Store/Retrieve, Teleport, Bag of Holding and Conjure Mount spells. Sell chest that automagically sells whatever you put in it. ESPFE so it doesn't count against your load order. Assignable Hotkeys for all spells.

ABOUT THIS MOD
If you have ever used the Craft Loot system in Legacy of the Dragonborn, or General Stores, or KR4FT, then you already know how amazing a system like this is, however I have used all of them and found all to not be EXACTLY what I was looking for.
I basically consider this mod (with the exception of the travel related content) to be a Dremora Butler on steroids, with no limitations. In my mind, the Butler appears beside me while crafting, giving me whichever ingredient I need, and when I finish I dispel him. Handy Bag of Holding is the Butler's inventory, just as if you summoned him and asked him to carry items for you and dispelled him.
This mod, in version 3.0 and above, transfers all ingredients to the player when they enter into a conversation with a vendor as well, so all your stuff is there to sell, if the vendor buys those types of items.
Also new to version 3.0 is the Handy Sell Chest, which allows you to sell items on while out and about to open more space in your inventory for the important things in life.
Handy Crafting, in version 3.0, is more integrated than ever with things like Hearthfire Fertile Soils, Fish Hatcheries, Fish Aquariums, LotD Natural History Displays, Brewer, Hunterborn, Mystic Condenser and other patches included.

CONFIGURATION AND USAGE
COMPATIBILITY
Obviously this will be incompatible with any mod that tries to do the same thing. Assigned Storage, General Stores, KR4FT, and Legacy of the Dragonborn's Craft loot system are all examples. Some of these system allow you to disable the crafting piece, (like LOTD), so for those you can disable the crafting piece in the conflicting mod, or disable Handy Crafting and use the other. I would recommend you use Handy Crafting and Spells.
I am currently using Handy Crafting and Spells with Legacy of the Dragonborn - to do so I disabled LOTDs Craft loot system, and then modified the Store Items in Safehouse to not store any crafting materials, and then made sure Handy Crafting and Spells is enabled. All LOTD Crafting stations now work and patches come with the mod for it. I played half the game with Craft Loot, and it was SO BAD I decided to write this mod, if that gives you an idea of how much better this is.
Legacy of the Dragonborn by icecreamassassin: This mod has a "craftloot" feature that functions very similar to mine. If you wish to use this mod instead, you will need to go into LOTD's configuration menu and disable this feature. It is my understanding that Craftloot is disabled in the current version of LotD, so Handy Crafting is Handy indeed!
Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim by Enai Siaion: This mod has a feature where you can upgrade crafting stations to an "advanced' version. The upgrade process works without any problems for this mod, but the "disassemble" option does cause some minor problems; when you disassemble a station, Handy Crafting and Spells thinks that you are using the station and moves the appropriate ingredients to your inventory and waits for the crafting menu to close. To fix this problem, simply stand back up and activate the crafting station again; Handy Crafting and spells will once again operate normally.
If you have a compatibility issue, please feel free to contact me and if I can I will patch it.
FUTURE PLANS
Keep on updating and patching this thing, it's becoming better than I ever imagined it could be!

v3.0 Partial Changelog
Spoiler:
Show
- Removed individual crafting stations lists, capped ingredients and protected ingredients. Replaced with Added Ingredients and Blacklisted Ingredients. Blacklisted Ingredients are ignored by Handy Crafting.
- Removed Restricted Mode. If Handy Crafting is enabled it now works everywhere, all the time.
- Changed the mod so that the Added Ingredients list and Blacklisted Ingredients lists update as they are changed, and then kick off an automatic update of the master ingredients list that then removes any blacklisted ingredients from the master ingredient list after a change.
- Added Handy Sell Chest, items placed in it are sold after a short time for 50% of value (no experience is granted).
- Updated all spells to use UIExtensions Menus.
- Added options to Handy Store and Retrieve spell to allow editing of Added and Blacklisted Ingredients lists. Added option to open Handy Sell Chest. Added option to toggle Auto-Store Ingredients.

