📋 About This Mod
Vendors have inventories, sure but where? Under the counter of course.
This mod covers all interior merchant locations including the DLCs, relocating and resizing the vendor chests that were previously in the goddamn void under the building.
Only covers interiors for now. To ensure compatibility with exterior altering mods this plugin will stay as is.
At some point exterior merchants will also be added along with a second plugin that will include both interiors and exteriors.
All chests are locked
Innkeeper chests have adept locks while all other merchants have expert locks (except some that i deemed would have higher locks).
Some npcs that are technically merchants such as Calcelmo in Markarth are not included but may be in a future update.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 178 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, so it's been tested by many players.
- Adds a fun, immersive touch by letting you see and loot the chests behind shop counters.
- Simple and lightweight, won't bloat your load order or cause performance hits.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLCs.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter merchant inventories or shop interiors.
- Limited scope—if you're looking for gameplay changes, this is purely cosmetic and won't add new mechanics.
For Skyrim players who enjoy immersive details and want to see the chests that hold merchant inventories. It's a great pick for roleplayers and looters who like to sneak a peek behind the counter. Skip if you want gameplay overhauls or are running a heavily modded setup with many shop edits.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Check your load order to ensure no other mods modify the same merchant chests; place this mod after those to avoid conflicts.
- For Skyrim Special Edition, verify compatibility with your game version, as the mod predates recent updates.
