SKYRIMLE Learn Alchemy From Recipes

Learn Alchemy from Recipes by NeoRunek

 

I stumbled upon this mod whilst browsing the Nexus' immersion section. This is a fantastic little mod that allows you to learn recipes from those little notes you may stumble upon every now and then as well as the alchemy skill books De Rerum Dirennis and Herbalists Guide to Skyrim (both of these books have recipes within). Once you learn these recipes, the corresponding potion is displayed in the alchemy workbench's menu for you to make if you have the appropriate ingredients.

 

This is a great little mod that should have been in the vanilla game anyway. It is by no stretch of the imagination game or immersion breaking (in fact, if anything, it is game and lore enhancing).

Looks good. I'd love it if there were an interesting alchemy overhaul both more mysterious and balanced - but that's not really a STEP issue!

This is certainly a very good mod idea. Did anyone test it so far?

Yes, to that question from three years ago :)  It seemed to work quite well.  Alchemy is pretty confusing and hard to work, but just gaining the knowledge from recipes was nice.  I think I would have preferred fewer recipes in the merchants inventories.  I have a vague memory that the books were pretty extensive and illustrated, maybe a bit too wordy, but that was fine.  

 

The core function worked smoothly, but it hasnt been polished very much.  Im also not sure about its compatibility.  I'll be trying it again soon, together with the Alchemist Journal mod.
