Don't you find it disappointing that the potions you make in Skyrim have generic names and generic models?

This mod changes the crafted potion model and name to match the closest level loot potion.

This mod also allows multiple effect potions to be displayed clearly, such as adding a suffix to the name, as well as changing how impure potion values ​​are calculated.

feature:

Match crafted potion names to leveled loot potions

In vanilla, all crafted potions have the same common name: "Primary Potion/Poison".

The name does not indicate the potion's potency. For example, whether the player is a novice or a master of alchemy, a crafted potion of Restoration of Life will always be called a "Potion of Restoration of Life."

With this mod, the name of the potion you craft will be changed to match the closest potion in leveled loot. For example, a health-restoring potion crafted by a novice alchemist player would be called a "Minor Healing Potion," while a potion crafted by a master alchemist would be called an "Extreme Healing Potion."

Match crafted potion models with leveled loot potions

In Vanilla, all crafted potions have the same generic 3D model. (All potions use the "Light Healing Potion" grid, and all poisons use the "Weak Stamina Potion" grid.)

The model provides no information about potions. For example, a crafted antifreeze potion will always have the same model, with no indication of the potion's effects or its potency.

With this mod, the model of the potion you craft will be changed to the closest match to a flat loot potion. For example, the model for a crafted antifreeze potion would be the model of one of the "hardy potions" found in leveling loot (the model depends on the strength of the crafted potion), rather than the standard "small healing potion" model.

Suffixes in drug names for better distinction

The problem with vanilla extract potions is that there is no discernible difference between a potion that has a single benefit and a potion that has multiple benefits. You actually have to read the description of the potion to figure it out.

This mod can add the suffix "mixed" to potions with multiple effects, and the suffix "impure" to impure potions (potions with beneficial and harmful effects). This makes it easier to distinguish between potions.

Taking it a step further, my mod allows all effects to be used in that potion's name (for hybrid and impure potions) so that you can tell which potion is which at a glance.

Because all this extra information can make a potion name very long, you can choose to use an abbreviation instead of the full potion name, and trim the name when it exceeds a certain number of characters (to prevent UI clutter).

valuable impure potion

This feature requires SKSE version-dependent plugins, see the "Requirements and (un)installation" section.

An impure potion is a potion that is both beneficial and harmful. In vanilla, their gold value is calculated by adding all effect costs together, making these potions very valuable and often used to easily improve alchemy skills or get rich quickly.

I think those potions should be less valuable than regular potions. No one is more harmful than wanting to improve an opponent or a potion. Alchemists viewed impure potions as failures, not successes.

My mod has an option to subtract opposing effect costs to determine the gold value of an impure potion, rather than adding them. The value of impure poison gold is then equal to the sum of the costs of its harmful effects minus the sum of the costs of its beneficial effects (and vice versa for beneficial potions).

What about experience? Experience gain in alchemy depends on the gold value of the potion, so impure potions will make you gain less experience (they were a …
