Also added an option to keep the mod disabled during chapter one. I didn\u2019t actually test this yet since I\u2019d have to play through chapter one to see if it works properly\u2026 But the bug should be fixed even with this option turned off.<br \/>\n\u2013 Added COLD_SCREEN_EFFECT and HOT_SCREEN_EFFECT ini options to disabled the blur if you\u2019re cold or hot.<br \/>\n\u2013 Fixed losing money upon dying. (wasn\u2019t really a bug, just a feature I meant to remove\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Version 1.0.1:<br \/>\n\u2013 Crash while bathing is fixed.<br \/>\n\u2013 Pressing the hotkey any time will cancel the current animation you\u2019re in, so you can use it in case somehow you get stuck while resting, drinking etc..<\/p>\n<p>This is a compilation of some of my previously released mods as well as some I\u2019ve only made for myself and haven\u2019t released before.<br \/>\nIt has a ton of ini options to customize every aspect of it, or disable parts you don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n<p>Use the hotkey (\u20180\u2019 by default, change in the ini), or the press the \u2018open satchel\u2019 button on controllers for the prompts to come up.<\/p>\n<p>Base core drain:<br \/>\nYour cores are slowly getting drained over time. Eat, drink, sleep and take care of yourself to keep them from being depleted all the time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Thirst core:<br \/>\nOver time you become dehydrated\u2026 It\u2019ll slowly drain your cores, then eventually your health and you\u2019ll die. Use your flask or drink from rivers to restore your thirst core. Refill your flask in rivers \/ lakes, or in saloons alongside your whisky flask.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger core:<br \/>\nThere is no hunger core\u2026<br \/>\nBy default sleeping or bathing doesn\u2019t restore your health core, only eating does. Combined with the \u201cbase core drain\u201d feature effectively turning your health core into a hunger core. Eat to have health\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Pee core:<br \/>\nTake a leak every now and then or your pee-pee explodes.<\/p>\n<p>Weather core:<br \/>\nNot wearing appropriate clothes for the weather will make you overheat or become hypothermic. It\u2019ll drain your cores, apply a screen effect and you\u2019ll slowly lose health. Warm yourself up by your campfire or by getting drunk, take shelter in your tent from rain, drink water or wash yourself to cool yourself down, etc\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Sleep core:<br \/>\nThis is my \u201cSleep Deprivation\u201d mod completely included here.<br \/>\nIf you go for too long without sleeping you\u2019ll become tired that\u2019ll make you do \u201cheavy blinks\u201d and slowly drains your health. Eventually you\u2019ll pass out of sleep deprivation. (Check the description of Sleep Deprivation for more details\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Injuries:<br \/>\nThis is a light version of my \u201cCritical Hits\u201d mod, if you want a more fleshed out version of this feature use Critical Hits instead.<br \/>\nYou have a random chance to suffer an injury during combat that\u2019ll make you fall over and act injured for a while.<br \/>\nYour health doesn\u2019t regenerate while you\u2019re injured (get drunk to ease the pain and offset this), and your cores are getting drained faster.<br \/>\nYou can set if injuries should heal on their own, only heal when you sleep or when you use a health tonic AND sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Resting:<br \/>\nThese are the rest options from my \u201cCamp Anywhere\u201d mod + the take a nap option from Sleep Deprivation.<br \/>\nResting slowly regenerates your stamina core, taking a nap will partially restore your sleep core and all your main cores.<br \/>\nThe three different rest options (sit, relax, play guitar) are just for immersion.<\/p>\n<p>Washing yourself:<br \/>\nYou can wash yourself in rivers to clean blood (some injuries will leave permanent blood on you) or dirt off yourself, or to cool yourself in hot weather\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Whisky Flask:<br \/>\nThis has everything from my \u201cHappy Flask\u201d mod + getting drunk helps you deal with bad weather or eases the pain and regenerates your health when you\u2019re injured. Refill flask in saloons.<\/p>\n<p>Camp:<br \/>\nThis is pretty much my \u201cCamp Anywhere\u201d mod without the advanced part, it let\u2019s you build a camp anywhere, with some extra options like only be able to build a camp when your horse is nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Change clothes anywhere:<br \/>\nThis simply lets you switch between your saved custom outfits anywhere. Only works with *custom* outfits, not with pre-made sets you can buy in stores or at the trapper. This makes the survival experience less hardcore, but allows you travel around without your horse and not get screwed by the weather.<\/p>\n<p>Known issues:<br \/>\n\u2013 The weather core is pretty complex and was made for my liking and there\u2019s no easy way to add options so everyone can change it to their liking unfortunately. But if you run into instances when you think you should be definitely ok with your current clothing but your not, let me know (preferably post the temperature + if you\u2019re wearing a coat, west, gloves, or a hat).<br \/>\n\u2013 This mod was only tested by myself, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll run into some issues I missed\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Installation:<br \/>\nDownload SurvivalMechaincs.rar, extract it and drop the files into your Red Dead Redemption 2 game folder.<\/p>\n<p>Authors: crossed99<\/p>\n<p><center>    <a href=\"\/getlink?url=68747470733a2f2f6d6f6473626173652e636f6d2f6f3772316a6c7632666b66782f537572766976616c4d656368616e696373312e302e322d313236312d312d302d322d313634313733323139332e7261722e68746d6c\" \r\n       target=\"_blank\"\r\n       style=\"            display: inline-flex;            align-items: center;            gap: 10px;            padding: 12px 24px;            border-radius: 6px;            background: var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            color: #fff;            text-decoration: none;            font-weight: 600;            font-size: 16px;            border: 2px solid var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            transition: all 0.3s ease;            box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);       \"\r\n       onmouseover=\"this.style.background='#333'; this.style.borderColor='#333'; this.style.transform='translateY(-2px)';\"\r\n       onmouseout=\"this.style.background='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.borderColor='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.transform='translateY(0)';\"\r\n    >\r\n        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-download\"><\/i>\r\n        <span>DOWNLOAD MODS<\/span>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <\/center><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This mod forces you to eat, drink, sleep, wear appropriate clothes for the current weather, make you suffer injuries, lets you build a camp, change your clothes or get drunk anywhere.
