A Mod That Affects Custom Potion Textures

[DestinySeraphim]

Honestly, I don't know why no one has done this, but is there any way to make a mod for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion that essentially uses the potion bottle and respective icon textures from Caeno's potion bottle texture replacer mod (which is also incorperated into Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul by the way) to also affect custom potions made in-game, because it is just wierd to have poor graphical potions you make compared to the textures used by the game for normal potions due to Caeno's textures. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to accomplish this? I might have to try and see if I can put the right textures and icons into the game's BSA folder to replace the official potion textures... that might work... I don't know though.

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

EDIT: And yes I know of that "Design your potions" mod on TESNexus, I hope for something that is more or less permanent and doesn't need constant repetition each time you start a new game and such.

"Design your Potions" proves that what you wish to do can be done. It should therefore be easy to chop down the mod to bare bones and make it so that it automatically, without your lifting a finger, selects one particular potion that you like and one particular poison that you like (In your case, something from Caeno's potion bottle texture replacer.)

 

It would be easy to reverse engineer "Design your Potions" so no modder permission would be needed there if it was done right, but a modder would have to have permission to use Caeno's potion bottle texture replacer to make and upload such a mod.
