📋 About This Mod
A portable autosorter making use of Lua scripting in OpenMW 0. 49 and onwards.
This was spurred on by my own inability to find the unicorn of house mods that combined my personal taste with extensive sorting. As such, no matter where you live, you'll be able to sort everything in your inventory into containers in the same cell with just one click.
Don't try to combine this with existing alchemy/book/etc sorters, especially ones that use displays or ingredient jars. Sort them into a nearby container using this mod first, then move them manually into the other sorter.
Will not work on the current OpenMW 0. 48. 0 release. Get the latest Release Candidate build of OpenMW 0. 49. 0 from here.
Make sure to enable both portable_autosorter.omwaddon and portable_autosorter.omwscripts for the mod to work.
Requires Morrowind.esm.
What's Included
The Portable Autosorter is a collection items that, when used together, allow for quick and easy sorting. They are:
-
[]Autosort Master Sorter: A placeable item that, when activated, will scan containers in the cell for Autosort Targets and move items from your inventory those containers. Looks disturbingly similar to a House Dagoth cup. Can't be picked back up without wearing the Autosort Pickup Ring.
[
]Autosort Targets: A collection of Dwemer Puzzle Boxes that are put into containers. The Autosort Master Sorter looks for these when sorting. Multiple Targets can go in one container. Targets themselves will never be sorted.[]Autosort Target - Overflow: A special Target that catches everything that hasn't already been sorted, except Gold.
[]Autosort Excluder: On its own, it does nothing, but when in the same container as a Target, it prevents the Target from being... well, targeted. Used to store unused Targets without accidentally sorting your inventory. EG: If you want to keep Gold in your inventory, place the Excluder in the same container as the Gold Target. Gold won't be sorted.
- Autosort Pickup Ring: When worn, activating the Master Sorter will pick it up instead of sorting your inventory. Has a small Burden enchantment. Will never be sorted. Mostly depreciated now that you can pick up the Master Sorter while you are in your inventory.
The Master Sorter, Targets, Excluder, and Pickup Ring can all be bought from Arrille at his tradehouse at Seyda Neen. As such, this mod may conflict with anything that alters Arrille. If so, use the console to add the following items:
autosort_master_sorter
autosort_target_weapon
autosort_target_armor
autosort_target_book
autosort_target_clothing
autosort_target_jewelry
autosort_target_ingredient
autosort_target