- Ingredients are now retrieved when activating a "Fertile Soil" for planting, and stored after exiting that menu. This feature includes all the changes from Simplicity of Seeding - Better Hearthfires and Farming CC Planter Scripts
- Added options to Bag of Holding spell to Open Bag of Holding, Fetch all items from BoH, and move all items from BoH to the Handy Sell Chest to be sold. This last option opens the Handy Sell Chest to give you one last chance to remove anything that you do not want to be sold. Quest items will not be moved from BoH to Handy Sell Chest.
- Updated Handy Teleport spell to include all vanilla/AE/CC Player Homes, and other additional locations including Faction HQs and most cities and towns, along with other relevant "Handy" locations. UIExtensions are used for the Menu now as well.

Added the Added Ingredients and Blacklisted Ingredients options to MCM. Added option to open Handy Sell Chest. Updated interface text file with all the changes/fixed spelling errors. Removed functions from MCM script that are now included in player alias script. Removed events no longer used.
- Removed the conditional quest script and moved all functions from it to the player alias script. Added a helper script to the quest with some of those functions set up as global functions to make patching other mod's scripts easier.
- Now using Keyword Item Distributor (KID) instead of esp plugins to patch keywords to enable Handy Crafting for unsupported crafting stations.
- Now using BOS and records in the mod itself to add scripts to objects when necessary for easier patching.
- Included several scripts to reduce Papyrus load during the OnItemAdded and OnItemRemoved events.
Crafting, Storage and Travel Quality of Life Enhancements
CRAFTING AND STORAGE ENHANCEMENTS
- Incredibly fast, very configurable, extremely robust, small, nearly invisible crafting cloud storage solution. Other mods attempt to do this, Handy Crafting and Spells succeeds.
- All stored crafting items silently and automatically transferred to player when activating crafting stations or NPC Vendors for maximum compatibility, and returned to cloud storage when the crafting menu or barter menu is closed.
- Ingredients automatically transferred to player and back to cloud storage in other appropriate situations such as when activating Fertile Soil, a Fish Hatchery, Spider Chamber, Atronach Forge, etc.
- Carry Weight Buff always applied so that you receive no encumbrance messages while ingredients are added to player. Buff is only active while ingredients are in your possession.
- Auto-Store feature, automatically stores ingredients as you harvest them. Crafting enhancement easily enabled and disabled via MCM. Auto-Store feature can be Enabled/Disabled via MCM or toggled using the Store and Retrieve spell.
- All vanilla and most mod added crafting stations fully supported, other stations can be patched to work easily using KID, or worst case BOS and a script.
- Blacklist ingredients to ensure that they are NEVER stored in cloud storage and stay in player inventory at all times.
- Add ingredients to Added Ingredient Lists via MCM or spell. Almost 300 ingredients included in the default lists, and any item or ingredient can be added to the list and stored and retrieved via spell or MCM, or crafting/talking to a vendor.
- Add or Remove a powerful spell to Store and Retrieve crafting items outside of crafting stations, ensuring that you can use your ingredients easily with ANY station simply by retrieving ingredients, crafting and storing again if the automatic functions don't work with a crafting station.
- Use the Handy Sell Chest to sell items at any time. Accessed via Handy Store and Retrieve spell, which can be hotkeyed.
- Bag of Holding Spell to open an Interdimensional Bag to store other, non-crafting items while adventuring. Items are stored and no longer count against player carry weight. Cast spell again to retrieve stored items. This is for non-crafting items, like extra armor, weapons, potions, etc.. You can automatically have Handy Crafting sell everything in the Bag of Holding with one menu option.
- All spells can be added to or removed from player via MCM.
- Hotkeys can be assigned to all spells. If spell is removed from player, hotkeys still cast spells, so your spell list doesn't contain unnecessary spells.
TRAVEL ENHANCEMENTS
- Teleport spell that allows you to Mark and Recall 8 locations, and will teleport you to nearly 50 predefined locations, as well as return to the last place you teleported with the spell from, or return to where you returned from. When Marking or Recalling locations a dialogue shows all marked recalls so you know which one to select. Almost 50 teleport destinations in all.
- Conjure Ghost Mount spell, conjures a Ghost Mount. She is invincible (she is a ghost after all), and can run a bit faster than your average horse. Walks on (or under) water. Handy mount to have when you need to climb a mountain.
- All Spells can be added to or removed from player via MCM.
- Hotkeys can be assigned to all spells. If spell is removed from player, hotkeys still cast spells, so your spell list doesn't contain unnecessary spells.

