📋 About This Mod
"Selective Transmute" makes it possible to choose which ore you want to transmute by allowing you to dual cast the transmute spell."More Expensive Transmute" modifies the ore cost of the transmute spell to use two ores to create a new one. A
This Skyrim Special Edition mod reworks the Transmute spell with two optional features: selective casting (regular casts turn iron to silver, dual casts turn silver to gold) and a more expensive version requiring two ores per transmutation. A combined version is available. Requires SSE v1.5.39+ and is incompatible with other Transmute mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 488 endorsements and over 7,700 downloads.
- Gives you control over which ore you transmute, saving time and frustration.
- Optional economy rebalance makes the spell less of a money printer.
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with any other mod that touches the transmute spell, so check your load order carefully.
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Dual casting requires the Alteration Dual Casting perk, which limits early-game use.
For Skyrim players who find the default Transmute spell tedious and want to choose which ore to convert. Also for those who want to reduce the spell's money-making exploit. Skip if you use other mods that alter Transmute or if you prefer the vanilla spell.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the mod easily.
- Check your load order with SSEEdit to ensure no other mods conflict with the Transmute spell.
- If you want both features, download the combined version instead of installing both separately.
