📋 About This Mod
Description
Several craft-able, portable containers that can be placed within any interior and provides safe non-respawning storage. Also comes with an optional Menu system for auto-sorting commonly stored items, such as Crafting materials, books, ingredients, Soul Gems, ect..
Handy if your home needs more containers, or you just want something you can throw all your storage items into quickly!
Craft everything from barrels, to bookshelves. Just drop the Furniture kit on the floor/table and move to where you want them, then activate the item to place it. When you use your new container, a menu pops up asking what you want to do. If you don't want to see the menu anymore, just click Options and Toggle Menu! Click it again to make menus show once again.
Every container is individually tracked, so there's no limit to how many you can place. Be it one or one hundred (though I advise against it. It could potentially make a cell laggy adding that many new objects).
This mod is based off the classic Craftable and Moveable Alchemy and Crafting Containers by Zaria
As much as I loved Zaria's work, I felt there was just more that could be done with it, so I built my own version from the ground up modeled after Zaria's style, but adding new features, including DLC support and an newer cleaner scripting system.
Requirements
- Skyrim Special Edition v1. 5 or later
Installation / How it Works
File is packed using 7z format. It contains an installer for the Nexus Mod manager.
If you install manually, just place the ESM, BSA and any ESP patch files
you want into your Skyrim Data folder. Then just activate them in your
Skyrim Launcher. To uninstall, just delete the ESM, BSA and any ESP you
threw in the folder.
All containers are craft-able at a forge. Once crafted, drop the fully havok'd Furniture Kit anywhere in the
interior you want. The Furniture Kit uses the same model as the actual
container, so you can see how it looks and how large it is, as well as
grab, drag and place it how you want. Activating the Furniture Kit open a
menu that gives the following options:
- Place Container, which will place the actual container in the exact spot at the exact angle as where the Kit was placed.
- Pick Up, if you wish to cancel placement and pick the item back up.
- Exit, if you wish to move the container around more before placing.
From there, activating the container opens a menu. The menu allows you to
Open the container, Auto sort items or let you tweak various options.
The Options Menu contains the following features:
- Pick Up: Places the Container's kit bac
