Hello all! I'm looking for mod testers for my very first mod! Any and all play testers would be appreciated. I'm hoping to have a few eyes look at it before I publish it officially and of course more after that. Please message me or comment here if you are interested. Description follows: The Sober Soldier's Supply by AlenisKendra Lore-friendly Wine and Mead Smelting This mod is designed as a standalone or as an add-on for iNeed by isoku It was inspired as an expansion on the concept introduced by CaptainRC in Be A Milk Drinker! (Isoku & CaptainRC kindly granted me permission to make my mod compatible with theirs.) Don't want to be drunk while fighting a dragon? Sick of picking up all those alcoholic beverages and not having a good use for them? Well, here you go! This Mod Adds Crafting: Turn any alcoholic beverage into vinegar at a cooking pot! All you need to start the fermentation process is a sample of live vinegar, several bottles (of the same kind) of alcoholic beverage, and rainwater or boiled rainwater. Brew your own healthful posca in a variety of flavors at any cooking pot! All you need is water, vinegar, and your flavor ingredients of choice! Boil rain water at any cooking pot to sanitize it (adding a slight buff when you drink it!). Loot: Find vinegar, coriander seeds (new ingredient!), posca, boiled water, and rainwater scattered throughout Skyrim. Make sure you check bandit camps and farms for cooking pots and rainbarrels! Buyable items: Buy vinegar, coriander seeds, posca, rainwater, and more from a select number of vendors throughout Skyrim! (Note: coriander is a favorite of the caravans!) Also added honey to several merchants. Future Releases I plan to release a patch version in the near future, for both iNeed and Be A Milk Drinker, that will allow you to use the water assets from those mods in your vinegar making & posca creation. (The standalone version is fully compatible with both mods, but you can only use rainwater, not WATER from Be A Milk Drinker or Waterskin 3/3 from iNeed in it's recipes.)FAQ Is that really how you make vinegar? Yes! (Or, at least as close as I could easily do ingame.) It could be argued that a cooking pot isn't the most lore-friendly crafting station for fermentation, but it *is* the most easily accessible and workable option I have currently.Vinegar making sources: http://phickle.com/wine-vinegar-how-to/ http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/fermenting/make-vinegar-at-home-zmrz14fmzmathttp://healthywithhoney.com/honey-vinegar-what-is-honey-vinegar-and-what-is-it-good-for What the heck is posca? QUOTE "Posca was a popular drink in ancient Rome and Greece, made by mixing sour wine or vinegar with water and flavouring herbs. It originated in Greece as a medicinal mixture but became an everyday drink for the Roman army and the lower classes from around the 2nd century BC, continuing to be used throughout Roman history and into the Byzantine period. It was not usually drunk by the upper classes and was associated with the peasants. It was made by reusing wine spoiled by faulty storage and had important dietary advantages. As well as being a source of liquid, it provided calories and was an antiscorbutic, helping to prevent scurvy by providing vitamin C. Its acidity killed harmful bacteria and the flavouring helped to overcome the bad taste of local water supplies." - Soldiers' Lives Through History by Dennis E. Showalter (via Wikipedia) "...posca was the drink of the common people and the upper class looked down on it. It was also the standard drink in the army. Drinking quality wine was considered impertinent in the military and sometimes standard wine was totally banned from army camps in the provinces." -romae-vitam.com Posca history/recipe soures: http://www.romae-vitam.com/roman-posca.html http://pass-the-garum.blogspot.com/2013/09/posca.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posca#cite_note-1 CreditsThanks to Bethesda for creating Skyrim.Thanks to the Nexus for being an awesome place to find and share mods.Thanks to InsanitySorrow for the ReadMe Generator my ReadMe is based on.Thanks to isoku for creating iNeed and encouraging me in creating my mod.This mod is designed as a standalone/add-on for iNeed by isokuIsoku kindly granted me permission to use whatever I needed from iNeed to make my mod compatible.(http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51473/?)Thanks to CaptainRC for creating Be A Milk Drinker!, which inspired this mod and for encouraging me in making my mod.CaptainRC kindly granted me permission to use whatever I needed from Be A Milk Drinker! to make my mod compatible.(http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17836/?)Thanks to icecreamassassin for the "havok disable script that actually works".
