About this mod
Creates new potions with flavour text effects for Missives potion delivery quests instead of using normal vanilla potions. This is primarily for people who use auto-potion mods, but it also works for immersion or whatever.

Don't Use Normal Potions
for Missives
for Missives
What is this?
This mod adds some new potions with unique effects to Missives. The "effects" are as follows:
- Good for indigestion.
- Clears up the sinuses.
- A cure for body odor.
- Prevents loud snoring. Hopefully.
- Helps against hangovers.
They don't actually do anything. It's just flavour text so that the potions are different and not just named health potions.
Why?
I play with auto-potion mods, specifically right now I'm using NPCs Use Potions with the player auto-potion feature enabled, but have also used Swift Potion NG in the past. These mods are great for very high difficulty mod setups where you don't want to have to open up your inventory mid-battle or have a dozen hotkeys dedicated to just potions. Just let the auto-potion work its magic.
The issue though is that these auto-potion mods tend to accidentally use the potions from Missives that you're meant to deliver in a quest, because they're actually health potions. This leads into a failed quest. With NPCs Use Potions at least, you're able to prevent certain potions from being used if you favourite them, but it will cause all potions of that type, even the unnamed ones, to be unusable by the mod. The solution was to make a new potion that these auto-potion mods will ignore, since they don't actually do anything, gameplay wise.
Also I think it's interesting for immersion or roleplaying purposes. Camilla Valerius ordered a potion that prevents loud snoring? Rorik ordered a potion for his sinuses? Yeah let's help these poor people heheh.
So even if you don't use auto-potion mods, I think it might be an interesting addition to your mod list anyway.
Installation, Compatibility, Etc.
- It's a patch for and requires Missives. Simply install it and load it after Missives.
- You can install this without starting a new game, however, if you've already taken a quest to deliver a potion, that potion will not magically change into one of these new potions, sadly. You'll need to take a new quest before you start seeing them.
- It should be safe to uninstall any time unless you currently have a potion delivery quest. If you uninstall it then, the potion will disappear. It shouldn't cause any crashes or anything, but the quest will fail and you will not be able to recover the potion even with console commands.
It should be compatible with everything that Missives is also compatible with, except for any mod that does the same thing (I don't know of any).
