📋 About This Mod
You might have noticed this: in vanilla when you drink a Fortify Stamina / Magicka potion or equip an enchantment with that effect, they restore same amount to the current pool. This does not make sense to me, but leaving that aside, this behavior opens up an exploit where you can keep equipping / unequipping a gear with those effects to get an endless supply of Magicka or Stamina.
This mod prevents that automatic refill, so Fortify effects only increase the maximum value and do not grant free Magicka or Stamina.
Compatibility
Compatible with all mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny fix that solves a real annoyance—no more accidental attribute refill when you just want a buff.
- Solid community trust (151 endorsements) and high download count (76k) for a niche fix.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly one thing without touching other mechanics.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses Fortify Stamina and Magicka—Fortify Health is left untouched, so you'll still get that refill.
- Requires Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) to work, so it's not for vanilla purists.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter potion or enchantment effects—test with your load order.
For Skyrim players who are tired of chugging a Fortify Stamina potion mid-fight and getting a full stamina bar instead of just the buff. If you're a modded playthrough veteran, this is a must-have quality-of-life fix. Skip it if you never use Fortify potions or enchantments.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE, not the default launcher, or the fix won't load.
- Place the mod in your mod manager and let it overwrite any conflicting files—it's a simple plugin, so load order rarely matters.
- If you use other mods that change potion effects, test this fix early in your playthrough to ensure no conflicts.
