best needs mod for immersion?

[McJiggy]

Which mod is best to use to add in basic needs like hunger, thirst, and sleep? I'm trying to make Skyrim a more immersive game and I want to know which basic needs mod has the least issues. I'm using normal skyrim by the way if that matters for this kind of mod.

iNeed for the basic approach
Realistic needs and diseases (short RND) for a bit heavier mod and some additional features

As Grumpy said, INeed for sure but maybe not RND. That's a bit more Hardcore.
There's really isn't anything in game to drive you to sleep or eat, so iNeed is needed for that.

You can also use Wet & Cold so you have need to use a cloak and other things to keep you warm and the NPCs will reflect that with the mod. Cloaks of Skyrim & Winter is Coming are two good cloak mods for that.

It also matter if you have all the DLCs or not. A lot of mods require that, including the Unofficial Legendary Edition Patch which is a Must for fixing bugs the devs left in.

Well, having the diseases may be too much at first. But thinking about it, you can turn that off in the MCM.

iNeeds is one of the most broken mods I've ever used. Followers have a hard time sitting down to eat, innkeepers are supposed to offer to refill your water but they don't, crashes to desktop are very common, dangerous diseases can never be disabled, water buckets and barrels are functionally identical despite being vastly different weights, food spoilage doesn't work and causes crashes, and so many more issues. Haven't used RND yet but it's most certainly better than this.

aka blame the mod for user error

Yeah, I've used iNeed for years it's one of the best needs mods. I used to use Imp's More Complex Needs, but I don't even know if it's around anymore. Last Seed by Chesko is hand's down the worst needs mod (unless he has since finished it which I doubt) Not only the worst needs mod but the worst mod he's made period. adams apple actually seems to be describing Last Seed not iNeed
