📋 About This Mod
You might have some mods installed that add perks with constant effects, for example, Ordinator smithing perks. Once you get the perk an active effect with the perk description will be shown in the active effects menu FOREVER even though you can click on the perk description to see the benefits.
Installation
Place in Data folder/ use mod manager.
Compatibility and Load Order
The FOMOD will auto-detect installed plugins that add similar effects. Check the Requirements for supported mods.
This mod only edits the magic effects to add the Hide in UI flag except when the effect has a lot of references, in which case the spell triggering the effect on the menu will also be patched with a duplicated hidden variant of the effect. For example, the werewolf spell. If you have an overhaul that affects Lycanthropy make sure you load it after my mod just to be safe.
I'll add more patches depending on what I use in my LO. I won't be adding patches for mods I don't use

💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install this—it's a simple drop-in, but a manager makes it easy to uninstall if you don't like it.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure you grab the correct version for your game (SE vs. AE) to avoid issues.
- Check your load order—this mod only touches the UI, so it should be placed after any major UI overhauls to ensure it works properly.
