Food.

Are the effects of eating multiple things at once like vegetable soup cumulative?

[Lady Aeleanor]

Every food item boosts your health by a few or several points. Some foods boost quite a bit, others not so much. Each food item will have a detail about how many points it will boost your health, when you highlight it in the inventory. Not sure about vegetable soup being "cumulative", but it likely has more health points in it than, say, a carrot. But, I would say, if you made soup or cabbage stew, it would provide more health points.

Vegetable soup has a regenerative effect rather than a one-time restoration like most food.

That being said, I don't know the answer.

That is what I am asking, does the regenerative effect stack if you eat numerous food items?

Best way to find out is to cook multiple foodstuffs with the regenerative effects, see if they stack, especially if it stacks with multiple eatings of the same food.

edit: the effects are still shown under active magical effects

From my experience it doesn't seems to stack just resets the timer that it will last. I haven't really tried with different health buffing foods so they might. The recommendation to eat many health buffing foods at once to see if it stacks in the magical effect menu is a good one. It would be interesting to see your results if you do try the experiment.

Survey says: "We don't know, please test on our behalf"

Sarcasm / joking aside. I've got to test a few new mods in game. I'll cheat a few food items and let you know in a couple minutes.

I believe with SkyUI stuff like regen effects from food do stack, at least it was in oldrim SkyUI. Vanilla, it refreshes your regen timer back to 720 seconds. It was absolutely broken though using like 50 vegetable soups.

If you see the same magic effect in spell/status over and over then its not adding to the duration, and is stacking.

That makes sense. Do potions follow suit? Do different sources of the same effect accumulate?

Sorry for the delay: had distractions.

After testing i can confirm that vegetable soup does stack. (Note that i do have mods enabled but nothing that i think should effect this).

After eating 1 soup, if i sprint i lose stamina. After eating 10 in a row, i will actually gain stamina while sprinting.

Multiple potions of destruction did not stack. Potion of destruction also did not stack with a custom made one. (Via alchemy station)

Do you have SkyUI installed?

[HazakTheMad]

SkyUI does not change effects.
Vegetable soups stack, but some potions don't.

Strange, i tried this sometime with seperate save files. One with SkyUI, other completely modless, first had stacking vegetable soup, second didn't. I don't think SE changed this, will have to check it out again some time.

Edit: The reason why i did that, was to check some tactics for challenge runs.

As a side note...I think its pretty commonplace that you can't drink a bunch of resists to stack one type higher. You can use multiple types at the same time. It's fairly rudimentary but its handy basic information.
