Please report issues under the BUGS tab rather than in comments.
There is very little hard requirements (SKSE, powerofthree's papyrus extender, and BEES if you downgraded Skyrim). But I do encourage you to check out all of the mods and frameworks that enable the bonus features for the full experience. They're great. All of them.
There is probably a bunch of typos or weird English all over the mod page. I have a few fingers I can't use for a few weeks, and a keyboard that need replacement. So don't hesitate to mention them so I can make corrections.
I want to list here stuffs this mod do not do, and why.
The ability to ask innkeepers to refill your empty waterskin. Why: Maybe later, I was a bit lazy.
The ability to fill your waterskin from wells or other hand-placed activators. Why: This is kind of a pain to maintain and support, although modern frameworks like BOS should make it more bearable. I might setup some basic activator framework to easily create refill activators if there is enough interest.
There is no concept of "dirty" water from unclean places having a chance to give you disease or misc debuffs. No salty water to boil either. Why: I thought long and hard about this. It's good on paper, but the way it's done in iNeed really isn't as consistent or efficient as you may think it is. And I find it pretty cumbersome to have a bunch of different kind of waterskin in your inventory. If I ever come up with a good idea of implementation, maybe.
There is no concept of "multiple serving" from the same waterskin. Why: This really doesn't bring anything gameplay wise, it just clutter inventory with various waterskins filled at various levels. Just get more waterskins, or keep refilling the same one. I get the immersion appeal, and your absolute need to save 0.6 carry weight, but unless I get insanely bored, this really isn't worth my time implementing.
Add a thirst system. Why: The incentive to stay hydrated is to get better bonuses from food. Reward above punishment, Survival Mode is already here to make sure you don't forget about your basic needs. Also, a proper thirst system would involve supporting a whole lot of other drinks, and that would quickly become a painful compatibility and maintenance nightmare.
Imagine giving credits to the wrong mod author for asset use... (wink wink, nudge nudge, in a funny way trying to make it obvious I'm not being too serious here)
This mod is just what I was looking for! Do you have any plans to incorporate it into crafting, like if you craft something with a full waterskin it returns an empty one to your inventory? If not, no worries, just a thought.
Try this out. Make a text file called Waterskin_KID.ini and put it in the mod file with the esp. Open the file and paste this Keyword = EASKID_All|Potion|WaterskinFilled
Keyword = EASKID_Group01|Potion|WaterskinFilled
Keyword = EASkey_Waterskin|Potion|WaterskinFilled
The animation will play with the ale bottle but it works at least.
Any chance someone has made a patch for these waterskins to appear on Campfire backpacks? I see it was last mentioned in February and was wondering if anyone knows of a patch that has been made.
To use the preset, simply go in-game, open the new UI provided by IED, and click on the "View" tab; Select "Custom", which should open a new window; From there, you can either choose "Global>NPC" (if you want this to be applied to all NPCs), or "Actor" and select yourself, if you only want this on your character; Make sure the right gender is selected too, if it's not already assigned, and check "sync" if you want to apply to both gender at once; Click on the Preset bar and select the one you want to use; Select "Merge."
If you need more support on how to use IED, please consider asking directly on the main mod page, I'm really just Average Joe on this topic.
Just a FYI. the preset doesn't have the female sex entry, so it won't work for female characters. The "sync" option doesn't do anything when applying a preset, it only syncs the configs when creating or editing a display.
It's an easy fix while in-game, just click on arrow next to the display and then on "Copy from opposite sex".
Hi, just wondering if you decided to update it since for me was necessary to do the steps from GiraPompa, and when you edit the position, when you walk its a mess. Thanks for this mod!

Not directly, as campfire is looking specifically for iNeed's waterskin. It's an old system, what I would recommend is taking the time to make an advanced IED preset so that the waterskin display in the proper position if you have a backpack equipped. That's something I still have to do, but it'll probably be next playthrough as right now I'm not using backpacks.
Love this! Been keeping an eye out for this kinda thing for a couple of years, awesome :-) Would prefer the creek refill animation sound to be the water splash on its own (ie minus the glass bottle sound) but just stoked there's a standalone waterskin with animations and sounds to go with it, so yay to you, nice work!!!

Have fun, happy modding, and stay hydrated.

It would be cool to have a iWant widgit for the thirst bonus cool down! (if possible)
thanks!

Short instructions taken from this page :
Select "Custom", which should open a new window;
From there, you can either choose "Global>NPC" (if you want this to be applied to all NPCs), or "Actor" and select yourself, if you only want this on your character;
Make sure the right gender is selected too, if it's not already assigned, and check "sync" if you want to apply to both gender at once;
Click on the Preset bar and select the one you want to use;
Select "Merge."
