Crush the soul gems you don't need and incorporate them into the ones you do!

Soul Salt - Soulgem Mod!

Ever wanted to turn those little soul gems into big gems? Yes me too, so I made this mod. The main feature of this mod is a new ingredient you craft with existing soul gems or shards: Soul Salts. Soul Salts can be used to create new Soul Gems, or you can use them to craft powerful potions. You need to have the Arcane Blacksmith perk before crafting gems in the smelter, but there are no restrictions on grinding gems.

This new ingredient can also be added cleanly to level lists so that soul salts will appear wherever rare alchemical ingredients can be found, be it vendors or sworn enemies, chests, etc.

The next update will include a fomod for the weightless soul salt variant, a version without the black soul gem crafting recipe (lore friendly), and anything else I think of in the meantime. I'm not sure when I'll be able to finish that, but hopefully within this month at least. The model is now fully functional and works perfectly with my knowledge. - Finish

compatibility:

This mod should be compatible with every other mod. I know I've used several other soul gem mods and it works well with them.

Nothing has been changed in the base game either, so for something to be incompatible there has to be something really bad

Mammoth Hides - Adds mammoths to the game!

Powdered Mammoth Tusk Dropped by Giants - Adds powdered mammoth tusks to the giant's death list!

Perfect touch for basic NPCs - letting you pick up equipped items on necessary NPCs.

Rustic Soul Gems by Gamwich, I love the look of these. A must-have for anyone with an aesthetic mind.

The Greedy Soul Gem is multi-threaded by the Eye and is simply a must-have. My mod is a bit outdated as far as soul removal goes, but still.

The smelter's cracked and crafted soul gems are also made from eyes, almost identical to my mod, but if you think my approach is bad, I encourage you to check out his mod.

And of course

Misc Retexture Project by cunny1975, without this man my mod would be textureless. If you like good remakes, please at least consider his mod.

EAB961996’s Soul Gem Forging SE is another turning point in improving the Soul Gem. If you don't like the way my mod works, please check this mod.

Credit is due!

Cunny1975, used to create the textures for this mod. Thank you so much to this guy.

Haladoon, explain nif editing to me.

Wenderer, his fomod creation tool.

DarkX ShadowX21 on dafont for his well made (and free) skyrim esq font.

Soul Salts - A Soulgem Mod!

Ever wanted to turn those small soul gems into big ones? Yeah me too, so I made this mod. The main feature of this mod is the new ingredient that you craft with existing soul gems or shards: Soul Salts. Soul Salts can be used to make new soul gems, or you can use them to make powerful potions. You need to have the arcane blacksmith perk before you can craft the gems at a smelter, but there are no restrictions on grinding the gems up.

The new ingredient is also cleanly added to leveled lists such that the soul salts will show up anywhere you could find a rare alchemy ingredient, be it vendors or on dead enemies, chests, ect.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
