WHAT DOES IT DO?
-
[]Lets the user customise drop rates for herb nodes and Optimal Cutting Perk.
[
]Fixes Changes a lot of Optimal Cutting Perk bonus drops which would give only bonus Elfroot instead of the herb you were harvesting.The default settings in the game are;
Optimal Cutting Probability 10%
Optimal Cutting Min 1
Optimal Cutting Max 9
So if you just want the "Fixes", you can use those settings for a more vanilla experience.

If you're a Frosty Mod Manager user, bear in mind that I don't use it, can't test it and don't guarantee that it'll work.
FROSTY FIX
The affected herbs are as follows;
amrita vein
crystal grace
dragonthorn
ghoulsbeard
phrophets laurel
rashvine nettle
royale elfroot
witherstalk
INCOMPATIBLE WITH...
Things that edit da3/equipment/loot/crafting/ltdp_gather_herb_<herbname> files.
This mod should be compatible with Moreloot, MoreFadeLoot etc. They edit the bags and sacks that contain herbs, but not herb nodes.
SAVING SETTINGS
If you want to try to save your settings between merges, you can edit the Daimod file with Notepad++ because it saves the weird characters correctly (other text editors don't).

Svarty's Better Herb Nodes lets you customize herb node drop rates and the Optimal Cutting Perk, addressing a possible bug with the perk. A crafting-focused tweak for Skyrim players who want more control over herb gathering.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 251 endorsements
- Addresses a specific perk bug that can annoy alchemists
- Gives you control over herb yields, perfect for potion crafters
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates
- Limited to herb nodes only, so if you wanted other crafting tweaks, this won't cover them
For Skyrim alchemists who are tired of inconsistent herb yields and want to tweak the Optimal Cutting perk. Also for players who want to fix that perk bug without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for broader crafting changes or don't care about herb gathering.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder.
- Check if you have any other mods that alter the Optimal Cutting perk, as they might conflict.
- Test the drop rates on a few nodes to see if the changes feel right before committing to a playthrough.
