📋 About This Mod
Get rid of small Souls
· - = | Description | = - ·
This mod allows you to remove souls from soul gems. Right clicking on any soul gem in your inventory opens a container. Drop the soul gems you want to empty in there, close your inventory and wait a moment. You will recieve empty soul gems.
This works with pre-filled gems as well, so if you find that grand soul gem with a petty soul inside, just get rid of that junk!
On the other hand, you have an empty soul gem and catch a grand soul, and the price doesn't change? No more! Now you can convert the soul gems you just filled to the pre-filled ones found in the Construction Set.
An optional file is available, meant to be merged into the bashed patch (though it can be used without the bashed patch, if you have nothing that changes soul gem graphics). It will change the prices of the pre-filled soul gems to be price of empty gem + price of soul. This will make buying pre-filled ones less exploitable (a grand soul gem with petty soul would cost 40 before, now 240), but also give guaranteed profit by selling filled gems vs empty gems (empty petty gem sells for 10, filled petty gem sells for 50).

If you use this mod's convert function on soul gems from mods, they will be converted to vanilla ones.
When emptying a mod added soul gem that is pre-filled, it will be converted into a vanilla one as well.
Best advice, if you have a super pretty soul gem you'd hate to lose, don't use this mod on it.
If you know any mods that add special soul gems, please let me know, so I can add exceptions.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Dead simple: right-click and the soul is gone, no console commands needed.
- Community-approved with 188 endorsements and 5,715 downloads—people actually use this.
- No scripts or heavy dependencies, so it's safe to add mid-playthrough.
⚠️ Cons
- Only does one thing—if you wanted to transfer souls or auto-fill, this isn't it.
- No MCM or settings, so you can't customize which gems are affected.
- Last updated in August 2024—might not be compatible with future Skyrim updates, but fine for now.
For Skyrim players who hate seeing a filled petty soul gem cluttering their inventory when they need a grand one. If you're a hoarder or a mage who crafts enchanted gear, this saves you the hassle of dropping or selling gems. Skip if you want deeper soul management features—this is purely a quick-fix utility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the mod enabled in your load order, then just right-click any filled soul gem in your inventory to clear it.
- Works with any soul gem, but remember that removing a soul destroys the gem's charge—you'll need to refill it before using it for enchanting.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, deploy the mod and it'll work immediately; no need to start a new game.
