• ESPFE (ESP flagged as ESL).
  

The most beautiful remodel of gourd has avoided a patch for too long! Now you can devour its peel. Yummy! 😋

Since new mesh is quite different in shape compared to vanilla, default EAS animation for gourd was not appropriate for it. Therefore, a simple mesh replacer would not do. So I needed a plugin to base on another EAS reference, namely Eidar Cheese Wheel... Yep. The result was better than I imagined. Here's a gif for your convenience.




99% Version

• Long as another mod does not try to utilise MGEF record "aaaGourd_Animation_ME" from EAS for other foods, you wouldn't have any inconsistencies.
• Most authors, if not all, generate new records for new foods they patch. So you should be safe with this one.
  

100% Version

• In case you suspect anything or are not willing to risk it, I made an optional version powered by, lo and behold, ✨the SkyPatcher!💫
• This one does not edit MGEF record "aaaGourd_Animation_ME" from EAS. Instead, it has its own brand new MGEF, which is distributed to all gourds on runtime by SkyPatcher with 0 conflict. I mean it!
  

Do not be mistaken that either version touches the ALCH records! This mod is not editing the food records directly, so it is totally compatible with any food/cooking overhaul that edits gourd record.

Please use a mod manager of choice.

If not, extract the files in your data folder. Delete when you want to uninstall.

I assume you can safely remove this mod mid play. Files contained are a mesh, an SKSE plugin (if you've chosen SkyPatcher version), an _ANIO ini, and lastly an ESPFE with just two records only called upon consuming gourd which last a few seconds. Just ensure that you are not under the effect of the animation playing (it has a 10 second duration)!

But you always back up your saves. This is Skyrim, afterall. You never know when it Just Works™. 💪🏻
