Upgrading from v0.5.7? (Safe update — new dependency required)

1. Install Papyrus MessageBox first
2. Update iActions normally — save compatible, no migration needed

Upgrading from v0.6.0? (Safe update)

1. Update iActions normally — save compatible, no new dependencies
2. Optional: edit SKSE/Plugins/iActions/extra_alcohol.json to add custom drinks

What It Does

• Drunk System: NPCs drink alcohol → get drunk → sober up automatically (5 levels: Buzzed, Tipsy, Drunk, Plastered, Blackout)
• Sleep Sobering: NPCs lose drunk points while you sleep (configurable rate, default 4 points/hour)
• Actions: Drink alcohol (specific drinks by name!), request food, request alcohol, sober up, extract arrows, stumble
• Player Features: Force push, optional in-game debug notifications
• Custom Drinks: Add mod-added alcohol via SKSE/Plugins/iActions/extra_alcohol.json (Bruma, Interesting NPCs, etc.)
• Smart Inventory: SKSE decorators iActions_get_npc_alcohol and iActions_get_alcohol_formids for real-time alcohol detection
• Web Agent: Built-in SkyrimNet web agent (iActions Extra Alcohol Helper) to auto-detect mod-added drinks and generate config — ready to use in the WebUI Agents area
• Smart Spawning: Free-drinks mode spawns the specific drink the NPC asked for (not random)
• Performance: Optimized inventory detection, cached alcohol lookups, reduced script lag

Key MCM Settings

• Alcohol required by default (can be disabled completely or only in inns/taverns)
• 20-second cooldowns to prevent drink/stumble spam
• Auto-incremental sobering every 5 minutes (configurable)
• v0.6.5: 26 drinks, custom drinks JSON, specific drink selection, FormID-based detection
• v0.6.0: Receive Food — Followers request food (survival mode focus), Auto-Give toggle, Max Food Items (1-20), Food Preference Order (4 options), Cooldown (1-300s)
• v0.5.7: Sleep Sobering — PointsPerSleepHour (0-100, default: 4). Points drunk NPCs lose per hour of sleep. Set to 0 to disable. Example: 8 hours sleep × 4 points = 32 points lost (~4 drunk tiers)
• v0.5.1: Exchange Items (max types tracked: default 20, tested up to 50; more items = longer processing)
• v0.5.0: Max simultaneous drunk NPCs (8-128, default 32)
• v0.5.0: Toggle drink animations (user preference for animation timing)
• v0.5.0: Performance logging for optimization monitoring
