[REQ] ContainerShelf Organizer : V

» Tue May 15, 2012 4:22 pm

While I don't necessarily want a custom house in Skyrim since they offer so many and they are pretty nice, I would like to see them modified slightly to have a "sorting" station.

There was a couple of house mods for New Vegas that had these sorting boxes you could use to sort all your stuff into other, more appropriate containers or place items automatically on shelves.

This would be nice to have in Skyrim for general items like potions, foods, ingredients, and books (though they do already have bookshelves that display items by using a container). Just simply put everything you want to store into one container, hit a button somewhere near it and all those items will be sorted into containers or on shelves, depending on the type of item and the container/shelf options of the house.

Maybe even change the houses a bit to make them better; like putting an apothecary satchel on all the alchemy tables that do not have one, or do something with that empty room in the basemant of the house in Solitude (the one with all the crates against the wall and the straw on the floor).

I plan to convert my alchemy chest to Skyrim as soon as we get the CK, fist as an fixed version then as an buyable and moveable container.
Would also be smart to have one for different crafting materials and food.

Read my mind, I considered the Solitude house to be 'teh top house' but after buying all the upgrades and noticing there are no chests/storage close to the enchantment and alchemy labs I was pretty disappointed. I will be personally revamping Whiterun and Solitudes housing (including fast travel icons and auto sorters) and quite possibly making a new 'out of town' home/estate once the kit comes out.
At the moment they are just not practical for what houses are really used for, and thats storage and crafting with the odd sit down to read area and somewhere to display your lewt, hopefully I should be able to make them practical while keeping them looking nice, for example Whiterun could really use a storage basemant, it would also be nice to have a forge outside the Solitude housing on the patio, which could be majorly improved.
