This mod is based on the now "obsolete" and unsupported mod ACQUISITIVE SOUL GEMS. In fact, it's almost the same mod. Just like with that one, this mod makes it so you never trap anything less than the maximum size soul a Soul Gem can handle.
"Almost the same mod? What's the difference?", you say?
ASGM has localization, which means that the mod is in your language, not just English.
Supported languages are Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, and Spanish.
If SKSE is installed, which is required by SkyUI, Internationalization will be enabled automagically when the ASGM MCM menu is opened.
(Thanks go to dodo007777, Ulrik, archerarcher, Oktober, lolikyonyu, Keresh, adelinadragonborn, and Jokerine for their work on the translations.)
(Thanks also go to irasik, Zwizzor, Ranua, and DemiMaxzu for the translations for the new feature added in v4. 6)
If SKSE is not installed, all messages will only be in English.
ASG requires USLEEP to work now, while ASGM is dependency free. I don't really consider this a big deal, since most of you should have USLEEP
anyway, and if you don't, I recommend getting it. It's a really useful patch. Much love.
(Even if I do hate the fact that the acronym makes it sound like a sleep mod.)
(ASG 3. 0 and later can also handle multiple Soul Traps at the same time, and no longer needs compatibility
patches, so that's no longer a difference.)
Here's a video showing the difference between how Soul Trapping looks in Vanilla, old versions of ASG, and, finally, ASGM and ASG 3. 0:

Personally, I think the mod's staggering trap effect is much cooler than vanilla's all-at-once thing.
Brand new with v4. 6. 6 is the ability to tell ASGM about any non-Vanilla soul gem items that were added by a mod by simply placing a json file in a certain folder. This is more for modders than for users, but literally anyone can make the needed file, so if the author of your mod hasn't made an ASGM json file for the soul gems added by that mod, feel free to do it yourself, and pm the file to the author so (s)he can include it in the mod!
Details are in the readme file.
Finally, and most importantly, IMO, ASGM has options. With ASG, Black Soul Gems can only harvest Black Souls, and that's also true of the Black Star, and Azura's Star isn't restricted to only being "full" like the regu
Acquisitive Soul Gems Multithreaded is a Skyrim mod that alters soul trap mechanics so you never underfill a soul gem, supports trapping multiple souls simultaneously, and requires no compatibility patches for other mods. It's a quality-of-life improvement for players who find vanilla soul gem management tedious.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 7,930 endorsements and 168k downloads.
- Fixes a classic annoyance—no more wasted soul gems from mismatched souls.
- Multithreaded approach means you can capture several souls in one go, saving time.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022—might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
- If you're using other soul gem overhauls, you'll need to test for conflicts despite the 'no patches' claim.
For Skyrim players who hate micromanaging soul gems and want a smoother enchanting experience. Also great for mage builds that rely heavily on soul trap. Skip if you prefer vanilla mechanics or use mods that drastically alter soul gem behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the plugin in your load order after other magic mods to ensure it takes effect.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test with a low-level soul trap spell first to confirm the multi-soul feature works as expected.
