However, it adds another feature that is supposed to further the realism: stomach grumbling, which gives a sneak penalty. This is all well and good, but those penalties never get removed, and they stack. With my last character, I just ignored it and didn't bother tracking the problem down since said character was a warrior type. But I now intend to play a thief.
The "Temporary" sneak penalties never get removed. There is only one version of COBL Real Hunger, so it's not possible to revert to an old version without the issue. I have used older builds of real hunger though. Many are buggy. I remember two versions ctd'd if you tried to harvest a nirnroot plant. And the original, which still works, is rather... crude, compared to the COBL version.
I'm going to try to fix the issue, but I'm horrible at scripting. If anyone else sees this and fixes it, could you shoot me a PM? I don't get on here much, and I really don't have much time to keep on top of the modding scene anymore.
