📋 About This Mod

Description

  • []Potions in Apothecary were changed so they restore over time rather than instantly.

    []This isn't an issue on its own, but it renders potions useless when using faster-paced combat overhauls.

    []This tweak restores values of health, magicka, and stamina potions to vanilla values.

    []To prevent potion spamming, use a mod like ZUPA.

FAQ

  • []There is already another mod that does this!

The other mod breaks the prices for potions and doesn't affect player-made potions. This mod doesn't have those issues.

  • []This is too OP!

As I mentioned earlier, you can use mods like ZUPA to prevent spamming. Apothecary's solution to spamming was to make

potions restore over time, but this doesn't work for fast-paced combat, so I made this.

Apothecary - Vanilla Potion Restore is a small compatibility patch that reverts Apothecary's health, magicka, and stamina potions to vanilla instant restoration values, ideal for fast-paced combat. With 89 endorsements and 46,839 downloads, it's a niche fix for players who find Apothecary's over-time healing too slow. Last updated in November 2022.

✨ Key Features

ESP-FE plugin for efficient load order placement.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid track record with 89 endorsements and over 46k downloads.
  • Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just instant potions.
  • ESP-FE means it won't eat up your plugin limit.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Apothecary—if you don't use that mod, this is useless.
  • Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with newer Apothecary versions.
  • Niche fix; if you actually like Apothecary's slower restoration, skip it.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who use Apothecary but miss the vanilla instant potion chugging in combat. If you're a fast-paced fighter who can't wait for gradual healing, this is your patch. Skip if you prefer Apothecary's original design or don't use Apothecary at all.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure Apothecary is installed before adding this patch, and load it after Apothecary in your mod order.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the ESP-FE plugin—it'll sort itself correctly.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, verify your Apothecary version matches the patch's compatibility (check the mod page for updates).
