📋 About This Mod
What do the patches do?
Some Mihail's mods add ingredients or ingestibles (food) into the game, usually as a loot from the added creatures. These patches make them be compatible (and consistent) with Apothecary / Apothecary Food. The patches for Apothecary Food are automatically compatible with Survival Mode (but they don't need Survival Mode to work). The mod contains a FOMOD allowing you to choose what exactly you want to install.

Some details / design philosophy (very minor spoilers about ingredients effects):
Old Gods adds an ingredient with just one (very strong) effect. I made two patches for it - patch 1 keeps one strong effect, patch 2 gives it 4 balanced effects.
Generally many of the ingredients in Mihail's mods have different strengths/durations than vanilla ingredients. Some ingredients have just 1, 2 or 3 effects. However in Apothecary all ingredients have the same strength/durations and they all have 4 effects. I prefer my ingredients to be consistent, so what I did is the following:
-
[]If an ingredient originally had 2 or 3 effects, I added 2 or 1 effect (my choice) so that the ingredient has 4 effects.
[]If an ingredient originally had 1 effect, I consider it "special" and I kept the one effect.
[]Regardless, I balanced all effects to be in line with Apothecary (which somewhat nerfs the ingredients).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche pick with 131 endorsements and 14k downloads—clearly fills a need for Apothecary users.
- Directly solves compatibility headaches between Mihail's creatures and Apothecary's food/alchemy systems.
- Actively maintained as of late 2022, so it's not abandoned.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Mihail's creature mods—if you use other creature mods, you're out of luck.
- Requires both Apothecary and Apothecary Food installed, plus the specific Mihail mods you want patched—setup can get heavy.
- No patch list or compatibility notes in the description, so you'll need to dig through files to see what's covered.
For Skyrim modders running Mihail's creature mods alongside Apothecary and Apothecary Food who want those systems to play nice. Skip if you don't use Apothecary or if you're not into Mihail's creature packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install these patches—manual install can mess up load order.
- Make sure the patches load after both Apothecary and the Mihail mods they patch, or the changes won't apply.
- Check the mod's files tab to see which Mihail mods are currently covered before downloading.
