Smart Souls Mod

Smart Souls

Teaching petty souls the meaning of the word 'Hog'

version 9.0

Requires Skyrim Script Extender

Description

This mod knocks some sense into the souls of the various denizens of Skyrim, keeping them from entering soul gems that aren't of the same level/quality as they are. Also displays the quality of the soul being captured. And prevents black soul gems from providing refuge to white souls.

PS: Dragon souls aren't covered by this mod as they are too far gone to be rehabilitated.

Fine Print

Just pop it in and run the game through the SKSE launcher. The INI file will be created on first-run, in the same folder as the plugin.

Specific soul gems can be allowed to store lower quality souls by adding their formIDs to the INI, like so:

[AzurasStarImposters]

GrandSoulGemVanilla=0006AB34

GreaterSoulGemFromSomeMod=000084AC

Compatibility

Compatible only with TES Skyrim v1.9.32.0. May not be compatible with the Russian build of the game.
