My advice is only really applicable to PC, but don't be afraid to cheat a little bit for QOL. Things like using player.additem for firewood when crafting arrows or a mod to bypass lock picking (if you hate the mini game) , things like that.
Normally for cheating like this I would say you'll end up missing out on the way the game was meant to be enjoyed, but that kinda goes out the window when you've racked up 1,000+ hours.
Black coffee One apple One banana 500ml banana flavoured pea protein isolate
I'm not thrilled about consuming so much of the pea protein isolate, however I'm now actually seeing progress in my workouts so that's nice! I'm looking at replacing it with a source of protein that's a bit more natural, or atleast not processed to high heaven.
