iActions [Drunk+] for SkyrimNet - Quick Start

👉 Latest Release v0.5.7 here!!!

⚠️ Warning: Experimental

Test on separate/non-precious saves first if you're risk-averse!
🚨 Upgrading requires clean migration: See upgrade notes below
(For overly-detailed documentation on all the things, see the iActions Wiki.)

TL;DR

What it does: NPCs drink, get drunk & sober over time (plus a few extras) via SkyrimNet actions

• NEW v0.5.7: Sleep Sobering — Drunk NPCs gradually sober up while you sleep (configurable PointsPerSleepHour, default: 4)
• v0.5.5: NPCs can sit & drink at the same time... generally, prompt updated & ready for SkyrimNet Beta14
• v0.5.1.x: NPCs can now request to trade items with you
• v0.5.0: 5-tier drunk system (Buzzed→Blackout), major performance optimizations, new MCM settings, rebranded to clarify non-official status
• Install: Mod manager → Load after OAR drunk animations → Configure in MCM
• Requirements: Skyrim SE/AE + SkyrimNet + OAR + JContainers + PO3_SKSEFunctions + drunk animations (optional)

Quick Installation

1. Install requirements (SkyrimNet, OAR, JContainers, PO3_SKSEFunctions)
2. Install iActions with mod manager
3. Load AFTER OAR drunk animations mod
4. Configure in MCM menu

Upgrading?

1. Run iActions MCM's "Prepare for Uninstall"
2. Save game & exit Skyrim completely
3. In mod manager, disable iActions mod entry
4. Without iActions enabled: Restart Skyrim & load save from step 2
5. Save game & exit Skyrim completely (again)
6. Enable new iActions version in mod manager
7. Restart Skyrim & load save from step 5 (Use setstage SKI_ConfigManagerInstance 1 if MCM doesn't appear after some time)

Upgrading from v0.3.0? (No MCM uninstall)

1. Use SkyrimNet WebUI: Run WebUI_PrepareForUninstall() on iActions_MCM script
2. Save → Quit → Disable mod → Load save → Save
3. Install new version → Enable → Load save

What It Does

• Drunk System: NPCs drink alcohol → get drunk → sober up automatically (5 levels: Buzzed, Tipsy, Drunk, Plastered, Blackout)
• Sleep Sobering: NPCs lose drunk points while you sleep (configurable rate, default 4 points/hour)
• Actions: Drink alcohol, request alcohol, sober up, extract arrows, stumble
• Player Features: Force push, optional in-game debug notifications
• Performance: Optimized inventory detection, cached alcohol lookups, reduced script lag

Key MCM Settings

• Alcohol required by default (can be disabled completely or only in inns/taverns)
• 20-second cooldowns to prevent drink/stumble spam
• Auto-incremental sobering every 5 minutes (configurable)
• v0.5.7: Sleep Sobering — PointsPerSleepHour (0-100, default: 4). Points drunk NPCs lose per hour of sleep. Set to 0 to disable. Example: 8 hours sleep × 4 points = 32 points lost (~4 drunk tiers)
• v0.5.1: Exchange Items (max types tracked: default 20, tested up to 50; more items = longer processing)
• v0.5.0: Max simultaneous drunk NPCs (8-128, default 32)
• v0.5.0: Toggle drink animations (user preference for animation timing)
• v0.5.0: Performance logging for optimization monitoring
• Key-bindable shove (middle-mouse button works well, unbound by default)
• All(/most) settings in MCM menu
