In mid-2019, I published a mod called Souls Do Things. It was designed as a lightweight means of making dragon souls useful. While the mod was perfectly playable in my own games, a common request I got after uploading it was the need for an MCM menu fo convenience. It was a valid suggestion, as the original mod handled settings through globals set via console commands. However, I was relatively new to coding, and I found it tedious that in order to make an MCM menu, I would have to change almost all of how the various perks, spells and magic effects interacted with each other to some extent.
6 months after I released that mod, I finally found the time and motivation to give it a new crack. So here we are.
Souls Do Things 2 is my take on making excess dragon souls useful, ported from LE to SE. Stockpiled souls increase power attack damage, shout magnitude, stats, and more. Lose souls on death to revive, or convert souls into perk points. More features in the works.
Update 4. 0: Major Overhaul and Enhancements (Upload incoming)
[]Script Rewrite for Compatibility: All scripts have been rewritten from the ground up to improve compatibility with other mods.
[]Improved Revive Compatibility: Revival system now checks for mods that handle bleedout mechanics or set the player as essential.
[]Revamped MCM Interface: MCM menu has been reorganized to display actual scaling values for all settings. Settings no longer require a page refresh.
[]Dragon Priest Masks Overhaul: Dragon Priest Masks updated with new (more balanced?) effects.
[]Dungeon Reset Removal: The experimental dungeon reset feature has been removed due to unreliable respawn handling.
[]Oghma Infinium Choice Reset: Dragon Souls can now be spent to redo your Oghma Infinium choice.
[]Aetherium Artifacts Reforging: Use Dragon Souls to disassemble and reforge Aetherium artifacts at the Aetherium Forge.
[]Updated Bow Attunement Effects: Bow attunement effects have been reworked with improved balance and new mesh looks.
[]Farengar's Notes:[/
Souls Do Things 2 SE is a gameplay overhaul for Skyrim Special Edition that gives excess dragon souls practical uses. It lets you spend stockpiled souls to boost power attacks, extend shout duration and power, revive on death by consuming souls, or convert them into perk points. Ported from Legendary Edition, it's a popular utility mod with over 1,000 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,011 endorsements and nearly 90k downloads.
- Turns late-game soul hoarding into meaningful combat and progression choices.
- Revive mechanic adds a risk-reward layer to tough fights.
⚠️ Cons
- Only a handful of features so far; more are promised but not yet delivered.
- Ported from LE, so expect potential quirks on the SE engine.
- May conflict with other mods that alter shout mechanics or perk systems.
For Skyrim players who've killed dozens of dragons and have hundreds of souls sitting useless in their inventory. If you want a reason to keep hunting dragons and a safety net for hard encounters, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla progression or don't want extra systems layered on top.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep your load order clean.
- Check the mod's page for any patches if you use other shout or perk overhauls.
- Test the revive mechanic in a safe save to see how it interacts with your death system.
