SSE Auto equip/unequip fishing rod

[cmd673]

Ok, I've got a sword in my right hand and I happen across a fishing supplies bucket. I click on the bucket but it doesn't work because I have to equip the fishing rod first. Ok, so I go find the fishing rod in my inventory and equip it. Then I click on the bucket again and get to do some fishing. When I am ready to go, I leave and then happen across a bear. But I forgot to re-equip the sword so I go into battle armed with a fishing rod. This is a tedious mechanism.

 

Request: When I click on a fishing bucket and have a fishing rod in inventory, then equip the fishing rod until the line is reeled in. At that point, the original weapon/spell is put back on the right hand. If I accept the invitation to continue fishing, then the fishing rod goes back on and the process repeats. When I walk away from the fishing hole, my original weapon/spell is equipped and ready to use.

Not that it specifically achieves what you asked for (autoequip), but you *could use either an F number or numeric hotkey via skyyui's quick menu

 

for instance, on my game, I have:

 

F1 >> Dragonbone bow and dragonbone arrows

F2 >> Mehrune's razor ® and Whatshisname-starts-with-a-V's lucky dagger (l) (valdyr, val something. sorry game's not open)

F3 >> a pair of enchanted elvin waraxes (r&l)

F4 >> an enchanted dragonbone sword and the cool looking magic shield (whose name also escapes me at the moment)

#1 >> Spell "pacify", (both hands)

#2 >> heal other (right) and resurrect (left)... I'm a sucker for the deer and rabbits and the occasional goat, horses, and foxes especially.

 

for the last two, toggling once more will return to whatever else was equipped before

 

swapping weapons is a snap using skyui's quick menu formulated functions. (as in, snip snap and the switch or equip is done, fast as you read that snipsnap) You can also use them to swap wearables. I have two outfit variants I equip in this manner, although for them, I open quick menu,. choose the slot, then hit R to equip them all in batch fashion

 

if you try it, and if you get confused, (I did at first), come back and let me know and I'll give you a quick step by step.

 

best wishes

That is an interesting workaround for the problem. I have never used shortcuts because I play with a controller and not the keyboard. Do the keyboard shortcuts work with a controller?

[anjenthedog]

to be honest, I'm not sure. Do you have SkyUI installed, and if so, can you open quickmenu? if not...well, idk .

[cmd673]

Well yes I do have SkyUI with the quick menu which is how I always change weapons. But now we're back to the original problem of meeting the bear equipped with a fishing rod. That's why I wanted something to put the equipment back at the end of the fishing session.

[anjenthedog]

yeah, that's why I asked, to ensure you have the basic facilities for using those hotkeys, that is if you can map them to a controller vs traditional keybd. (which I don't know)

 

idk, anyway, good luck.
