I always wanted to be able to see my character eating and drinking the way NPC's do. Thanks to Pistolet's work (this mod is just a little change of his scripts) my wish had come true! But I noticed that no matter what food you eat, you would get the same animation... I tried to edit the scripts and YES! IT WORKED!
Example:
Eating Pork 'n Beans gives you the eating meat of a plate anim.
Eating Fancy Lad's Snack Cakes IIRC gives you the cake anim.
Eating Sugar Bombs gives you a little different meat anim (I couldn't find any other anims).
ANIMATIONS ONLY WORK WHEN SITTING. Eat only 1 food item at a time and wait for the animation to finish.(while sitting of course (this doesn't imply when u r standing)) Also, I recommend you to sit on a chair near a table, so that the animations don't look weird.
Known Bugs:
*When the animation is played the 1st person view will be messed up. Just wait for it to return back to normal (this is also when you return your character control).
*If you eat multiple types of food at once multiple animations will attempt to play at once. This results in the latest anim playing and longer anim time (varying from 10 to 2 minutes looking on how much you consumed).
*If you eat multiple foods (for example 3 cram's) then the animation will play for a longer time(20 secs maybe?). Just wait for the 1st person view to return to normal.
Most credit goes to Pistolet - the original author of this mod.
I hope you enjoy the mod! Comment if there's something wrong with the mod. I will fix it afaic.
Installation:
Extract the archive and put the .esp into your Data folder. Check it in your Mod Manager. ((I'd put it on the bottom of the load order, but you're welcome to experiment!)).
Compatibility:
My guess is that this mod MIGHT not be compatiable with mods that change default food. Just to be sure put it on the bottom of the load order.
P.S. Sorry for my English - it's not my native language.
