describe
This mod was inspired by similar mods. Skyrim Alchemy, Alchemical Potions and Ingredient Adjustments, and Elegy. They've all done a great job improving Skyrim's alchemy system, but unfortunately they need some patches to get several other mods to work properly. This mode directly edits potions and magic effects, and it only indirectly edits the potions/ingredients themselves and applies additional bonuses to the player.
feature
Most empowering and resisting effects have twice the duration of potions.
The duration of the enhanced speech effect on potions is 5 times longer.
Enhanced Armor Elixir has been changed to Enhanced Armor Level, with a duration of 4x.
Fortification magic has been changed to strengthen weapons.
Strengthening Magic Potions were changed to Strengthening Magic, which increases magic effects while reducing weapon effects. You must wait for this effect to wear off in order to obtain the enchanted item.
Fortified Alchemy spells were changed to Fortified Potions, which increases the number of potions while reducing their duration. These items must be unequipped to create potions.
Restoration potions applied for longer than 5 seconds do not stack (like Skyrim Alchemy fixed).
The values of alchemical effects have been reduced across the board (such as SkyRIM, Alchemy, Immobilization and Elegy).
Alchemy experience no longer scales with potion value (like Elegy).
Skuma is now a food item that restores 50 stamina according to weapons, armor, clothing and clutter repairs, according to Eli.
compatibility
Fully compatible with almost anything, as long as the loading order is correct. Only a trivial patch is needed to use additional functional modules like ordinate. Using it with other similar alchemical overhauls may produce undesirable results.
This module should be loaded after any modification to Fortify smithing or Fortify magic effects, such as Late Summer - Wonders of the Sky. If in doubt, install it later.
Recommended MODS
Armor level remaining
Elegy (This module is a drop-in replacement for restoring potion duration + no enhancement bonus.)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
