📋 About This Mod

Ever wondered what happens to the other 2 Deathbells after you harvest them, or 5 Nightshades, or a dozen of Flowers? Where do they go if you only harvest one, does the Dragonborn throw them away? Do you want to get an appropriate amount

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Harvest Overhaul is an alchemy overhaul for Skyrim that makes harvesting plants yield realistic amounts, so you get multiple Deathbells, Nightshades, and flowers instead of just one. It's a popular, long-standing mod with over 30k endorsements, though it hasn't been updated since 2014.

✨ Key Features

Harvesting plants yields multiple ingredients, such as 2 Deathbells or 5 Nightshades.
Addresses the immersion issue of only getting one ingredient from a plant with multiple visible items.
Overhauls alchemy harvesting to provide appropriate amounts based on what you see.
Highly endorsed with over 30,000 endorsements and nearly 690,000 downloads.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 30k endorsements and nearly 700k downloads—clearly a must-have for alchemy fans.
  • Fixes a long-standing immersion gripe: why do you get one flower when the plant clearly has more?
  • Simple concept, huge impact—makes alchemy gathering feel logical and rewarding.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2014—likely incompatible with Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
  • May conflict with other alchemy or harvesting mods that alter the same game data.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love alchemy and hate the unrealistic single-ingredient harvests. Also for immersion-focused roleplayers who want the world to make sense. Skip if you're on Special Edition or want modern mod support—this is an old classic that may need extra work.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check for a port or use a mod manager to ensure compatibility.
  • Load this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other alchemy overhauls.
  • Pair with a mod that shows harvest amounts in the UI to see the new yields in action.
