How to add item to vendor

Recommended Posts

How do I add a custom item that I made to a particular vendor's inventory--to Belethor's, e.g.

 

I don't want to add it to a leveled list--I just want one instance of this item to be sold by him and for it to be present in his inventory until it is bought.

 

Thanks !

Thanks Ryagard. I should probably specify that this is for a mod that I'm developing--not just for personal use, which might be relevant.

 

If I add my item to the chest then wouldn't my mod be incompatible with any mods that 'touch' those containers ? I sent icecreamassasin (see dragonborn gallery mod) a query on this and he suggested the way to go is the solution he spells out in this thread:https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/865514-how-to-give-newly-created-items-to-merchants/page-2

 

I don't like the idea of adding this kind of quest / script to my mod, but as far as I can see it's the only way.

 

Go to the Cell where Belethor is, and look into the void. In the void you will find a chest just chilling there, add your item into that chest and he will now sell it :smile:

The item should be rare, but isn't unique. Respawning would be fine. Thanks Lofgren !

 

If you don't want the item to respawn, it's a little bit more complicated. Is it OK if the item respawns, or is it absolutely necessary that there only ever exists one of them?

This method will only work of the vendor is set up properly. I am fairly sure that Belethor is, but I regularly run a mod of mine that fixes some vendors and I can't remember if Belethor is one of them.

 

If you go to Belethor's home, you can place a reference to the object and set the faction ownership to Belethor's service faction (usually something like ServicesWhiterunBelethor). There should be other items in his shop with the same ownership. Doing this will cause the item to show up for sale, and the reference will disappear when it is purchased. The reference will reappear when the cell resets (not when the vendor chest resets, which is more frequent).
