📋 About This Mod
"Alchemy is simple. Unless, of course, you are simple. Then I can't help you."
- Description -
The White Phial is an alchemy shop located in the market district of Windhelm. It is operated by an Altmer named Nurelion and his apprentice Quintus Navale. The White Phial is named after an ancient alchemical relic of the same name that is said to be crafted from the first snow to fall on the Throat of the World. Nurelion chose this name in hopes that someone would visit with word of the phial's whereabouts. He spent his entire life searching for it.
- Installation - - Make sure your version of HS Resources is up to date, if not, download and install the latest release, this is a mandatory requirement and you might be missing some items if you're using an outdated version. Make sure to track the mod as well so you get notified of any update.
- Use a mod manager software such as Vortex, install, enable the mod and voilà!
- Or drop the content of the archive into your "Skyrim Special Edition\Data" folder
The Loot auto-sort should take care of the rest, but if I'm a bit behind in committing the rules for the newly released mods or if you want to mess around your Load Order on your own it is recommended to load this mod fairly late in the LO to prevent any other mods to mess with visual elements of the cell, patches might be required in some cases but I will not be making them myself unless I'm personally using the mod.
Add-ons included in the optional files :
- A Compatibility patch disabling ELFX changes made to the cell edited by this mod.
- A Compatibility patch disabling LUX changes made to the cell edited by this mod.
- A Compatibility patch for USSEP.
- A Compatibility patch for IC.
- Compatibility - If I get the chance, I shall list below some of the mods that have been reported as incompatible and requiring patching, I will not be making any patches myself as mentioned in my FAQ.
- Disclaimer - The mod as well as the patches are ESL flagged. I will not be releasing variants or All-In-One versions of these mods since that will go against the "modular" philosophy behind them, letting you pick and choose which location you want to install and having multiple version of the same thing would quickly make this a nightmare to maintain.
"I hope you
