Simple Hunting Overhaul

A simple hunting overhaul that puts gameplay first, while still remaining immersive, quick and responsive.

How it works?

• Looting the pelt of an animal (via the normal looting system) updates the animal visuals, does a super quick fade-to-black effect and plays a skinning sound in the background. This is similar to Headhunter's "Loot the head" system. All very quick, intuitive and unobtrusive.
• Looting the pelt also advances time. Depending on your experience in skinning animals, it will take you from a few minutes to a maximum of 2 hours. This happens automatically and a message lets you know how much time has passed.
• You can also pick up the carcass of an animal. To do this, you simply hold SHIFT and the animal activation will switch from "Loot Wolf" to "Pick Up Carcass". This is similar to Read or Take's approach, so you should be familiar with it.

You can tailor some aspects of the mod in its MCM menu

Immersive Hunting

Immersive Hunting is a complement of Simple Hunting Overhaul and add special animations as well as providing more interactions when skinning animal, also allows you to carry whole carcass to sell.

This mod is disabled by default, to enable it you need to go to its MCM menu
