Blacksmith Storage Chests

This mod adds non-respawning storage chests to the blacksmiths in the five major cities, plus Riverwood, the Skyforge, Fort Dawnguard, the three Hearthfire home sites, Raven Rock, and Severin Manor.

The chests feature optional auto-sorting to make storing your smithing supplies quick and easy. You can also choose to have the chests share the same inventory so that what you store in one chest will be available in another. Both the auto-sorting and the shared inventory are optional features that can be turned on or off at any time.

Talk to the blacksmith in the respective city to purchase a chest for 1000 gold. While the dialogue indicates that you are renting the chest from the blacksmith, it is simply a one-time purchase. Once purchased, the chest is considered owned by the player for the purposes of the game. Note that certain locations, such as the Skyforge and Fort Dawnguard, are tied in with quests and have special requirements for accessing their respective chests; these are noted in the Additional Information section below.

Also check out Carpenter Storage Chests for even more convenient storage options.

The locations I chose for the chests were all spots that required minimum changes to the cells. I also did not make any changes to the navmesh in any of the cities. So unless another mod alters the exact location where I placed one of the chests, it should be fully compatible with this mod.

To access the Settings menu, activate the chest while sneaking.

Each chest is individually configurable with the following settings:

- Auto-sorting menu for smithing supplies (default = On)

- Shared Inventory (default = Off)

These features work independently of one another, so you can have auto-sorting along with shared inventory, or shared inventory without auto-sorting, etc. Each chest is set independently of the others. This means that you can choose to share the inventory between all or just some of the chests or set them so that the auto-sorting menu appears for one chest but not another. If you want to connect a new chest to the shared inventory, you simply change the setting for that chest, close and reopen the chest. If you have things already stored in the chest before connecting it, those items will simply get added to the shared inventory. You can change the settings at any time, as often as you want, and you will never lose any items. If items disappear from one chest a
