LE Inventory Management Inquiry: Specialized Containers

[Narratorway]

THE PROBLEM

 

Of all the issues Skyrim has (and let's be honest, every Bethesda OWGs in general), the most pressing has always been its inventory management. I haven't seen anything comprehensive in this area, so I'm gonna start small and see what I dig up:

 

THE INQUIRY

 

What I'm looking is a mod that offers the ability to place specific items in containers that are tied directly to a device. i.e. a container placed by an alchemy stand that I can only put ingredients in and that when I use the stand, it will list those ingredients along with whatever I have on me, or a bag next to a cooking pot that will only hold food to be used by that pot, etc.

 

Aside from that, are there any mods which:

 

- allow your horse to carry items.

- allow you to create and drop your own containers in the world

My current mod might be of use to you. It will give the PC "stash notes." Placing a stash note in a container will mark that container as your stash of some particular type – ingredients, potions, crafting, etc. You can place another copy of the note in another container and then both containers will share an inventory. So for example you could place a note in your apothecary satchel in Breezehome and another in Hjerim. That way you don't have to remember where you left your ingredients the next time you make potions. You could even use it to take over a bandit cave.

Just so to make sure I understand, you're mod would still require me to take those items out of the containers before I could use them?

Yes, but the containers autostore, so you could replace the items with the click of a button. I know it's not exactly what you are looking for, but at least you could designate a nearby container to hold your ingredients.
