📋 About This Mod
5_LPNaD-68c
Inspired from Learn Ingredients by MMX452, this mod takes an SKSE approach that works for all recipes with no need for patching!
Features:
-
[]Automatically learn ingredient effects when reading recipes
[
]Corrects all recipes to show the correct ingredients if the ingredient(s) is misspelled (ex: Sabre Cat Eyeball becomes Eye Of Sabre Cat) or if the ingredient doesn't actually fit the recipe (ex: Imp Eye Stool in a resist shock potion recipe doesn't have resist shock effect, gets changed to closest ingredient that does have resist shock)[]Compatible with both Skyrim VR and Skyrim Special Edition
[]Work for any recipe, not just vanilla ones!
- Leaves no lasting changes on save. Install/Uninstall/Update anytime
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with everything. Recipe texts have to follow the format that vanilla skyrim recipes use, as this mod parses the text directly.
Example format:
XXX Potion/Poison
~Ingredient Name
~Ingredient Name
Known Issues:
- Likely won't work very well with other languages besides English. This mod works by parsing the recipe text and matching the text to ingredients and potions directly.
