About this mod

Adds more options when dealing with containers.

Permissions and credits
Container Magic gives you automatic sorting power over any container!

100% magic! No containers were harmed in the making of this mod. Meaning, no default (vanilla) game forms are modified, resulting in maximum compatibility with other mods. All game effects are scripted within the spell itself. Container Magic will work on any normal container, and though it probably won't work with special containers, like those added by the 'Automatic Item Storage' mod, it should not conflict with them either!

Uninstalling Container Magic will not affect the containers you have used it on. Neat, huh?

Update version 2.01

Problems reported with the sound of the spell persisting. This update aims at silencing Container Magic completely until I can set it properly. If you already have version 2, updating to 2.01 just involves replacing the existing files or using the NMM.If you are familiar with the CK and have suggestions for what the sound settings for the magic effect should be, let me know.


Installation & instructions


IMPORTANT: If upgrading from version 1, follow the upgrade instructions further below.


This mods requires SKSE.

Use the Nexus Mod Manager, or extract the archive contents into your \Skyrim folder, then activate.

The Container Magic spell will be added to your player the first time you load a game.

Simply cast Container Magic on yourself and open the container of your choice. The Container Magic main menu will appear with all its options.

Transfer times will vary depending on how many items are in inventory. During transfer, player controls are temporarily disabled. For proper results, do not do anything to affect your inventory during this time.


To upgrade properly from version 1:

- No way to separate out enchanted items.

- menu flow may need tweaking
