About this mod
This easy to implement mod removes all food and most ingredients from random barrels and sacks in towns, dungeons and forts, to enhance realism/survival gameplay.

This mod involves removing foodstuffs and some ingredients from ordinary containers such as barrels, sacks, bags, crates and other such mundane objects.
It is two small esp flagged esl's.
How?
It edits two leveled lists, removing food and some ingredients from them.
0010D95B LItemBarrelFoodSameSmall.
0010FCFB LItemBarrelFoodSame70.
And does other small removals to food-related items to some containers.
You can see them in the images.
This mod then replaces the missing food and most ingredients with things like general useless clutter, maybe some salt and flour if you're lucky.
If I recall, it adds the stuff from some useless vendor clutter leveled lists.
The act of finding lots of random food and ingredients in barrels EVERYWHERE, kind of irked me (just did not feel realistic finding 5 tomatoes in random barrel).
So, I just removed all of them, to make my adventurers' rotation to an inn that much more satisfying.
I left the salt and flour because I mean, those can stay somewhat well preserved in an old barrel.
It requires the Dynamic Things Alternative - Base Object Swapper version.
(Thank you ShyShimmer for the correction).
And some other food-related changes to the, uh, food one.
Probably because my Bashed patch is outdated, or something.
But, just make sure to keep it low in your list, or better yet, use parapets mo2 plugin to sort and conflict check your load order.
Or just open xEdit and do it yourself.
Obviously keep the DTA patch below DTA.
You know, there just might be another mod that does this a more elegant way than I did.
I gave it a cursory search on the Nexus, and couldn't find anything related, so I made this one and gave it a "really on the nose" kind of name.
This is probably incompatible with any mod that distributes items independently of LeveledLists, like that one Item Distributor plugin.
Also, you technically still get some salt or flour, which are ingredients, which isn't realistic, but my ingredients needed a lot of salt, and you don't get it very often, so I thought it would be fine.
I think that's it, I probably mentioned everything notable about these two tiny .ESLs.
