📋 About This Mod

Each Stone of Barenziah in your inventory gives you a small carry-weight bonus (10 points). Upon finishing the quest you'll get a permanent bonus of 250 cw points in addition to the vanilla reward (Prowler's Profit).

There are add-ons available HERE, if you want to have other values than the default 10 points.

The mod is absolutely compatible with everything. It makes no edits to the stones themselves or something like that. It just gives you a new perk, that adds the CW bonus.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This Skyrim mod makes every single Stone of Barenziah useful by granting a bonus for each one you collect, even if you never finish the quest. It's a simple quality-of-life tweak for players who want a reason to hunt down all 24 gems. With 1,126 endorsements and 158,456 downloads, it's a popular choice.

✨ Key Features

Grants a bonus for every Stone of Barenziah collected, regardless of quest completion.
Encourages exploration and gem hunting without requiring the full questline.
Lightweight mod with no major overhauls, just a tweak to existing mechanics.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,126 endorsements and over 158k downloads.
  • Gives a tangible reward for collecting each stone, making the tedious hunt worthwhile.
  • Works for players who skip the main quest but still want to grab those gems.

⚠️ Cons

  • May conflict with other mods that alter the Stones of Barenziah or their quest.
  • Bonus details are vague—no specifics on what each stone gives, so you'll have to test in-game.
  • Only affects the Stones of Barenziah; if you're not interested in that collectible, this mod does nothing for you.

For Skyrim players who love treasure hunting but hate the No Stone Unturned quest grind. Also for completionists who want every collectible to matter. Skip if you don't care about the Stones of Barenziah or prefer gameplay overhauls.
