Project Summary

Primarily this project served as a personal python challenge (and challenging it was!). But it also needed a practical reason to exist. So the decision was made to create a personal database system to store some gameplay info regarding my Skyrim sessions.

The Problem: I play a heavily modded version of Skyrim, and within this version of the game exists a complex new alchemy system that exists underneath the original (Here's the mod, in case you're curious: Spell Research Mod). This new system encourages the player to breakdown the preexisting ingredients into base chemicals, and then rebuild new elixiers from the base chemicals. But unfortunately, this new system doesn't provide the player a history of previous ingredient breakdowns, so it's often forgotten which ingredients yield which chemicals.

The Solution: So, instead of continuing to manually update and reference a notepad file to recall previous discoveries (or spoil the fun by referencing the mod's documentation for all ingredient compositions), I instead created this application. It tracks all provided ingredients , allows querying the data with/without filters, and is also capable of writing and reading database files (.csv) to keep data persistent. It even has a dedicated GUI!
