📋 About This Mod
Fixes a bug where custom enchantments might not be applied when an item is equipped. This issue only occurs under certain conditions, most notably when:
- The game equips an item automatically, for example when switching from bow to sword your shield might auto-equip and its effects won't apply
- Equipping items from follower inventory or storage container (chest)
- Equipping via papyrus EquipItem function (SKSE EquipItemEx is not affected), commonly used by follower/outfit management mods
The scope of this fix isn't limited to these conditions and there are probably other cases where the bug pops up. After an equip, it checks if enchantments that should be active are actually there and applies them accordingly. Works on the player and NPCs.
Installation

[]Use preferred mod manager or manually drop into <skyrim folder>\Data, no special steps required.

For Skyrim modders and players who use custom enchanted items and have noticed enchantments not applying when equipped. If you're tired of gear not working as intended, this fix is for you. Skip if you play vanilla or rarely use custom enchantments — you won't see any benefit.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through skse_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't load.
- Place the plugin in your Skyrim/Data folder (or use a mod manager) and ensure it's enabled in your load order.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod is compatible or look for a port — the original was made for classic Skyrim.
