SkyBox

Skybox lets you share items between your different characters. Your fire mage found a great sword? Give it to your warrior! Thief found a fire staff? Chuck it in a chest for your wizard! Got a blacksmith character? Now she can actually forge items for your other characters to use, and SkyBox is the ONLY way to do it!

Updates

• v1. 0. 1 - Fixed a bug that could lead to serious trouble if Create Stash was cast on the same container several times in a row.

How to use it

After installing, you'll get a lesser power called SkyBox: Create Stash. Aim yourself at a Container object (anything you can put stuff in that isn't another actor) and use the Power. The container is now a Stash, and will glow a bit. Anything you put in the Stash will be saved and made available to your other characters.

What you can store and transfer

If the game will let you put it in there, then the Stash should handle it properly. This includes tempered, enchanted, and custom-made Weapons and Armor, player-created Potions and Poisons, and Soulgems (captured souls should be preserved). Of course you can also store regular items like gold, Ammo, MiscItems, Ingredients, crafting materials, etc.

Be cautious when storing Quest-related items. If you store, say, Auriel's Bow, then load up another character that hasn't done Dawnguard yet and start using it, I can't vouch for the safety of the results. It will probably be okay in this particular example, but it's still not a good idea. Use common sense. If you try to break the game, the game will probably break ;)

Managing your Stashes

Once a container has been turned into a Stash, it can be managed from the SkyBox MCM panel. From the MCM you can get info about all the Stashes you can created, as well as do things like roll them back to earlier "versions" of their contents. In the future you will be able to do cute tricks like link containers together within a single save, so you can, say, make all your player homes in all your saved games have a box with a single shared storage pool.

Removing a Stash

You can remove the Stash spell from a container using the MCM. This will make it behave like a standard container. Any items already in it will remain available in all games that have been saved since the Stash was created.

How Stashes work

(AKA how to avoid losing your items)

Stashes save their contents any time you close their inventory screen. These saves are completely independent from your normal saved games, which can lead to unexpected behavior if you don't understand how it works.
