New Potions in the CK?

Post » Thu Aug 08, 2013 3:05 pm

There are some potions you can brew with Alchemy but you cannot buy them in-game, so they are not in the CK. So I made some, put them in the levelled lists for Alchemists and Apothecaries and now I can buy them.

But what about potions that have multiple effects?

Is it possible for them to have unique names?

For example, my Alchemy mod has several books you can buy, with details of recipes and where the reagents can be found in Skyrim.

So is it possible for a potion to have a unique name when it is brewed? The game just uses one of the effects and calls it that.

I can create it as a potion you can buy, but how can I make the Alchemy screen name it like this when I brew it?

Healer's Elixir
The victim of a debilitating disease will be cured of their affliction and their Health and Stamina restored, as well as gaining resistance to poisons for a time.

Charred Skeever Hide
Eye of Sabre Cat
Mudcrab Chitin

So, this will have the effects:

Cure Disease

Restore Health

Restore Stamina

Resist Poison

But the game calls it Resist Poison.

Is it possible for it to be called "Healer's Elixir"?

Many, Many Thanks!

Can't you just rename them?

I added a bunch of new models and made names for them that show up in game., at least the ones with activators.

you may need to change the activator name. and adding effects should be simple, just edit or create a new effect and badabingbadaboom.

For potions? How did you do that?

When you brew a potion at an alchemy lab, the game takes the ingredient effects and names the potion according to one of those effects.

I want certain potions (the ones from the recipes in the books) to have different names when you brew them.

I cannot find the system for naming potions from ingredient effects in the CK.

We cannot even re-name a potion in-game like we can name an enchanted item.

I CAN create a potion ALCH in the CK with those effects and give it a name and have Alchemists sell it. But I cannot brew a Healer's Elixir at the alchemy lab. It is a Resist Poison potion with four effects.
