About This File
DESCRIPTION
Has it ever bothered you that rather than going off adventuring and risking your life you can get rich in Tamriel using an alchemy lab in an inn and a few septims worth of Garlic and Salt? Do you wonder why people lock valuable items in chests or in rooms but hardly ever use magic or poison to deter thieves? Are you amazed that at level one you know the name of every useful alchemy ingredient and how to harvest it safely?
FMEA is designed to provide additional risks and failure effects to non-combat skills and resource harvesting. Since many of the consequences are based around sex and slavery FMEA has been written with the female adventurer in mind, however FMEA works perfectly well for male adventurers there are just fewer outcomes available.
The current release includes plugins for Lockpicking, Alchemy, Enchanting, Mining and Harvesting potion ingredients. Each plugin is highly configurable with its own MCM page and any or all of the plugins can be enabled or disabled as required.
Enchanting
- Whilst disenchanting an item there is a risk that you may lose control of the Magicka flow as you destroy the item
- The risk of losing control when disenchanting is dependent on the magnitude of the enchantments and the skill of the enchanter
- Whilst enchanting an item there is a risk that you may lose control of the Magicka flow from the Soulgem as you complete the enchantment
- Whilst recharging an item there is a risk you may lose control of the Magicka flow and fail to charge the item, or worse!
- The risk of losing control when enchanting or charging is dependent on the level of Soulgem used and the skill of the enchanter
- Uncontrolled Soulgem flows can result in dimensional anomalies or allow the imprisoned soul to use its psychic energy to lash out seeking revenge
- An uncontrolled release of Soulgem Magicka may attract an interdimensional parasite
- Uncontrolled Soulgem flows will render the enchanting workbench dangerously unstable and unusable until they dissipate
- Endangering the lives of innocent bystanders as a result of recklessly allowing uncontrolled Magicka flows is a serious crime
Lockpicking
- Any locked door or container might now be trapped
- Traps can be set to either rearm or be cleared when triggered
- Traps may have tamper detection built in – just inserting a lock pick might trigger the trap, also, the longer you take picking the lock the more likely it is that the trap will trigger
- There is a chance you may spot a trap before you trigger it, or you may THINK you spot one
- Traps are persistent in the world – as is their individual level of difficulty. Maybe you should come back to that dangerous looking chest with the master level lock when you’ve got a bit more skill?
- Setting off a trap can result in a range of consequences including audible alarms, darts & gas traps
-
There is also an option to add an Alteration skill based Open Locks spell to the world
- The level of magicka control required means the Open Locks spell has a very short range, take care not to trigger any traps!
- The risk of a trap being triggered (if one is present) by the Open Locks spell increases with each failed attempt
- The tome required to learn Open Locks can be bought from specialist merchants selling rare Alteration spells, it might also be found as loot
Alchemy
- Any attempt to make a potion may fail based on the Alchemists skill and their experience at making that particular formula
- Alchemical research is particularly risky even when successful , if unsuccessful it’s downright dangerous
- When an Alchemist fails to make a potion the resulting mixture may be unstable, if they are lucky it will result in some fumes and a bad smell, or they could be unlucky…
- Reckless use of alchemy workbenches in inns and shops poses a risk to innocent bystanders, endangering the public is a crime
- Alchemical failures tend to be noisy and smelly and are likely to attract the attention of anyone (or anything) nearby
Ingredients
- Plant and fungal ingredient sources will be renamed to “Plant” or “Fungus” until the one of the ingredients magic effects is learned. Optionally harvesting of plants and fungi can be blocked until an effect is learned
- Insects and other activator type ingredients can be blocked from harvesting until an effect of the ingredient is learned
- When an ingredient is harvested there is a risk of adverse effect, due to allergy, poisoning or something taking offence at having its friends torn to pieces…
- The risk of an event is based on the number of unknown effects on an ingredient. Once all the effects are known the ingredient is safe to harvest
Mining
- Any attempt to mine may fail based on the difficulty of the ore vein and the skill of the miner
- Miners may lose track of an ore vein as they dig
- Pickaxes may break if used incorrectly
- Inexperienced miners may find the "Ore" they have mined is in fact just useless rubble
- Sparks from the pick may ignite a pocket of flammable gas, injuring innocent bystanders is a crime
- Miners may encounter things that were best left buried
- Ore veins may contain pockets of noxious gas
- Poor mining technique may result in injury

INSTALLATION
Install using NMM or ModOrganiser – make a save first so you can go back if you don’t like the mod or it makes the world explode!
You should see an MCM initialisation message when you load the game. Once the MCM is initialised you need to install the plugins from the FMEA menu.
UPDATING
Updates can be installed over an existing save. A clean save is not required.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
If there’s sufficient interest I plan on developing a FMEA Plugin for Smithing, along with more effects & outcomes for the current plugins. Suggestions welcome!
TROUBLESHOOTING
If a plugin is not working as intended try disabling it in the MCM, waiting a few minutes and then reactivating it.
PERMISSIONS
Under no circumstance can this mod or any of its parts be posted outside of LL without my permission. You may not use the code as part of a for-profit project.
