About this mod
This mod is my Gradual potions, Gradual Ingredients, Gradual Food and Drink Effects, and Actual Skooma all rolled into one. As well as including an alternate version with longer lasting food buffs

The longer lasting food buffs will be about half of skyrim's day at 20 timescale (2160 seconds), and the food debuff "fullness" will last a longer amount of time depending on how filling the food would be, but no more than a quarter of the day. Some effects like a resist disease or resist poison buff will last 24 hours, so it behooves you to eat a variety of foods. I play with Sunhelm, and balance things to work with it, I play with a hunger gain setting of 7 or 8. I've tried to relate the benefits to real life nutrition, carbs fortify your stamina, meat fortifies your health, vegetables can do a variety of things but generally they help with regeneration. Some foods even help with magicka. There is some overlap too to make foods unique and special.
Gradual potions makes restore potions apply a bit more resource values than vanilla, but they take a bit of time to do so, typically 10-17 seconds. Higher grade potions typically get more strength AND duration, but the vigorous potions are much faster acting and still apply a better amount of health than the tier below them (13 seconds instead of 17).
Gradual Ingredients gives ingredients a duration value and I have this roughly balanced with my gradual potions section of the mod, a master alchemist can make stronger potions than whats typically available, but average or even expert alchemists will still end up finding use in some store bought or found potions until they are more skilled.
Actual Skooma is a fun one, not only have I made recipes for home made skooma, but the skooma actually does give you super stamina for a while but you crash afterwards. Balmora Blue is harder to procure but also gives you a magicka buff. If I recall correctly, Skooma giving some users enhanced magicka ability is lore accurate.
Patch provided for:
Diverse Foods BOS
Patches coming soon for:
Bottles of Skyrim
Actual Sweetroll Variants
But all the patches posted on my other pages will work fine with this mod, though as I tweaked the balance, you may get some "outdated effects". The patches are geared towards the regular version, but I'm going to upload versions for the even longer effects version too, I just don't want to get into patching hell maintaining so many versions.
Known issues: Resist disease doesn't work as intended, removed it in modern versions of the mod 1.2+
Sorry for the janky screenshots, aiming for screenshotting in VR just isn't as easy as flat screen
