A mod for The Long Dark. This mod allows you to choose your starting condition, fatigue, hunger, thirst, warmth, injuries and illnesses when starting a new game.
It is intended for use when starting a new SURVIVAL MODE game. It will do nothing to an existing game.
The idea is to let you have a more varied experience and come up with your own scenarios. This mod goes well with ChooseStartingGear.

- 100% is a "full" meter, so 100% thirst means you are NOT THIRSTY at all.
- If you want to add injuries, set
Start with Injuries
to YES and a list of options will appear- The options vary by injury, but most will let you choose a location (e.g. Left Hand) and a Cause (e.g. Wolf Bite)
- If you want to add illnesses, set
Start with Illnesses
to YES and a list of options will appear- Your chosen Survival Mode affects what illnesses you can be afflicted with, e.g. on Pilgrim mode choosing to start with Cabin Fever will do nothing
