Description
While doing a poison build, I found it difficult to remember the best recipes for poisons and kept tabbing out to check the wiki, so I decided to add an ingame book to store the recipes. This was a big improvement, but I thought it'd be more immersive if the potions had interesting names (rather than just Damage Health Poison, etc), so I expanded my mod to rename certain mixtures as well.
You can find the new book on it's author's table inside Grave Concoctions (the Falkreath alchemist's shop). It will increase your Alchemy skill when read.
Currently there are 6 poisons documented and renamed (+1 hidden one). If you have some other favourites that aren't included in the book, suggest it in the article. I don't want this book to catalogue every single poison, so only suggest the most useful or interesting ones.
Installation
Install the requirements then install using a mod manager. The FOMOD contains different implementation options (including the "Book only" option).
Compatibility
This mod was designed to be compatible with most alchemy mods (specifically Alchemy Plus). However, this mod will not make much sense in combination with mods that change recipes. Any potions with the effects described in the book will be renamed, but the recipes the book suggests may not make the same potions.
Different versions
Auto Potion Renamer SKSE plugin
This is the default version. It renames poisons on creation using Auto Potion Renamer. If installed on an existing save, existing potions will be renamed. Tested on version 1.6.1170 but should work on anything 1.6.640+ apart from VR. Do let me know if this is not the case.
Papyrus script
This version renames potions when they're added to your inventory from the alchemy table. This means that you (usually) won't see the new name in the alchemy table. Any potions added this way will be renamed if they match one of the recipes. Tested on version 1.6.1170 but should work on anything 1.6.640+ including VR. Do let me know if this is not the case.
Book only
Just adds the skill book to Zaria's shop. Tested on version 1.6.1170 but should work on anything 1.6.640+.
Thanks
Huge thanks to Parapets for making Alchemy Plus source code public, I would not have figured out how to do the SKSE part without this.
