About this mod

Drop everything when invisibility takes effect; equipping anything ends it.

Requirements

Changelogs
Invisibility in Skyrim always struck me as a little unrealistic.  On the one hand, it ends as soon as you interact with anything.  OK, fine, that makes sense.  But on the other hand, it extends to everything your character is wearing or holding.  Either one of those on its own is perfectly logical, but the combination doesn't make that much sense to me.  If everything you touch is invisible, why should picking stuff up immediately reveal you?

This simple mod will drop everything you are carrying when you turn invisible.  You will first drop your things in a knapsack to avoid making a huge mess, but if the knapsack is already in use, you will drop items individually instead.  Picking up the knapsack automatically returns all of your items.

If you misplace the knapsack, you can get your stuff back with these commands:

help "your possessions"
player.additem xxxxxxx 1


The mod will do the rest automatically.

Version 0.1.1 will unequip your items without dropping them, if you prefer that behavior.  In both versions, equipping anything ends the spell, but that hardly matters in 0.2.0.

Compatibility

Ought to be compatible with everything, unless you have some other mod that tries to equip or unequip objects in response to magic effects, in which case they might theoretically interact badly.

If you have a mod that tries to edit the description of the invisibility spell, either that mod or this one will "win" depending on your load order.  This will not affect gameplay.

Upgrading should be painless, but 0.2.0 requires SKSE.

Known Issues

You may experience odd behavior if you save while invisible; in particular, you may find that equipping items does not end invisibility after saving and loading.

Dropping a lot of items rapidly tends to spew them everywhere.  You may have difficulty sneaking around if you're dropping a large number of items.

The knapsack seems to have problems dropping itself if you're in first person view.  I'm not sure why this would be.
