In addition to this, why not add recipes to break down leather and fur garments at the tanning station? That would also reduce the clutter greatly. For whatever the reason I have about 50 different fur armors in my inventory often enough. Not 100% sure where I even get them anymore!

As for yappy118's comment on potions. I do agree and see your point. But if you don't want to break down potions it’s as simple as not placing a point in that particular perk. Or, that story about the egg could be your excuse for that if you roleplay. After all, Skyrim is a land of magic and dragons. Why shouldn't we be able to separate one element from another like oil and vinegar? Sure it would likely not be stored in the same way, that’s where the meta-gaming comes in, but it is still technically possible.

All of that being said, complaints and complements included, this is a good mod. As with anything it can still use some improvements but so far it is very good. ^_^

Pickpocketing seems to "max out" from the start even though, at the beginning of the game, it was only at 15 pts. It’s great in a way, but it takes the challenge out of pickpocketing.

If you could make this an option instead of just integrating it into the mod itself that would be great. Make it, say, into a perk or an option through the MCM. That would likely work better in my opinion.
It would also be very useful if you posted, somewhere, what can be smelted down and what recipes along with what potions could be broken down and into what. Not in game but out of it, for example here in a forum post or something similar. That way we could know what to save for smelting even though we don’t have enough mats for smelting it right now on us, and what to discard because it’s not going to do any good. It would also allow users to comment and say “there should be a smelting/cooking recipe for this item <inserts name here>.”

good idea but dont work i took the miner perk where you should get 4 ore out of a vein and still only got 3, havent tested the smelting down perk yet so dont know if that works but doubt it when the other one dont

i agree with gmdaoust about the potions

you shoul add a smithing skill to break down wooden things into fire wood

Hi Triple. Your mod appeals to me a great deal. One thing I don't like about it is the fact that potions can be reverted back to the ingredients used to make them. That's like saying you can break an egg, fry it, then liquify the result and pour it back into the shell and use a spell to mend it. I know Skyrim is a land of magic, but that one sticks into my craw. Now, if you had suggested that lesser potions can be reduced (boiled down?), have one or two ingredients added to create the next level of the same type of potion, that I would feel makes perfect sense. This is just an idea I'm throwing your way for you to consider. Anyhow, congratulations again on helping use de-clog our inventories.

I've figure it out. It's because I didn't have any of the smaller potions. I hadn't realised that it would only work on certain potions, I thought it was for all of them. I like the smithing perk, really useful!

I'm sorry to hear about your problem, but it works on my end. Are you sure you have the perk active and have the appropriate potions (the stock ones that you buy and find: restore 25, 50, 75). It's currently set up to only show the options for the potions you have as to reduce clutter on screen. If you still have this problem even while holding a potion or minor healing or the like, then let me know what other mods you might have, it could be an incompatibility issue.

Silver Im having the same problem no options pop up the only thing I can do is select the perk once I have leveled up to seventy

Hi, this may be me being an idiot but I can't figure out how to change potions into ingredients - I've tried doing it at the cooking pot in my Whiterun house but no options appear. Any help?

thank you for the compliment and i will gladly leave a possitive comment to such a great mod :)
(dont know if compliment is a word)

Thanks modou (cool username by the way), it's things like this that motivates me to struggle through the modding process :)

the idea is wery good keep up the good work:D

I was thinking about that Devinian, but then for some items, you could basically remake the same item over and over to level and that would break the game in my opinion. Instead I took the #ingots-2 for the items (with some differences) and chalk up losses to impurity.

Loving the idea of this mod, and will be following it... Perhaps match up the amount of ingots received from smelting weapons with how much it takes to smelt them? There's the same amount of metal involved

That might not fit into this mod tao2000, but now I really want to make a spell that does that now. Who knows, you might see that in the near future.

I live for those minor healing potions. My drink of choice!
Why not implement the ability to melt down one's enemies into skooma, so that eliminating them in their endless legions is actually fun?

No problem! Glad to help :)

That's a great idea! If you couldn't tell, I'm not too experienced in this modding business. Thanks Aestherus!

GetItemCount (Item) >= 1

To fix the clutter you should put in a requirement to have the item in your inventory before you can smelt it. That way, there is no clutter at all.
