Inventory mod request

[mireazma]

Hello, folks.

Inventory management has always been a drag, boring and time consuming in Fallout NV (can I hear an "Amen"? :tongue:)

I've been using inventory mods and I can tell they are of a great help, especially sorter-kind and iAssist.

What I especially like to iAssist is those ammo and craft containers which set iAssist apart from other inventory mods.

 

Before I propose what I would like as a mod, I'm asking you what do you do when you have your inventory configuration carefully set up to a minimum of required items and their quantities, and you loot some enemies or containers.

Once I loot them all that carefully "sculpted" setup is totally messed up. So it takes some good minutes to set up and only a second to mess up. One might argue that you go on looting several containers before re-set up. But still, they don't balance out.

 

From what I saw iAssist has a solution with saving the inventory and only taking/storing the "extra"-setup items. Let's say you loot a dead enemy. What do you do with the extra stuff remaining at the enemy, after you replenished the setup?

This is a little fuzzy for me.

 

The mod I'd like to use is a simple container just like one of those iAssist's, which you can carry (along with its stuff within) and transfer the goods from/to it directly to/from another container, without passing through your inventory. I guess this is the most difficult part: "directly".

You would put items from a crate, body, whatever into the said container, then take the container into your inventory. This way you keep your usable inventory setup and your looting as 2 separate things and you don't waste any time at all with setups. You then go home and unload your container to your precious stash.

What do you say?

 

EDIT:

I should have posted a new reply or at least be able to edit the thread title so users are aware of modifications to the thread but I haven't so not to be considered a bump.

Ok, instead of the extra container I mentioned above, there's a more simple and at the same time a more effective way to easily transfer items between any 2 world containers without touching the carefully set up inventory; moreover you can loot items without touching your inventory.

It hit me while playing with Willow companion who has a separate inventory interface, not backed up by a physical crate which you could drop/pick, but just the transfer interface - the player's items which are not to be touched by Willow.

 

So yes, this is the solution! Make a new interface (cache) having the capacity of the remaining free capacity of normal inventory and give the player the choice where to put the items: normal inventory or the "cache". Tada!

 

I just hope you guys at least see and read this...
