📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 4,740 endorsements and 1.7M downloads show it's a go-to mod.
- Actively maintained: last updated February 2025, so it's compatible with recent game patches.
- Rewritten from scratch for stability and compatibility with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Purely cosmetic—if you want gameplay changes, this isn't for you.
- Requires the original Ultimate Potion mod as a base, so you need to install that first.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Ultimate Potion mod installed first, as this NG version is a rewrite of it.
- If you're on Skyrim AE, double-check that your game version matches the mod's requirements—it's built for current SE and AE.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files and keep your load order clean.
