Crashing and Missing Potions?!

[Causes Problems Intentionally]

So, I'm trying to make the bests armor I can. How I'm doing this is by making fortify restoration, smithing and enchathing potions. My Restoration potion had an increase of 1881% and my smithing potion was 568% but when ever I'd take more than one smithing potion, even after the effect had worn off, my game or crash. I would re-load the game and all the potions would be gone, from my inv and from my follower's inv, I also tried using a smithing potion that only increased it by 100% instead, but crashed it too. Are the potions I'm making just too high? Or is something actually wrong with my game?


Update: My Restoration potions are doing it too.

I'd say mods.

This ^^^^ This glitch was fixed in an official patch. To get numbers that high takes a mod.

Not an "official" patch but it was fixed in the USSEP. There is even a mod to revert that fix by USSEP to allow for higher smithing/alchemy numebrs. I tested it and it works but will only crash if the % causes whatever you are doing (potions or items) to go -%. Then it will crash.

The only mods I use are More Werewolves, Amazing Followers, Better Blood Textures, The Paarthurnax Dilemma, Thunding Shouts, Immersive Citizens and Alternative Start.

I got those numbers by making crafting armor that had increased Smithing and Alchemy and by making the previously mentioned potions. I'd start by making one restoration potion, taking my gear off, taking the potion then putting the gear back on to make another restoration potion. I did this cycle over and over until I got a procentage I liked. Then I'd take the potion and make a lot of smithing potions. I'd then wait until the affects of all my potions wore off and do the whole process again to get a restoration potion at or around the same percentage as the last because it helps with the enchating and I believe the smithing.

The ingredients I used for each potion are:

Blue Butterfly Wing + Snow Barries = Enchanting
Cyrodilic Spadetail + Abecean Longfin = Restoration
Blisterwart + Glowing Mushrooms = Smithing

As for the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, I haven't felt the need to get it. Maybe later on, but as I am, I'm content with how my game is. The bug or glitch or whatever seems to have passed without any serious complications, so I guess alls good.

Hi,

I had the same problem precisely, the problem is that alternative start is overwriting the scripts for fortify potions (If you use MO you can see this within conflicts tab) remove and you're good to go.

Hello there, I would like to add that it is absolutely not a matter of mods and just a matter of Skyrim being glitchy - at least I encountered it, while not having downloaded any mods at all. However there is an "old" post on GameFAQs on that topic, which recommends just making these potions one by one.

For future reference I have found the fix.. well it stopped happening after I took these steps at least. Made sure carry weight was reasonable amount on me (prob not the issue), then just made sure I took off every piece of gear that was made by a super enhanced enchant potions. Made two items using one potion and the rest remained.
Another suggestion if it doesn’t work for you is to simply just use the super enchant pot to make at least one or two alchemy enhance geqr to make one enchant pot at a time. Though I really think just taking off everything will fix it.

Edit: I WAS WRONG lol, still having issues with it, number one thing I noticed was kind of consistent was don’t go too high with the alchemy pots, all I know is I made some that are around 6k% and those seem to not be causing the issue anymore and when I go back to using the high ones those always disappear from the whole most recent save.
