The Original options include the pumpkin texture from the first (main) screenshot, the Garden Texture options include the rougher pumpkin texture from the last screenshot.

As mods that add plantables are incompatible with each other you have the option of downloading an LP-MPR file that contains "Luka Pumpkin" content as well as the additional plants from "More Plants & Recipes" by Rowan www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26851 - this eliminates the need to use both of these mods plus a patch.
LP-MPR files require Hearthfire, Dawnguard & Dragonborn.


UPDATE INFORMATION

Updated LP-MPR files have been uploaded to fix the incorrect DLC load order.  These are v1.21 & 1.31 - if you are currently using v1.2 or 1.3 LP-MPR files please update!

Regarding the future direction of this mod:

I am currently working on a small "tidy up" of this mod, other than that it is unlikely to get any future updates.


LUKA PUMPKIN DETAILS

In addition to pumpkins this mod also adds herbs, spice & raw honey, which are used in the new recipes as seasonings & sweetener.  8 herbs can be obtained from elves ear, 8 spice from frost miriam & 4 raw honey from honeycomb.  All these items can be found in random loot & occasionally purchased from general merchants.
Additionally all food produce can now be found in loot, food containers will no longer be randomly empty, & they will contain 2 - 3 similar items.

Whole/raw foods, confectionery & baked goods have been added to general merchants for occasional sale - however nothing is guaranteed to be available & merchant stock will vary from visit to visit.
Carlotta in Whiterun's market stall will always sell the basic staples (berries, fruit, vegetables, flour, breads & dairy).

In addition to alcohol inn keepers will sell a random selection of milk, pumpkin drinks, snack items & baked foods.

Pumpkins can be planted in Hearthfire plots & will grow a plant that will yield 4 pumpkins & 4 pumpkin seeds per harvest.  Pumpkin seeds are an ingredient that can be roasted as a healthy snack or used in several pumpkin recipes.

The new drinks will restore & fortify health/stamina/magicka by 25pts, while the new foods will fortify health/stamina/magicka regeneration by 25%.
Drink effects will last for 1 in game hour, snacks for 2, light meals for 3 & heavy meals for 4.  Effects will not stack so if consuming more than one item with the same effect in one sitting consume the item with the highest impact last.

All of the new consumables will be compatible with "iNeed" www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51473 & "Realistic Needs & Diseases 2.0" www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78785, either of which will greatly enhance the immersion in your game.

Some pumpkin drinks & foods can be given to children - these are followed by an ^ in the list below.

INSTALLATION

Before installing a new mod I recommend making a save in an interior cell at a point in your game that you are completely happy with your progress & keeping a back up copy.  That way if you decide to uninstall the mod you can revert to your back up save to avoid having issues with missing content in your game.

"Luka Pumpkins" utilises levelled lists to increase food availability - if foods aren't appearing as they should in random loot or for sale you probably have other mods that edit the same levelled lists.  In this case use a tool such as "Wrye Bash" www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840 to create a bashed patch - ensuring that both Relev & Delev are selected as bash tags before generating your patch.

If you are already using "More Plants & Recipes" in an existing game download an LP-MPR file, deactivate "More Plants & Recipes", rename the esp in your LP-MPR mod folder to be exactly the same as the esp in your "More Plants & Recipes" folder, then activate your LP-MPR mod folder.
If you do not already use "More Plants & Recipes" you can simply download & activate an LP-MPR file normally.



UPDATING

To update to v1.3 please go into an interior cell without any merchants, save, replace your old file with v1.3, & play from your interior save.  If you have already included "Luka Pumpkins" in a bashed patch you will need to rebuild it after activating v1.3.

If updating an LP-MPR file that was used to replace "More Plants & Recipes" remember to rename your esp so that it is the same as your original "More Plants & Recipes" esp.
