WHAT ARE SMUGGLER'S BARRELS
Have you ever wanted to role play a smuggler? Now you can!  Use the many waterways of Skyrim to quietly transport your Skooma to your waiting clientele. Imperial soldiers will be non-the-wiser as your invaluable skooma bobs down river under cover of darkness, slipping past the authorities and those who might try to muscle in on your business.

This mod allows you to craft small barrels that you can fill with contraband and float down any river in Skyrim!  I created this mod for myself as a fun way to role play a smuggler in Skyrim.  This mod allows you to create a container that is not only a movable static but also buoyant and will float when dropped in the water.

THIS IS A LONG-FORM TOUR OF THE MOD
If it's too long for you that's what the video player controls are for so stop your bitching!

NOTE: This is a video for the legacy version of the mod, many improvements have been made in the SE version.  This mod is no longer in Beta!


CRAFTING BARRELS
Barrels can be crafted at any forge with corundum, firewood and a petty soul gem.  The barrels are added to the player inventory as miscellaneous items and when you are ready use them, simply drop them on the ground and fill them with anything you wish to smuggle.  Once full, you can drop them off a bridge, roll them down hill into the raging rapids or quietly slip them over the side of your boat.  Smuggler's Barrels will follow the current down stream and can be fished out of the river at any time to recover your loot.

When you are finished, simply interact with the barrels in sneak mod to place them back into your inventory or break them down into their various parts.  Remember to take out your goods first!

DESIGNED FOR NIGHT WORK
Smugglers Barrels have all been covered in pitch and painted black for maximum concealment and night-time work.  A soul gem is used during crafting, imbuing them with magic that makes them impervious to damage when plunging over Skyrim's many picturesque waterfalls and are completely water tight!  No matter how rough the rapids, fear not, your product will be safe inside the Smuggler's Barrel.

STRIKE FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF YOUR COMPETITORS
Each barrel has been emblazoned with a "Death's Head" emblem to let your competitors, or anyone else who stumbles across one of your barrels, know that to mess with your product, is to mess with you and shall certainly end in a gruesome death!

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to follow your barrels down stream.  You cannot simply drop them in and expect them to show up at the end.  There are times when a barrel may vanish and then reappear.  This is an issue with how the game handles dropped items in game and distance items.  The idea is that the river is doing the heavy lifting, the smuggler still has to guard his or her merchandise!
