As the description/title states this mod adds prefixes to alchemy ingredients and does not alter anything else. The prefixes act as a sorting system when you view your entire ingredient list or merchant stock, that lists the ingredients required to make some of the most profitable potions starting at top, to the lowest value potions at the bottom. It does not account for ingredient price as potions that included void salts, fire salt, frost salt, moon sugar are located about half way down the prefixes. Also note that because this mod uses prefixes many profitable potions are not going to be sorted via prefix by this mod as the prefixes are non changing, this mod changes the name of ingredients and does not calculate anything.
Can be installed mid play through, you won't get weird bugs etc for install or uninstall with ingredients in your inventory.
It is a small file and easy to install, just dragging the extracted file over to your data folder.
For testing purposes I did the big no of modding, uninstalled mid play through. You can safely uninstall this mod mid play through but based on my brief testing you must remove it from your folder completely (which is a clearly named single file), you cannot simply disable it with a mod manager or home load order.
If you disable the mod mid play through without proper uninstalling your game will crash but the moment you remove the file you can load the game with no damages and no having to dig through your old saves to try to salvage the character.
Over all, its a simple take on a timeless request. There have been a hand full of mods that try to show you the more profitable potions but most I have seen require you to use a separate program. By using prefixes you no longer have to pull up google basically or spent an hour typing in your ingredient list to a potion search engine.
This mod won't be for everyone but its rather useful for people who have a large stock of ingredients or those that buy their ingredients. I personally have a mod that increases merchant stock amounts so this mod is a time saver when scanning through a giant list of ingredients for sale and over half of those ingredients don't brew potions worth the time and carry weight, so rather than have to memorize what ingredients to buy or google recipes and then spend 5 minutes scrolling through the merchants inventory, I can just buy the first 3 prefixes or so and know I'm going to make decent profit.
