Here’s a Skyrim mod that replaces vegetation with poop, because why not at this stage?

This mod is literally shit.

We’ve seen it all from the Skyrim community. We’ve had everything from new quests, better visuals, bug fixes, and that one mod that turns the Giant Spiders into a creepy looking Spider-Man, complete with gangly limbs. But maybe it’s time we had something more scatological in our TES5 experience. Or so one person felt, at least.

In what can only be described as something of a head-scratching moment, Nexus Mods user nakano52 decided to replace Skyrim‘s vegetation with literal poo. Referred to as DIY (or Doo Ingredients Yuk), this mod is potentially suited for those who often find themselves thinking, “there’s not enough shit on my travels” while adventuring across Tamriel.

Specifically, nakano52 says the mod replaces shrubs and plants “at a certain rate,” whatever that means. However, it’s not just for the aesthetic grossness of it, though the modder admits they thought it would be fun to see vast piles of poop in the game.

Not quite healing powers

You see, Doo Ingredients Yuk does have something of a purpose. As noted in the name, the piles of plants-cum-feces can actually be harvested for those who consider themselves quite the budding alchemist.

What can it be used for in this context? Why, nothing more than a simple poison, of course. According to the description page, poop has a gold value of one, a weight capacity of 0.1, and has the following effects:

  • Ravage Health
  • Lingering Damage Health
  • Lingering Damage Magicka
  • Lingering Damage Stamina

There are, however, a few additional mods you’ll need to download and install before this one will work, such as SkyPatcher and Base Object Swapper. Other than that, you’re good to go, because we’ve all run out of things to do in Skyrim, it seems. Not that I’m above a poop-based modification, you understand.
