Magister Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hello, I am hoping someone can help me out. I am looking for a mod that can remove ALL the clutter from the game. This would include the following items (plus I am sure more that I won't think of as I type this)... > Utensils> Burnt Books> Embalming Tools and Supplies> Cookery> Plates, dishes, cups, etc> Food Items not in containers (cheese, bread, meat, etc)> Empty bottles (wine, etc)> Dwemer metal bits and bobs> etc Basically, I want to be able to move through a area and ONLY see items that would be worthwhile to pick up (ie: a potion, weapon, armor, skill book, quest object, etc). Anything else is only there to burden my pack and waste my time. I am a little OCD about checking everything and when playing games like this, I spend ridiculous amounts of time sifting, sorting, etc due to all the junk that is in the game that is essentially useless and serves no purpose other than to help immerse the player. I don' t require those objects for that reason and really only find them a hindrance. Never made a mod before myself, so I am not sure what is involved in stopping all of these clutter objects from spawning into the world - but I would even be willing to try to learn and how to do it myself, that's how much I want this mod! =) So, if it's possible and you can help out that would be amazing, or if it's not possible, or I am being unrealistic and need to modify my desires, please let me know that as well!. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merutan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Why you want to pick up everything you see? Pick up just what you need. Like good armor/weapons that can replace your current ones. Good health/magika/stamina potions that restore full health, grand/black soulgems. You saying about sorting etc. but who forces you to pick up all that stuff?Personally I pick up only worthy items and i think it is easy to see which ones are worthy. I'm opening chests but i'm usually skipping these urns. If you wish to pick up everything - of course it eats time but just leave it alone then. Complete some quest without picking up anything but quest items, and get your reward. Why not? Its not like you need tons of money and anyway completing like few quick radiant quests without picking up anything is probably like completing one with picking up everything, by time invested and money you get.

No offense, but I didn't ask for your opinion on how to play the game =) You play your way, and I'll play mine - I am confident if we can maintain this delicate balance, we will get along famously =) Thanks for bumping!

Merutan Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) The real reason of my post was not to make you play like i said. This was kind of explanation why this mod is not going to happen and asking for better reasons so it will be more clear why this can be useful for more than one person.Also English is not my native language and i'm somewhat confused by the word "you". Most of the time people understand it too literally because the whole sentence constructed somewhat wrong. Maybe this is exactly the case.

Nyhilisa Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Some of this stuff is used by things like the atronoch forge tho. (Can't remember how to spell it.) I can see why you'd want it - I check every container typically 2 times to make sure l didn't miss anything important - but there would be certain losses associated...

Magister Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) I'd be fine with losses - there are always work-rounds. As for "this mod is never going to happen" - there has been a mod exactly like this for all the previous fallout/morrowind type games that have come before it. Which is why I am asking for it here. I like to play through without a bunch of useless stuff drawing my eye away (ooh shiny! syndrome). I am quite sure there are many other people that would benefit from a mod like this, not only me. Perhaps it could be adjustable in some way, letting players select how much useless stuff they would like to have removed. Once again, thanks for the bumps. Cheers.

Magister Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 I've emailed some authors of mods similar to what I am asking for here in other games hoping to get some assistance. No word back as of yet, but I remain hopeful someone will help me clear up the trash in this game =) There are some interesting ways previous modders have gone about handling a request like mine, such as: - Having an item automatically collect all the "junk" items as you walk through a area and sends it off to a box in your home.- Another simply filtered out all items that sold below a set price, so any item sell for 0, 1, 2, gold wouldn't show up ever. Really just loads of interesting mods out there from previous games. Some more elegant than others to be sure. Another transferred all the items to a special container, which in turn allowed you to create special recipe items at a specialty crafter installed with the mod Honestly, I wouldn't mind terribly how the items were handled as long as I didn't have to see 900 plates, forks, bottles, tools, etc every trip through every area. It's all just so tedious and redundant. Fingers crossed someone gets back to me soon or someone here reads this humble request and decides to pick up the torch to help clean up skyrim =) Cheers.

Magister Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Update #1 So, I decided to give this a go and create it myself, since no one else was chomping at the bit to make this amazing mod! =) As I am sitting here looking through the editor at the moment, I saw a number and just laughed out loud > Basic Tankard - guess how many clutter the games various tables, bars, etc? 100? 500? 1000? ... wrong, wrong and wrong... WAY more. The exact number? 4179! and people wonder why I would request a mod that help clear up clutter items =) and that is just ONE item type, there are LOADS, in any case, just thought I would share that little tidbit with you is all hehe.
