Additional Tools
Cloud Deposit System (Remote Deposit from anywhere!)
  • Initiate deposits from the player's inventory directly into one or more selected containers
  • Simple to complex functionality. At its simplest assigning a hotkey and one container is all that is required.
  • Optional functionality allows for selecting which container specific items type will be deposited (sorted) to
  • Optional functionality allows for custom rules to sort specific items into containers chosed by the player
  • Individual items can be prevented from being deposited, e.g. health potions, lockpicks, septims, etc
  • Item types such as potions, food, weapons, armor, ammo, scrolls, soul gems can be excluded from deposits
  • *Favorited and equipped items are always excluded from deposits

Miscellaneous Inventory Management Tools
  • Depositing or withdrawing specific types as a fallback in the case of a lagging UI 
  • Quick full dump of player inventory into a container (1-2 seconds for over 1,000 different items)
  • Destroy all items in a container

Integrations
  • It is integrated with my other mod Lose Some Weight Reborn and offers options in its MCM for controlling they weight of which item types will be set to zero.
  • Mod integrations coming very soon (already done just testing) These integrations will allow the backup and restore of data for the mod including but not limited to skills, progress and in most cases the MCM settings!
  • Verified to have no progress available for backup:

       This mod was initially created to meet my needs.  Eventually I decided to share it and so started learning more.  That is a dangerous thing as you over time begin to realize how you are doing things incorrectly and then want to correct those issues.  I have rewritten this mod around 5 times now lol.  Now that it is 'working' I have no further desire to rewrite it again and am happy with it as long as it 'just works'.   

This mod is intended to fill certain QoL needs and works great as a part of an excellent mod load.  Some of these mods compliment Ethereal Tools beautifully.  I highly recommend them all!

  • Better Container Controls for SkyUI - Allows you to with a single click deposit/withdraw all of a single category & more!
  • Lose Some Weight REBORN - Drops weight of books, potions, food, soul gems, scrolls and misc items to zero
  • Corpse to Coinage - Allows you to convert corpses including dragons into coins (not too crazy but also adjustable). remember to type this into the console:      set CCoinIncludeItems to 0
  • Haven Bag - Home in a bag!
  • iHarvest - Harvest ALLL the things
  • More Colorful Critters - Seriously, it adds like 300+ critters and they're GORGEOUS
Honorable mentions that have no bearing on inventory related topics:
