I'm the author of Gluttonborn, a project dedicated to adding more food & drink to Skyrim. The next update I want to release is "A Ghost of an Update", introducing ghostly food items. The trouble is though, I would like to find out how to apply effect shaders to the food models. How is this done? Scripts? Quests? Any help would really be appreciated.

Some mod in mind to obtain less cartoonish potons flasks, something that resembles the pharmaceutical of yersteryear?

Hello, first off I want to apologise. My experience with mods up until now has purely been creating new clothing and skin textures for my own personal use. I'm not terribly familiar with the more technical aspects of scripting effects and the like, although I do have some basic coding knowledge. I'm attempting to create a small mod that adds the thirst quenching effect from Dawnguard's Blood Potion to the Human Heart ingredient. Does anybody know if this is even possible given the limitations of the ingredient tag in Skyrim? If so, suggestions for where I could start to learn how to do that would be appreciated.

I normally use the steam workshop for modding skyrim for ease of use, but when I heard of the potions replacer mod from Loverslab I knew I wanted to try it. Problem is, there are no instructions for installing the mod. I'm trying to use NMM as from what I have read it makes it easier. It recognizes the files but they don't show up in game. The only time the mod partially worked it caused potions bottles to either turn invisible or be textured solid blue, though I'm not sure how I got it to that stage and have been unable to replicate it. Anyone else know of this mod and how to install in properly? I'm tearing my damn hair out at this point!

Think about this, what if you took a big jug, or cauldron, or something, and poured all of your healing potions into it. Then, all that goopy life juice got concentrated and put into a new SUPER potion that allows multiple uses depending on how much healing was supplied. You could also have different kinds to provide better healing per use, but at a higher cost. I know there are potion combiner mods, but I think this would be way cooler. Now I don't know a thing about modding, and I know this sounds a little out there, but I bet one of you talented bastards could pull it off.

Howdy, I'd like to request a mod that dynamically adjusts the weights of potions based on their magnitude. The goal is for a weight of magnitude/100 units. I don't know which approach would be best for this, but since it should cover both player made and premade potions, I'd assume a script based approach might work best ... For "bonus points" a mod manager menu where the factor by which the magnitude is divided can be set (1000 to 10) could be added. Thank you very much for your time and effort modders!

Hi guys I've searched for this special topic and haven't really found what I was looking for, so if I missed this, I'm really sorry. But what got in my mind is s.o. to create a potion which allows you have potions with an effect of 1000% or even more. At the moment it's the way I need to make an alchemy potion , after this an enchant potion after this, create clothing with alchemy enchant or other effects (e.g. smithing) , and do this again and again to get more percentage. If I could have a potion, I could buy for example in whiterrun which gives me 1000% enchant, it would save me hours. Already thank you

With the amount of potions that the Dragonborn and other NPCs gulp down, they'd all be in danger of over-hydrating, not to mention frequent toilet breaks. But jokes aside, I think it's strange that the potions in Skyrim are so massive; the largest of which being nearly 4 Litres (1 Gallon) in size. There are already mods out there that change the potion weight, but I was hoping for a mod that either changes the scale (and even the proportion) of existing potions to be more test tube or vial like, or even a replacement mesh (and texture) to make potions into literal vials. For the minor potions, I'd almost expect them to fit on a necklace like shown in the image. Some things may need to be taken into account, like the placement of potions in game. But if new meshes are being made, perhaps there's a way to "align" or "position" the mesh so that the base of the new bottle is in line with the old, and the bottles are simple shorter and skinnier. Thankfully, things like Skooma bottles, and the other drinks found in Solstheim are of the right scale. TL;DR: Potions in Skyrim are massive, I want them to all be scaled smaller, or to even have their meshes (and textures) replaced to something more "vial" like.

Hello everyone. My benefactor perk is not giving my characters the additional 25% percent bonus to alchemy. I've used console commands, tested on both my current lvl 51 and a fresh new character, and have tried making the skill legendary. My potions remain the same with/without the Benefactor perk.

I've noticed that there are other reported cases for perks not working. Unfortunately, any Google searches about Benefactor perk bugs tend to display the "Restoration potion glitch", which is completely unrelated and not something I want to do anyway. xD Just want to get my perk to work.

Hi, I'm looking for mod (or just a way how to do it ) that will change the way of using potions. In vanilla Skyrim (and in every mod that i found) effect of potion work immediately or like restoration potion: through some amount of time. My point is, to make potions that fortify some value (skill, resistance, health, etc.) work after some time. For example: I know that in some place there will be really hard fight with few mages and/or dragon, so I drink potion that gives 40 % resistance to fire. But still I need to wait hour or few, to reach maximum level of that. It's all because of overpowered alchemy in Skyrim (even with mods and legendary level). You can just drink potion directly before the battle and become unstoppable. I know that there are some mods that play animation when you use potion, but the effect of potion is still immediately. I need something that works after hour or few. It is possible to add this constant (or variable) delay to potions ? Thanks for Your Ideas. I spend couple of days to find something suitable and I didn't find.

I've been trying to do this for a while and my knowledge just doesn't go that far so I'm throwing it out there hoping somebody will pick it up and get er done.

Well,the title is quite self explanatory . It is quite bumming how useless the minor healing potions become later in the game , and it is immersion-breaking . Surprised that there is no such mod already . Depending on the poison or potion's strenght it would heal/damage 25%/50%/75%/100% . Example : Minor healing potion heals 25% of health , so it if useful even later in game , and you won't have drink 5 minor ones to heal even less of your health . Also lingering poisons would like , drain 2% each second for 5 seconds . I certainly hope this will be realized before TES:VI will be released .

Hello, I would like to propose a custom leveled potion to be added to Skyrim that creates a high damage short radius AoE (think the fireball spell with more damage) on the caster after a short (5 second) delay. The idea being that while two enemies are close to each other talking, the player would reverse pickpocket the potion into one of the enemies inventories, get away and then BAM! both enemies are at the very least damaged, if not both dead. As far how one obtains the potions, I've decided that the best way to implement them would be to have both Enthir (given the fact that he trades in black market goods, and has access to the College of Winterhold's resources, along with allowing magic-based characters to play with the potion) and Babette (given that she is with the Dark Brotherhood, and is an alchemy trainer/seller) allow the player to give them each Fire Salts and Dwarven Oil in groups of five at a time (or whatever the player has left that would fulfil the 1:1 ratio), to which the respective NPC will give the player five appropriately leveled Alchemical Fire potions. If the player has captions turned on, the respective NPC would mention that the explosive is fairly stable, as the two ingredients are seperated by a piece of cloth. All he/she has to do is shake the bottle (the player doesn't actually do this, it's simply implied whenever the player uses the potion), put it in someone's pocket, and get to a safe distance quickly, as the reaction will quickly go out-of-control, resulting in an explosion. The leveling of the potions would follow the same progression as heath potions do, being worded as: Crude Alchemical Fire (40 damage)Alchemical Fire (75 damage)Refined Alchemical Fire (100 damage)Crippling Alchemical Fire (175 damage)Vigorous Alchemical Fire (225 damage)Military-grade Alchemical Fire (300 damage)NOTE: Damage will probably need to be balanced. They should each one-shot enemies that are on the lower-end of what the player will face at a given level, for example, the Crude variant will one shot a level 1 bandit. I would suggest using the Skooma model for all variants (if possible, make the bottle more red-orange colored to reflect the ingredients inside), as the Skooma bottle is small and skinny, and would therefore be the most logical thing to use if you wanted to slip it in someone's pocket.

Hello, I'd like to make a potion that upon consumption, it will cause a fireball-like explosion (in fire damage, AoE, and visual effect) on the consumer (ideally, someone whom you reverse pickpocket the potion into) after a short delay. Unforunately, I haven't seen much in the way of how to make custom potions, so I am looking here for help. Thanks!

Hi, I've been working on adding standalone sorts of food and potions, but I couldn't find a way to change the description of a potion of food. I checked the CK wiki tutorial and googled a lot, yet none tells me how to change the descriptions of items in Potion Category. Does anyone knows? Also I have problems tweaking the damage of cloak spells and Wall spells( Flame cloak, Frost cloak, Wall of flames, Wall of Frost...etc) The effects of certain spells seemed to work differently from other spells. I checked their effects in Magic Effect category and found the damage value seemed to be always 50 by wall spells ( and 8 by Cloak spells)

I would like to be able to create potions with more then 3 ingredients in it. So instead of the normal "Ingredient, Ingredient, Optional" I would like it to have 2 or 3 optionals. This would allow for better and less tedious Healing (1 potion with all 3 healing effects) of more potent poisons (Weakness to multiple effects, or drain Health, Stamina and Magicka and the like). Is this even possible, or has is already been done? If so, please tell me, I can't seem to find it anywhere and I can't imagine no-one ever requested it before. With regards, Tealas

So, I recently reinstalled Oblivion,and have been trying to crack open Basic Primary Needs and modify the vampirism. In Basic needs, some extra features for vampires are added, such as the ability to have canteens full of blood. The problem is that, while the Blood Canteens fulfill Basic Needs' blood meter, they do not change your vampirism stage. When I drink a canteen as a stage 2 or above vampire, I do not revert back to stage 1, I stay my current stage. I wanted to make a mod that would add an effect to the canteens such that I would revert to level 1 when I drank. I tried this script: Begin ScriptEffectBegin player.HasVampireFed = 1 End But it did not work. I confirmed that the script was being called, but it did not revert my vampirism. Can anyone help me out with this?

Hi, i am new on this forum and i apologize if this question was asked before in another thread, cause i couldn't find anything yet. I want to make my game as immersive and "realistic" as possible, so i downloaded around 50 mods that work together just fine, except for realistic needs and diseases version 2.0 and the immersive potions mod. I like them both a lot, but when i turn on the potion mod, it overwrites the inebriation and decrease thirst effect of some alcoholic beverages and replaces the increase speed and drain stamina effect from skooma with the boring vanilla (restore stamina) effect. I tried other potion mods as well, but they all seem to have the same issue. Has anyone got a clue how to fix this or are they compatible at all? I would like to have potion effects over time without affecting food category items.

THE PROBLEM: Vanilla Skyrim's Alchemy interface lists potions all your ingredients are capable of making, but only for ingredients you are currently carrying. This means if you've only 1 ingredient to make a potion, it will list that potion, but have it greyed out and won't list what other ingredients you used to make it in the very likely chance you've forgotten. THE REQUEST: A mod that either... 1) Alters the vanilla Alchemy menu to list all the ingredients you've used for listed potions and simply grey out the ingredients you no longer have in your inventory or... 2) Provides a blank book that automatically records the ingredients used for every successful potion you make. Or both.

Was hoping someone could make an auto potion use system in the same vien of --Pip-Boy Intigrated Medical Package-- from fo3. Have seen some that just auto use options without giving ability to chose which ones to use. they also sometimes won't detect made potions instead using only bought or found potions.

I would like to see a mod where the potion/poison bottle are replaced with vials, which are more realistic and practical to carry than most of the bottles. There can be simple tube vials for regular potions and poisons and more elaborate designs for the special ones. For example: For the simple ones(magicka, health, stamina, etc.)(with their respective colors, of course) And for the special ones(invisibility, potent poisons, skill enhancers, etc.) I know it's a lot of work, but I think a lot of people would like it as a way to add realism and detail to the poisons and potions of skyrim.

Attempting to make alchemical effects that increase the magnitude of spells from a given school of magic instead of decreasing the cost (e.g. Bolster Destruction 100% would cause destruction spells to do double damage, Bolster Alteration 100% would cause Xflesh spells to increase armor rating by twice the usual amount). However, in practice these effects do absolutely nothing. Here's the Creation Kit panel for Bolster Destruction (I can't imagine the other schools of magic would be vastly different, save possibly for Conjuration) - if anyone can correct my errors or help figure out what I need to be doing, it would be much appreciated. Also on my list is a Detect Life effect (and Detect Undead), which also does nothing. Creation Kit panel here.

Hi guys, Been trying to use a custom potion (craftable at Chems bench) to trigger a scripted Magic Effect. While it works, it will only work like 5 or 6 times in a row, then I get the "You cannot do that now" message which prevents me to use it again for a few minutes, and than it'll work again. Just to be sure, I removed all conditions from my scripted effect, same result. Is there a cool down effect on all potion? Or is there some settings I should use to prevent that? Thanks in advance to any of you willing to share their experience!.. :) Cheers!

Heya! I know about the disguise mods out there but they're either script heavy or too simple... So, how about an alchemy and illusion based mod that turns you into a random generated NPC of the faction or guild you want to infiltrate based on your alchemy skill. To add a twist to this, the potion should only transform you for a set amount of time based on the alchemy skill level. Obviously, the higher the level/created potion, the longer the potion lasts.. But it would only put you at a base level of acceptance. If you interacted with a "hostile" NPC they'd most likely ignore you or become annoyed with you and then turn hostile. That's where Illusion comes in, If the illusion skill is high enough they'll treat you with varying degrees of kindness, using the affection system. Eventually letting you recruit them or "borrow" their belongings or even send them in to fight against their own. At the very pinnacle of this mod the potions could give buffs on top of the disguise that are typical to that faction. Using the Thalmor as an example, you'd be more skilled using conjuration and magic spells. How easily you can be found out/accepted could be scaled depending on the faction, putting "highly advanced and intelligent" Races/Factions at a more difficult level to infiltrate, where as common Bandits would be easier to fool. - Essentially, creating a ranking-based factions and guilds difficulty level.

Hi everyone, my idea would be to give a recipe to the player to craft a berserker potion. I know that potion under such name already exists which fortifies 2-H damage, but that isnt what I want. What I want is a potion which after consumed gives the player temporaly (nerfed since it would be a consumable and therefore usable multiple times a day) version of the racial ability of the orcs, THE BERSERKER'S RAGE!!! Such a potion would be frickin awesome, loosely based on history records in which norse warriors were recorded eating some shrooms ( in our case a potion) before battle which induced some sort of fit of rage in them during combat like being under a trance, and you could properly role-play a norse berserker in Skyrim. Ideally this potion and its recipe would be introduced to the player through a quest. Something along the lines of aiding a orc in trouble, which then leads you to the local stronghold where you help their shaman with some quests etc. untill you earn their trust when they share with you this awesome potion recipe? If you find this interesting and you are a modder, please think about creating this... If you know a modder, share this idea to him/her... THOUGHTS?
