📋 About This Mod
IMPORTANT NOTE: SKYRIM DELETES HORSE INVENTORY AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. This can happen if you leave the area your horse is in. Until this can be fixed, this mod is only for short-term item storage. Basically, don\'t leave your horse alone for extended periods of time or it will be robbed. -Description- This script allows you to access your horse\'s inventory. While riding a horse, press Left Ctrl to open its inventory. To use a different key to open its inventory, edit the .ini file. -Requirements- Requires Script Dragon, found here: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/477268-rel-script-dragon/ -Installation- 1. Install Script Dragon from the above link. 2. Place packhorse.asi and packhorse.ini into your root Skyrim folder, alongside TESV.exe. Not the Data folder. -Uninstalling- Delete packhorse.asi and packhorse.ini. -Credit- Thanks to Alexander Blade for Script Dragon
Packhorse Script adds a simple gameplay feature: while riding a horse in Skyrim, pressing Ctrl opens the horse's inventory, allowing you to store items on your mount. The mod is lightweight and functional, though it comes with a warning that Skyrim deletes horse inventory after a certain time. With 65 endorsements and 3,691 downloads, it's a niche utility for players who want a pack mule experience.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Handy for hoarders who want to haul loot without fast-traveling
- Tiny mod, no bloat, does exactly what it says
- Decent download count (3,691) shows some players found it useful
⚠️ Cons
- Skyrim deletes horse inventory after a while, so your stuff can vanish
- Only works while riding—can't access horse storage from the ground
- Last updated in 2011, so may have issues with newer Skyrim versions
For Skyrim players who want a simple pack mule without installing a full inventory overhaul. If you're tired of being over-encumbered during dungeon runs and want a quick fix, this is for you. Skip if you want robust storage solutions or play with mods that already change horse behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to check your horse's inventory regularly—items can disappear after a while, so don't leave valuables stored for long.
- This mod uses a hotkey (Ctrl) that might conflict with other mods or game functions; you can rebind it in the MCM if available, or check for conflicts.
- If you're playing with Skyrim Special Edition, this old mod may not work; consider looking for a port or alternative.
