📋 About This Mod
What is it (and why)?
This is a simple mod to let you grind mammoth tusks down into powdered mammoth tusk at a grain mill. It is a simple, small mod that I created because it made sense. Powdered mammoth tusk is rarely sold by apothecaries and is otherwise difficult to find (for no reason as I see it).Compatibility
This mod works with every mod, there cannot be an incompatibility.

✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 1,000 endorsements and over 52,000 downloads.
- Fixes a real annoyance for alchemists who need powdered mammoth tusk.
- Simple and lightweight—doesn't bloat your load order.
⚠️ Cons

- Only adds a recipe—no new models, textures, or other features.

For Skyrim players who use alchemy and are tired of hunting mammoths for a rare ingredient. It's a must-have for completionists who want to craft every potion without grinding. Skip if you're not into alchemy or if you use a comprehensive crafting overhaul that already adds similar recipes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install—no extra steps needed.
- Make sure to load this mod after any crafting overhaul mods to ensure the recipe appears.
- You'll need a mammoth tusk and a smelter or tanning rack to grind it—check the mod's in-game crafting menu for the exact recipe.
