I'm interested to know what "survival" mods play well with Nehrim. I have special concerns about FF Real Thirst, since I don't think it alters the wells in Nehrim? I suspect Vim and Vigor would be okay, judging that you just need a body of water near by to fill your canteen?

Anyone who has advice, I would be glad to receive it.

Check the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1159104-nehrim-and-mods-ii/ thread, there's a list of compatible mods for Nehrim or you can ask your questions there. Beebee seems to be actively working on porting mods, you might be able to request something too.
