About this mod

This mod is still very much a work in progress, will be making changes and tweaks to how this mod works as I learn more about mod the creation kit works and learn more about making mods. Please be patient with me, this is my first attempt at a mod of this scale.
Requirements:
SPID (and it's requirements) - to give all NPC's the ability to inflict injuries
Installing/Updating:
Safe to install/uninstall mid play-thorough as it does not use any scrips, just make sure all active injuries are cured before removing.
Updating should be safe mid play-through as well, unless otherwise specified. If switching from the esp to the esl flagged version, make sure all active injuries are cured first, otherwise should be safe to switch. Main file and all new updates will now be esl flagged esp as of v1.2.
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with any mod, but other mods that add injuries to the player might conflict, nothing game breaking, you will just have too many injuries.
Combat Overhauls that add an injury system such as Wildcat should have their injury system turned off or disabled if possible.
Also any mods that change player speed or magicka regen rates will cause the rates to be adjusted, should not be anything game breaking. In most cases I have seen the rates just get combined.

-Movement speed reduced by 40%
-30% slower Attack Speed
Cure: Splints - craft splints to restore normal movement and attack speeds
-Crafted at a cooking pot with Linen Wraps and Firewood
Note: All cures are currently just potions that cure the effect. This is because I am still learning the creation kit and until I can figure out a better way to make the cures, this will have to do for now.
Since this is my first attempt at an injury mod, the percentages of receiving the injuries may change a few times until I find a good number. As of now I feel like the chance of receiving injuries is fair enough now to not be too overwhelming, while still being able to receive the injuries during normal combat. I will also be working on adding different conditions and percentages for receiving certain injuries based on worn armor. I might also add new injuries in time as I think of new ones to add.
