i think mods that add textures don't usually need skse.

Having Skyrim on PC and NOT modding it just sounds weird to me. There are plenty of brilliant mods that don't damage your hardware at all. What's more, you can't even say you don't know how. The Nexus is a one click done, so is SKSE. I'm not saying you need mods, but it's a damn shame to not even try them. I can no longer play Vanilla Skyrim, it just feels like an empty husk compared to modded. Great build by the way. It's clear you've put lots of effort into it, and that will always gain my +1.

Umm, i didn't said i never tried mods, who on earth having PC can resist such temptation  What i said was i never go heavy on mods and i'm not a fan of the uskp ( experienced some weird glitches like npc's spawning inappropriately, mammoths flying, some orc spawning with me everywhere i go and so on ...). I often find my self using not more than 3 or 4 in a playthrough as that's enough for me. Thanks for the upvote, cheers!    

I think I shall run this with an Argonian and setup shop in Morthal it is a swamp area after all not to mention a treasure trove of alchemy ingredients. :)

My Dunmer settled there too It's a paradise for alchemists! And if you own the Hearthfire dlc build your self a green house along with fishery and grow River Betty in it, since damage health poisons made with River Betty are 150% stronger.

Have fun and maybe post a feedback how it turned out

I love this build. I had one simmilier but more Arcane, than common...must try that soon, now what is your opinion on a Follower with this Alchemist if Sneaking past the enemy fails?

Hmm, i use Aranea Ienith but not in a sneaky fashion

Any follower that is skilled at light armor and sneak should be fine (also give them muffle enchanted piece of equipment). Followers should preferably be non-mage, as casting spells will attract enemies and blow your cover. Complete list of followers and their descriptions here

If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask  Thanks for the support, cheers!

I'm pretty sure this is my first post on this site, I just had to say, great build! There are so many amazing builds on here but this just caught my imagination, and I love the pictures you used, especially that last one, from being a kid those little alchemist shop/cottage pictures always got me.

Hello and welcome to the blog Good to hear from another fellow alchemist, thanks for the compliments and I'm really glad that you like what I've done. Cheers!

The pleasure is mine Glad to hear The Aspiring Alchemist spark ideas
