Hi. I'm trying to get a magic effect to list once inside each heading. For example, Damage Stamina Regeneration lists only once for each ale consumed by the PC. This is what I want. I'm using a beneficial effect (Detrimental flag is turned off), but each time it is applied it is listed multiple times in each heading.

Let me explain. Suppose I have item "MODMEAD", and drinking it grants +2 unarmed damage for 30 seconds. Each time you drink MODMEAD you get a single heading in the magic effects window. You can mouse over the headin and it says "+2 unarmed damage for 30 seconds". GREAT! Now the issue is when you drink the 2nd MODMEAD. Yes, a second heading appears in the magic effects window, this is fine. The problem is BOTH headings read "+2 unarmed damage for 30 seconds. +2 unarmed damage for 30 seconds".

Why is this happening?

It seems that "Value Modifier" does this for all NON-Detrimetnal effects... can someone confirm this?

I do not know for a fact, but I strongly suspect that the effects do not stack like they did in Morrowind to prevent abuse.

If you drink two vanilla Fortify potions, the second may have a keyword to cancel it's own effect if already working, so the second override the first.

With your "Potions of Mead", If you drink one and 10 seconds later you drink another, you have another 30 seconds, so 40 seconds in total. The Active effects will only show the currently active effects and the first one will expire and the second keep running until it expires.

If there is any way to use the console to find your character's Unarmed Damage, try that, then drink 5 potions very quickly and see if your unarmed damage has increased by 10 or not.

At least you will then know that the potions effects will stack (although the durations will not - you won't get 150 second, of course).

Then you have to find some way of making it appear like that in the active effects window. I suspect it doesn't because it's made to show every effect from each and every source. And, of course, drinking them 1 second apart they will all have a different duration.
