📋 About This Mod
Makes Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul and xXAwesome_PotionsXx SSE work together, combining the models from Awesome Potions with the CACO effects. Mod has been flagged as ESL as to not count towards the 255 ESP/ESM limit.
Additionally I have made a patch for Mystic Condenser and Spooky Philter of the Phantom, these can be found in the optional files.
INSTALLATION
Install via a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex, make sure PotionsCACOPatch.esp is loaded after Complete Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul.
If installing the Mystic Condenser Patch (just a single name change really), load that after PotionsCACOPatch.esp.
If installing the Spooky Philter of the Phantom Patch, load that after PotionsCACOPatch.esp.
This patch merges xXAwesome_PotionsXx SSE with Complete Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul, using Awesome Potions' models with CACO effects. It includes optional patches for Mystic Condenser and Spooky Philter of the Phantom. With 268 endorsements and 23,440 downloads, it's a niche but proven compatibility fix for Skyrim modders.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid track record: 268 endorsements and 23,440 downloads show it's trusted
- Does exactly what it says—merges two popular mods without conflicts
- Extra patches for Mystic Condenser and Spooky Philter add value
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not work with newer versions of CACO or Awesome Potions
- Requires two other mods, so it's not a standalone fix
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter potion models or effects
For Skyrim modders who use both CACO and Awesome Potions and want the visual upgrade without losing CACO's gameplay changes. Skip if you don't use both mods or prefer one over the other.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both CACO and Awesome Potions installed before adding this patch
- Load this patch after both mods in your load order to ensure it overrides correctly
- If you use Mystic Condenser or Spooky Philter, grab those optional patches too
