How do you activate survival mode?

[Omnishade]

I don't see an option for it anywhere. And what about thirst and sleep? Is there a mod that expands on survival mode to add those things or is there any compatible survival mod?

Main game settings. There are a few mods that expand on it, this is a good one: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/78244

On nexus someone said that you get a message asking if you want to activate it after you leave the first dungeon. So where did you get this info?

In fact you get that Messageafter escaping from helgen.

But you can also activate or deactivate it later in the Game Settings.

 

Sleep, Hunger and Cold(Warmth) and I think some new deseases are included into the CC Survival Mode

 

Not sure if there is a mod that adds thirst.

But you can get Dirt/need to wash as a mod

Thirst is part of Realistic Needs which I've been using so far. But it won't play well with Survival mode, having two different hunger stats.

Right. You shouldn't mix needs mods with survival mode. In fact most needs mods will likely override or disable survival things so you don't get overlapping effects. Unless you're using a needs mods that isn't aware of Survival mode (unsupported, outdated, etc.). So if you can't enable Survival mode is hopefully an intended effect from one of your mods.

In normal circumstances you only need to wait to have full control over your character (usually after finishing Helgen in a vanilla start or after spawning in the world in an alternate start mod) to see the prompt, and you can change that setting at any time in game settings.

Not sure if its a good idea to mix  CC Survival Mode Mod and Realistic Needs Mod.

I would only use one.  Especially after they function diffrently  on how adding negative effects.

 

What I like about the CC Survival Mode is that it adds Cold/Warmth  which is a great feature for a Game that plays in a Viking/Scandinavian Setting

Survival Mode is a lazy half-assed rip-off of Frostfall with half the features and shoddy implementation, made by some talentless hack on Bethesda's commission, back when they first introduced Creation Club and were charging money for it. Basically it was a shameless cash grab that rode off the back of years of Chesko's work. Drop this crap and get Frostfall, still the best survival mod out there despite its age, still working fine and probably the most supported mod of all survival mods that were ever made.
