Effects is pluginless replacer.
Scrolls
-
[]White stars mark scrolls with multiply effects, 1 star for 1 effect[/]
[]Spells that affect creatures look the same as spells for humanoids[/]
Potions
-
[]Changed names (quality info moved to the end)[/]
[]Due to how tiny the spell icons are, some of them were made to look different starting from 128px version: progressively simpler, bolder and brighter[/]
[]Player-made potions are not affected[/]
For player-made potions, I recommend either:
-
[]upscaled vanilla icons, so they don't look bad in comparison[/]
[]or new models - a replacer [/]
[]or Of Bead and Feather (OpenMW) - new models with icons that show magic schools[/]

Known ssues
Hidden Killer and Vaermina's Promise scrolls still use vanilla icons despite everything, I don't know how to change that.

Descriptive Icon Pack replaces potion, scroll, and magic effect icons with clearer, more descriptive visuals across all sizes. A compact UI enhancement with 30 endorsements and 1,139 downloads, last updated May 2026. Includes Russian translation support.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Small but active community (30 endorsements, 1,139 downloads)
- Fresh update (May 2026) — likely compatible with current game version
- Covers three key item categories in one pack
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count means limited community feedback
- No explicit install instructions or compatibility notes provided
- Only affects icons — no gameplay or UI layout changes
For players who find default potion and scroll icons hard to distinguish at a glance. Also for Russian-speaking users who want localized icon descriptions. Skip if you're looking for a full UI overhaul — this is purely an icon replacement.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a specific mod manager or manual installation — the description doesn't specify, so read the mod page comments for user instructions.
- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to place it correctly in your load order (if applicable) to avoid conflicts with other icon mods.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the icons before installing to ensure they match your preference.
