📋 About This Mod
Rare Curios is a Creation Club content for Skyrim Special Edition that adds 51 ingredients from Morrowind, Oblivion, and Shivering Isles. Some of these ingredients have new effects from the previous games. The Creation also includes poisoned apples, Ayleid treasures, and new arrows and bolts. It was released on August 29, 2018 for 100 CC Credits.
About this mod
Khajiit merchants now have a larger selection of the rare items.
I didn't like the fact that the Khajiit traders sometimes only had two of the rare ingredients in their inventory. Yes, the ingredients are supposed to be rare, but that's just over the top.
This mod increases the number of different ingredients so the Khajiit traders now offer a wider variety.
Update 1. 1:
The damage done by poisoned apples has been tripled. It should now be possible to kill most enemies (like bandits) with just one apple.
Important Note:
You don't need to install this mod if you are using my mod The Treasure of Riverwood Manor as all the changes made here are included in that mod!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 730 endorsements and 288k downloads show it's a go-to for many players.
- Does exactly what it says: more rare ingredients from Khajiit vendors, no bloat.
- Lightweight and compatible — no dependencies or extra scripts to worry about.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- Only affects Khajiit merchants, so if you don't use them often, the impact is limited.
- No detailed documentation or patch notes provided, so you're on your own for troubleshooting.
For alchemists and completionists who are tired of hunting for rare ingredients like Nirnroot or Daedra hearts. If you regularly trade with Khajiit caravans, this mod is a no-brainer. Skip if you want broader changes to alchemy or merchant inventories.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod in your load order after any mods that alter merchant inventories to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the installation to keep your load order clean.
- Check that the mod is compatible with your Skyrim version (Special Edition or Anniversary) — if you're on the latest update, test it early.
