📋 About This Mod
Description
If you are carrying a filled soul gem the weapons in your inventory will regenerate their charge over time. The better the soul level in the gem the faster it recharges.
The best soul gem in your inventory is chosen.
The quality of the soul in the gem matters not the soul gem itself (e.g. petty soul in grand soul gem is bad).
It charges quite slowly. The default values are:
Petty - 20% of weapon charge per 24h in-game time recharged
Lesser - 30%
Common - 50%
Greater - 100%
Grand - 150%
Trying to recharge multiple weapons at the same time will lower the rate at which you recharge. For example if you have 3 weapons requiring recharging it will charge each weapon at 1/3 of the speed.
This depends on the "timescale" setting of the game, as it counts 24 hours of in-game time.
If you wait or sleep the weapons keep charging.
Staves are recharged as well.
The "amount" of charge on a weapon does not matter, it will recharge by per cent. That means low quality Iron Dagger with a bad enchantment will take same amount of time to recharge as Ebony Mace with good enchantment.
You can configure most of the stuff with the configuration file.
Requirements
. NET Script Framework
Installing
Make sure the framework above is installed properly.
Install this mod with a mod manager or manually. The DLL file from this mod should go here:
Data/NetScriptFramework/Plugins/
It should be safe to install or uninstall mid-playthrough since this mod does not touch save-games in any way.
Uninstalling
Uninstall with your mod manager or remove the DLL file from above path.
Configuration
The configuration file is in /Data/NetScriptFramework/Plugins/WeaponCharge.config.txt and you can change these options:
PettyChargePercentPerDay - How many % of the weapon's full charge is restored per 24h of in-game time if your best soul in inventory is Petty.
Lesser / Common / Greater / Grand - Same as above but for other levels of soul.
MultipleWeaponsChargeSlower - Set false if you want all weapons to always receive the full amount of charging instead of splitting between them.
SoulGemStacking - Instead of choosing one best soul gem it will stack all soul gems in your inventory. This is kind of cheaty and annoying to have to carry around soul gems. Enable if you like.
OnlyRechargeEquippedWeapons - This can be helpful if you pick up loot and don't want random trash in your inventory to take away the charge sp
Passive Enchantment Recharging lets you recharge weapon enchantments automatically by carrying a filled soul gem. A quality-of-life mod for Skyrim players who find manual recharging tedious. With 352 endorsements and 6,307 downloads, it's a well-received utility.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from the annoying menu-diving every time your sword runs dry.
- Solid community trust with 352 endorsements and 6k downloads.
- Tiny quality-of-life tweak that fits seamlessly into any load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Could make soul gems drain faster than you expect, especially if you're not paying attention.
- No compatibility patches listed, so it might conflict with other enchantment overhauls.
For Skyrim players who hate the constant pause-and-recharge dance and just want their weapons to stay topped off. If you're a mage or warrior who relies on enchanted gear, this is a must-have. Skip if you enjoy the micromanagement or use mods that overhaul the enchanting system.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're carrying at least one filled soul gem—empty ones won't do anything.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, just drop the file in and enable it; load order rarely matters for simple tweaks like this.
- Pair this with a mod that auto-fills soul gems (like Soul Trap tweaks) for a truly hands-off experience.
