SunHelm is a survival and needs mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition.

It includes many features such as Hunger, Thirst, Fatigue, and even Hypothermia mechanics.

SunHelm strives for a degree of simplicity, while still offering the core features one might expect in a personal needs mod. It is very customizable, including an MCM that allows you to customize most aspects of the mod.


Please note that this site is a work in progress. I am still working on filling adding some of the details to this site.
