📋 About This Mod
Renames many items that normally clutter the inventory as to ease the job of finding specific items. Other sorting mods certainly exist, and I've used several, but none that I were personally fond of or fit my specifications. Mainly I use this to make selling items much easier, and I very much recommend SkyUI (when available for SSE) for the search function it adds; it makes it very easy to, for example, search for all useless junk items since, with my mod, these items all share a common prefix.
Renamed items include:
In the misc. tab:
- []Ores and ingots with the prefix "Ore:" and "Ingot:" respectively. An example is "Ore: Iron" and "Ingot: Gold". []Gems, such as rubies and sapphires and the like, with the prefix "Gem:". Example: "Gem: Ruby" and "Gem: Sapphire, Flawless". []Soul Gems, the Black Star and Azura's Star with the prefix "Soul Gem:". Example: "Soul Gem I: Petty", "Soul Gem: Black Star". []Pelts and hides with the prefix "Leather:". Example: "Leather: Wolf Pelt". Also "Leather: Strips" but "Leather" itself untouched. []The six different types of smeltable dwemer scrap with the prefix "Smeltable:". []The Paragon items from Dawnguard are named "Paragon:". []The unique insects found in jars are named "Bug in a Jar:", like "Bug in a Jar: Bee", "Bug in a Jar: Dragonfly", and so on. []The dragon claws are named "Dragon Claw:" such as "Dragon Claw: Iron", "Dragon Claw: Ebony", and so on. []Left and right eye of the Falmer are put together alphabetically such as "Falmer Statue's Left/Right Eye". []Useless junk (i.e. items with no use) are named "Misc:", such as "Misc: Shovel", "Misc: Basket", and so on. []Hearthfire items for children are named "Child's". []Building materials for Hearthfire are named "House:" such as "House: Goat Horn", "House: Lock", and so on.
- []Potions and poisons have been given the prefix of either "Potion of...", "Potion:", or "Poison:". []Cures for poison and disease are named "Cure: Disease" and "Cure: Poison".
