Mod Request: stolen items sorter

[dstemmer]

Hello to everyone. First of all, let me apologize for making my first post on the forum a mod request, since I'm sure you're already inundated with them. It's a rather small request, though, and I think a lot of people would benefit from it.

 

I'd like to see a mod similar to the Alchemy Sorter mods that are out there (do a search for 'Alchemy Sorter' in the files library or click this link to see what I'm talking about), except instead of sorting alchemy ingredients, it sorts stolen items. Here's how such a mod would work: the player clicks on a chest, triggering a script that moves all stolen items from their inventory into the chest. This would be a godsend for players like me, who like to grab a LOT of stolen items (I'm playing with Oscuro's overhaul - most houses have nice stuff) and move them from town to town. Currently if I have a lot of stolen goods in Cheydinhal and want to move them to a chest in Bruma, I have to physically move every item from my inventory into the container, a painstaking procedure that takes me over 15 minutes and often causes the game to crash. I do like having to move items from city to city, since it makes the game more realistic, but transferring them to chests one by one makes me want to pull my hair out.

 

Minimally, the mod would just move all stolen items into a single chest, but it would also be great if it were possible put them into chests separated by type, such as armor, weapons, books, etc. Each city would have one of these sorting chests in an acessible location, perhaps an inn or next to the town's Thieves' Guild fence.

 

I'd love to be able to do this myself, but I'm knee-deep in my Data Structures and Algorithms class in college right now and I think if I had to learn a new scripting language I'd commit sepuku. Thanks for your time and interest.

 

EDIT: I just remembered, when you get captured by the guards the game puts all of your stolen items in the evidence chest, similar to what my proposed script describes. Would that make this easier to implement?

Hey there, welcome to the forums. At the moment we're trying to keep all mod requests confined to the thread titled Mod Request Thread pinned at the top of General Mod Talk, as it helps to prevent forum clutter. If you could please repost this there that would be good. Thanks. ^^
