📋 About This Mod
ALCHEMY XP FIX
Requirements
Latest version of SKSE64
Visual C++ Redistributables 2022
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
Description
In vanilla, you don't get XP for learning ingredient effects if you learn them by making a potion.
This plugin fixes it so you get the appropriate XP for learning ingredients AND the XP for crafting potions (whenever you craft a potion). Note that the XP for learning new ingredients in vanilla is very low - mods such as Apothecary will increase this.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive adoption (989,988 downloads) shows it's a must-have for alchemy players.
- Simple, focused fix—does exactly what it says without bloat.
- Recent update (April 2024) means it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses one bug—if you're looking for broader alchemy improvements, this won't help.
- No detailed patch notes or compatibility info provided by the author.
For Skyrim players who rely on alchemy and want to earn XP fairly when discovering new ingredient effects. If you're a completionist or role-player who spends time brewing potions, this fix is essential. Skip if you rarely touch alchemy or prefer overhaul mods that change the system entirely.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install SKSE and SkyUI first—this mod depends on them, even though the description doesn't mention it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean and avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod that alters alchemy skill progression, test this fix in a new game or after disabling other alchemy mods to ensure compatibility.
