📋 About This Mod
Adds a book that lists all ingredients for the mod Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul.
Alchemical Studies adds a weightless in-game reference book to Skyrim Special Edition that reveals all ingredient effects from the Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (CACO) mod. It's placed in the Alchemist Shack, grants 1 alchemy skill point on pickup, and works with Unread Books Glow. For CACO users tired of tasting ingredients to learn effects.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from wasting ingredients just to learn what they do (520 endorsements)
- Weightless book means no inventory clutter
- Free alchemy skill point just for picking it up
⚠️ Cons
- Completely useless if you don't use CACO – vanilla alchemy players get nothing
- Only works with the Special Edition version of CACO, not Legendary
- Some players might see it as a cheat since it removes the discovery mechanic
For Skyrim SE players who run CACO and want a convenient reference without the hassle of trial-and-error alchemy. Also great for completionists who want that extra skill point. Skip if you play vanilla alchemy or prefer the challenge of discovering effects yourself.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CACO installed and loaded before adding this mod, or the book will be pointless.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install – it's a simple drop-in, but managing load order is easier.
- If you use Unread Books Glow, place this mod after it in your load order so the glow effect applies.
