📋 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.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