INSTALLATION
- SKSE and SKYUI are hard requirements for this mod and must be present for it to work. As of version 3.0, PapyrusUtil, Keyword Item Distributer (KID), and Base Object Swapper (BOS) are required. Papyrus Tweaks NG is recommended. A new game is only required if upgrading from a previous version, the mod should be safe to install mid playthrough if you don't currently have a version of the mod installed.
- Install via a mod manager using the normal methods for whichever mod manager you use. Make absolutely sure that all requirements (AND THEIR REQUIREMENTS) are installed. I recommend using MO2 as your mod manager. Because I patch several scripts my mod MUST BE ALLOWED TO OVERWRITE ANY MOD IT HAS A CONFLICT WITH. If you allow any Handy Crafting and Spells file to be overwritten there is a very good chance that something won't work correctly anymore. If you have a compelling reason why my mod shouldn't win please share it with me, maybe I need to patch something...
- Once the mod is installed and you load a save game (or start a new game) you will see a series of messages, the normal order is "Handy Crafting and Spells Initializing...." then "Handy Crafting and Spells Successfully Initialized" and then something like "MCM: Registered 1 new menu(s)" - after the menu has been registered the mod is fully installed and initialized, no other configuration is necessary for it to start working. Handy Crafting will disable itself while it updates lists on save load and re-enable itself after, you will not be able to store or fetch ingredients while this happens, although it typically only take a few seconds.
- Patches included in version 3.0:
- Hearthfires (Scripts for Fertile Soils, and Fish Hatcheries)
- Dragonborn (BOS and script for Spider Imbuing Chamber)
- CC Be A Farmer (Scripts for Fertile Soils)
- CC Divine Crusader (Script for Papyrus load fix)
- CC Nchuanthumz (Script for Papyrus load fix)
- CC Fishing (Script for Aquariums)
- CC Tundra Homestead (KID for Baking Surface)
- Brewer - An Alcohol Brewing Mod (KID for Breweries)
- Hunterborn (Scripts and KID for Scrimshaw, Primitive Cooking and Soups and Stews)
- Legacy of the Dragonborn (KID for Archeology Station and Scripts for Natural Sciences displays)
- Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim (Script for Smithing Recycling perk)
- Mystic Condenser (KID)
Additional patches can be found HERE (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64843).
CONFIGURATION AND USAGE
- After the Mod has initialized go into the MCM and look around. Assign some hotkeys on the configuration menu. Any ingredients that were in your inventory when the mod was installed should be stored now, use the Spell, or the MCM to open the ingredients container to see what was stored.
- If you have ingredients left in your storage that the mod didn't store, no worries, go into the MCM (or use the hotkey you assigned to the store and retrieve spell to cast it), select the added ingredients list, and add the ingredients you want added to the list to the container it opens. When you close it the items will be added to the appropriate list and any items you have placed in the container are returned to you. Items will be stored automatically after the list updates itself.
- Activate a crafting station and all your ingredients will be available. Exit the crafting menu and they are removed from inventory. Need an item in storage? No problem, use the hotkey you assigned to the Handy Store and Retrieve spell and retrieve it, or just cast the spell normally and retrieve it. Or use the MCM. Flexible, isn't it?
- Go to a NPC Vendor and start talking to them, ask them what they have for sale. Your inventory now includes everything that was in cloud storage, so you can now sell whatever you would like.
- Use the Handy Bag of Holding Spell as temporary storage for excess armor, weapons and other items gathered while adventuring. After you have removed items you want to keep, use the spell menu option to move it all to the Handy Sell Chest to be sold. Review everything closely and if you want to sell it all close the menu. Wait a few moments and everything will sell and the gold will be added to your purse.
- Use the Handy Teleport Spell to Teleport to nearly 50 predefined and custom locations.
- Use the Handy Conjure Ghost Mount to summon a mount should Handy Teleport not get you close enough to your desired location.
- Give me feedback on how I can make this mod better :)
