This mod provides more storage and a sorter that greatly reduces the tedium of inventory management.

The "Inventory Manager" terminal also provides several options for replenishing your inventory as you see fit. Detailed instructions are provided to help you tweak this feature. The "Inventory Manager" also allows you to retrieve schematics components from storage with a single click.

You get the "Inventory Manager" and some of the new storage when you purchase the Workbench.

So you should install this mod when starting a new game.
-------------------------------------------------------

Or at the latest before acquiring the Megaton Player House.
----------------------------------------------------------

If you use the Megaton Player House and later install the mod, you are asking for trouble as your saves will already contain data from the House that may conflict with the mod.

==================================================================
Change: Removed dependencies on DLCs.
==================================================================

"Inventory Manager" sorting.
- "Sort Stuff" sorts nearly all but unique and quest related "Miscellaneous Items" from FO3.
- "Sort Consumables" sorts nearly all but unique and quest related "Ingestibles" from FO3.
- "Sort Ammo" sorts all FO3 & CALIBR ammo usable by the player. -- 89 varieties --

In the process of sorting, bent tin cans are straightened, dirty water is purified, and Ice Cold Nuka-Cola is converted back to the normal variety. If you prefer 'Ice Cold' throw the Nuka-Colas back into your vending machine.

"Inventory Manager" replenishing.
- "Replenish - Standard Package"
- "Replenish - Special Packages"
- "Chems"
- "Stock Ammo"
- "Energy Ammo"
- "Grenades & Mines"
- "CALIBR Ammo"
- "Darts & Spikes"
- "Extra Package" that you can put together yourself.

***One Stimpack, Frag Grenade, & Frag Mine are always left in your inventory, assuming you have any to begin with, so that you don't need to reset hot keys for them.

Since I can not know how you want to replenish your inventory and your needs will change as you play, from time to time you will have to open the mod and alter the "Replenish" scripts as you see fit.

This is very easy to do. All of the scripts for the above are also provided in text files in the mod's "Documentation" folder.

Containers (Persistent references to which items are sorted)
- Five Ammunition Boxes
- Valuable Items
- Junk
- First Aid Box
- Desk
- Filing Cabinet
- Refrigerator
- Scrap Metal
- Stealth Boys
- Tool Box
- Parts Cabinet (Schematic Components)

Other Containers
- Weapons Cabinet
- Clothing Locker
- Armor Locker
- Garbage Can (with fail-safe mechanism)

INSTALLATION
Standard installation. REQUIRES CALIBR.esm.
Note that if you de-activate this mod with FOMM, you will lose all of the changes you have made to the scripts. So, back-up before uninstalling.

MOD CONFLICTS
This mod will only conflict with other mods which place something in the same spot as the containers added by this mod. It does not conflict with any of the Megaton House "themes", though one rusty vent had to be moved.

LOAD ORDER
Should be able to load this mod anywhere after the esm files.
Care may be needed if you use other mods which alter the Megaton Player House.

TECHNICAL
The Editor IDs of everything new added by this mod begin with A2MGH.
Mesh & Texture folders are labeled CRM-MGH.
Cigarettes not sorted -- smoke or sell.
