What?
A small patch to cause Drinking Fountains of Skyrim to return Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (CACO) water.
How?
Design philosophy
Drinking Fountains of Skyrim provides an immersive way to obtain water. This mod allows for water item consistency when used with CACO. This in-turn allows CACO and mods that leverage it, like iWant RND for CACO, to have another source of in-world water
In Game
Activating any fountain added by Drinking Fountains of Skyrim will return a full (8/8) Jug of Water from CACO. There’s no limit on number of items that can be acquired. There is no requirement to have an empty container available.
The plugin contains a known identical to master (ITM) record from CACO. It is a test entry from CACO and serves no in-game function for this mod. What it does do is prevent CACO from being removed as a master if you clean this mod with xEdit. I’m not sure why, but CACO’s base Jug of Water item appears to be injected backward (plugin ID: 01) rather than appearing to originate from the plugin itself (plugin ID: xx).
Load Order
Compatibility
Should work with any mods that don’t alter the water fountains.
Specifically, Drinking Fountains of Skyrim for SSE - RND Patch, overwrites the same activator and is not compatible. It is not needed, and should not be used if you’re using iWant RND for CACO with this mod.
Why?
It was a great idea and pretty easy! NekoSayuri asked a question about water sources on the iWant RND for CACO discussion thread. They mentioned Drinking Fountains of Skyrim which caused me to take a look at the mod as I’d previously used it with RND. After a quick look over what was involved it became clear that it would be pretty easy to update it to work with iWant RND for CACO.
Although I was originally going to include it as an optional plugin for iWant RND for CACO, I realized it really had nothing to do with that mod or even RND. It was simply a way to get CACO water from Drinking Fountains of Skyrim. Since there was no dependency, there was no reason, other than my own laziness, not build a separate mod for the work. Separating it also allows someone using CACO but not RND to gain the benefit as well.
On a related note, this lack of dependency was EXACTLY why I designed iWant RND for CACO the way I did. It was an unexpected surprise when I realized it worked so well in this case.
When?
This project was originally developed in April 2020.
Potential improvements

Potential improvements
- Testing! I’ve done some, but I am one and you are many. Please test and log bugs you find.
- Get rid of ITM record if someone can explain the Jug of Water form ID oddity in CACO (it’s far from the only record like that in the CACO plugin) and/or, more importantly how to keep xEdit from dropping the master if the ITM isn’t there.
