📋 About This Mod
Combine lesser vanilla potions and poisons into upgraded versions.
Upgrade Old Potions adds crafting recipes to food stations that let you combine three lesser potions into one next-tier potion, or two poisons into a stronger poison. It's a simple quality-of-life mod for Skyrim players who hoard low-tier alchemy items and want to reduce inventory weight without wasting them.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 348 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Simple and lightweight—just adds recipes, no script bloat or heavy changes.
- Solves the 'too many weak potions' problem without making them useless.
⚠️ Cons
- Not efficient in terms of total healing—you get less overall effect per ingredient.
- Only works on vanilla potions; modded potions won't be supported.
- Requires access to a cooking station, which might be inconvenient mid-dungeon.
For Skyrim players who hoard every potion they find and hate leaving loot behind. If you're a completionist who wants to clear out your inventory without wasting items, this is a neat QoL tweak. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely a convenience mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a cooking pot or any food crafting station—recipes are added there, not at alchemy tables.
- Combine three weak potions into one stronger one to save carry weight, but remember you lose total healing.
- Works with any vanilla potion that has multiple tiers, so check your inventory for lesser/plainer versions.
