📋 About This Mod

Safe Containers

Purpose:

To make it easier for a player to safely store items in the field, or take over their own homes, for roleplay reasons.  Don't want that fancy DLC home when you can have your own cave or live in the home of someone who won't be needing their home anymore, now you can.  Maybe you'd just like to find a safe spot to store stuff in your guild hall?  You can do it now.  Also, I wanted to save players from bad guides.  Some guides say all sacks are safe.  They are not.  This way you can tell which are safe and which are not.

Use:

To use, simply hover over any containers like you normally would.  Safe containers will have an asterisk () at the beginning of the description.  If they are marked safe, you should be able to store items safely within that container with some caveats.

Caveats:

  • []This mod was made by adding the tag () to any container template that did not have the respawns flag and didn't have a script referenced in the container record.  That doesn't mean any container that uses the "safe" template is absolutely safe.  It might be in an area that becomes unavailable later--Such as the tutorial area.  Please ignore the safe tag in the tutorial. A quest might redraw the area, removing a container and replacing it with another.  There might be an external quest that forces the contents to respawn, etc.. So, consider the context of the entire area before you decide to store items.  Don't rely solely on the tag.

    []This mod will not change ownership, so keep that in mind if storing items in a container owned by an NPC.  Anything you take out later will be marked stolen, so only store in non-red containers.

    []This mod will conflict with any other mod that alters container records.

    []Do not Bash, Smash, or otherwise combine this mod with others.  If you combine with a mod that adds the respawn flag, then the asterisk will mislead you.  Don't do it.

    []Place this mod high in your load order, that way if a mod does conflict with it, the other mod will overwrite.  You'll probably still end up with a lot of "safe" storage even if another mod repurposes many of your containers.

    []That darn tag...sorry, I don't know how to remove it.  That is the only thing keeping this from being version 1. 0.

    Installation:

    []Choose one Main File.

    []Install via Vortex or M02 directly into your steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data folder.
