Hygiene mod?

Does anyone know of a Hygiene mod? A mod that makes you wash yourself, brush your teeth, shave (well shave is already included), etc?

Workshop has a lot of things, but basic hygiene is apparantly not important to people...

The effects of bad hygiene is that your BO could attract Zeds from further away for example. Or that you can get sick quicker...

Unfortunately, I am not a coder, or I would have created this myself :/

Washing your hands is also already a Vanilla game mechanic.

DayZ being a sandbox survival game, you can quite easily just pretend to need a bath once a day, strip off your gear and jump in a creek for 3 minutes.
- If the idea is that you are going to get the bath, you don't need the "consequences" of being "stinky" for the Infected to smell you .. just bathe daily.

Edit: for clarity, I am not dismissing your idea, just offering a way for you to Role Play that without a mod .. Since the game has no mechanic for "smell", you would not be able to simulate Body Odor with a mod anyway.

I hear ya, washing hands and shaving is in the game. One of the mods my server is running is also for example BaseBuildingPlus with the itempack, that itempack has a toilet. And I know there are toilet mods all over the place, but this brought me to the idea of hygiene in general... ;)

If there are any mod creators out there reading this and thinking.. LIEK OMG!!1, please let me know if you are going to work on such a thing. Would be greatly appreciated.

Incan think of TerjeMedicine which I run on my server along with TerjeRadiation. It has soap and a shower (and a car wash). IP to server in my profile if you want to check it, it's overwhelming a bit at first I admit.
