Please report any issues so we can get this working properly for all file updated is named- FS25_SurvivalNeeds.zip – other files remain unchanged. (no need to redownload the other two files if already installed) nonimportant TIP- first dropping of food item may lag for a split second, this is because it’s creating the required files, after that it’ll never lag upon dropping food, THIS ONLY happens on lower end pcs, below 1080 gpu from my experience/testing. FIRST person camera to drop food properly as of right now, if in third person it’ll drop behind head.
