Installation:
—
Manual: extract the contents of the archive to your SkyrimData folder and activate CookingExpanded.esp in the launcher or your mod manager.
Manual uninstall: Deactivate CookingExpanded.esp, then remove it along with CookingExpanded.bsa from your Data folder.
Wrye: put the archive in your Bash Installers folder and install it normally
NMM: should work through the Nexus “Download with Manager” link, let me know if it doesn’t.
This mod will be recognized by BOSS, I recommend using that to sort your load order.
Compatibility Notes:
—
Some leveled lists from Skyrim.esm have been edited. If you use other mods that add to the food lists, you will need to use Wrye Bash to create a bashed patch.
I also edited the empty SpitPot containers to give them a 25% chance of having soup or stew inside, this will conflict with other mods that change those. Load whichever mod you want to have priority last.
As of version 1.2b, this mod has built-in support for Frostfall 2.0.
Patches for Hearthfire, Dragonborn, Imp’s More Complex Needs, Phitt’s Alchemy and Food Overhaul and YASH are available in the Optional Files section.
born2bkilled’s patch for Realistic Needs and Diseases (unsupported by me) is available here:
Cooking Expanded – Realistic Needs and Diseases Compatibility Patch
Glorifin’s patch for the Dragonborn addon (unsupported by me):
Cooking Expanded – Dragonborn – Realistic Needs and Disease Support Patch
