📋 About This Mod
This version of the mod is old the new version can be found here
This is the SE version of Kats Smelt everything, It's a simple mod and should not conflict with anything that dose not edit smeltable items.
Almost all generic none pre-enchanted armor, weapons, arrows, clutter and Dwarven items can be melted down into ingots of the matching material, IE iron sword = iron ingot etc. Just like Item Recycling items can't be melted down if equipped, unless they're a weapon in your left hand. Items do not show up in the smelters window unless you have the item in question (this includes the vanilla smelt-able Dwarven items).
2 Daggers = 1 ingot
1 Sword = 1 ingot
1 Mace = 1 ingot
1 War Axe = 1 ingot
1 Warhammer = 2 ingots
1 Battle Axe = 2 ingots
1 Greatsword = 3 ingots
1 Bow = 2 ingots
30 Arrows = 1 ingot
1 Chest Piece = 3 ingots
1 Gauntlet Set = 1 ingot
1 Boot Set = 2 ingots
1 Shield = 2 ingots
1 helmet = 2 ingots
*Bonemold items do not fallow this mold and instead give you around half the Bonemeal needed to make them.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 619 endorsements and over 14k downloads, so it's proven useful.
- Simple concept that adds a recycling loop without adding new items or complex mechanics.
- Designed to avoid conflicts with mods that don't edit smeltable items, so it's fairly safe to add.
⚠️ Cons
- This is an old version; the author points to a new version elsewhere, so you might be missing updates or fixes.
- Items equipped can't be smelted (except left-hand weapons), which can be annoying if you want to recycle gear you're wearing.
- Bonemold items give only half the bonemeal, which might feel underwhelming if you rely on that material.
For Skyrim SE players who want to turn junk loot into useful ingots without installing a full overhaul. It's great for hoarders and crafters who hate leaving loot behind. Skip if you want a more comprehensive recycling mod with new mechanics or if you prefer to stick to the latest version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is an older version, check the mod page for the new version link to get the latest fixes.
- Remember that items must be in your inventory to show up in the smelter menu, so don't expect to see all smeltable items listed.
- If you're using a mod manager, install this as a simple ESP; it shouldn't need special load order placement, but keep it after any mods that alter smelting recipes.
