📋 About This Mod
(ESL) Some NPCs will be carrying alchemical loot satchels in their inventory thanks to SPID - when equipped, you'll receive some random alchemical ingredients
Alchemical Loot Boxes adds a loot satchel to Skyrim that grants 1-5 common, 1-2 uncommon, and one rare alchemy ingredient when equipped. It uses vanilla leveled lists for rarity, so it works with mod-added ingredients. Distributed via SPID, with configurable settings. ESL-flagged, lightweight, and compatible with most mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and performance-friendly—just one item and a tiny script, so it won't bloat your save.
- Works with any alchemy mod thanks to vanilla leveled lists—no need for patches.
- Community-tested with 130 endorsements and over 11k downloads, so it's proven stable.
⚠️ Cons
- Heavily dependent on leveled lists—if your modlist edits them, rewards can get whack without patching.
- SPID distribution might conflict with other mods that use SPID for NPC inventories, though the .ini helps.
- Only adds loot, not new ingredients—if you want new alchemy items, this won't help.
For Skyrim players who want a simple, lightweight way to get more alchemy ingredients from looting without overhauling the game. Perfect for alchemist characters or anyone who hates grinding for ingredients. Skip if you're looking for new alchemy content or major gameplay changes—this is purely a loot tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager, install via MO2 or Vortex for easy uninstallation.
- Check your leveled lists in xEdit if you have many mods that edit them—this mod's rewards depend on them.
- Tweak the SPID .ini to adjust spawn rates if you want more or fewer satchels.
