Description

[]Now you can buy and sell torches.
[
]Bethesda wanted people to be able to buy torches because they put torches in merchant inventories.[]But because of an engine bug, this is impossible:Torches, despite having a value, cannot be bought from or sold to any merchants, even with the Merchant perk. -- UESP
[]This mod follows the intended vanilla distribution of torches to merchants:[]50% chance of 10 torches at general goods merchants whenever they restock.
[]If a mod changes these leveled list distributions, this mod will reflect that change automatically.
[]Works with mod-added general goods merchants if they have torches in their merchant chest.
[]Fancy SkyUI inventory icon with Inventory Interface Information Injector (1. 5 "SE"/1. 6 "AE").
[]No vanilla record edits.

For Skyrim players who find it annoying that torches aren't sold by general goods merchants as intended.

Skip if you don't care about torch availability or use mods that already overhaul merchant inventories.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean.
- Place this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other merchant-related mods.
- If you use a mod that changes merchant inventories, test after installing to ensure torches are still purchasable.
