Good to know it's NOT just me. I killed off my mods that weren't working whatsoever, thinking one of those was the culprit. I DuckDuckGo'd this problem, and found a similar issue with SKSE from 2018. That's how I ended up here. Apparently the update resurrected a problem that was long-dead. Guess I'll use the console if I need a specific potion in the meanwhile. Alchemy is a Mother to level, anyway. It's one of my least favorite skills to deal with -- even with the mod that flattens out the skill curves. No guilt here!
