SSE Need a mod to remove quest items, any advice?

[Murielkai]

I just fnished the Pets of Skyrim CC and it left a bunch of trash in my inventory. Are there any mods for SE that remove quest items? Or mods for Oldrim I can update?

You can do that using console commands and mods aren't needed.
Use:
Player.RemoveItem <Item Form ID> <Amount you want to remove>

You do need to find the relevant IDs though. You can do this by searching for the items using the "Help <Item Name>" command.

Just be careful as removing some items can break your game. The Command "Player.Additem <Item Form ID> <Amount>" may fix it if you removed something you didn't intend to.

If you worry about weight, quest items despite what is said on the item, do not actually contribute to your carryweight.

As another alternative, you can also use player.drop, which instead of making the item vanish, makes you drop it on the floor. If it's something you'd like to display or keep for later use, you can then drag it around and let it sit where you want. (I regularly do this with Meridia's beacon, as I get tired of carrying it when I'm not ready to do the dungeon yet.) If you drop the wrong item, you can simply pick it back up.

 

If you want to use player.removeitem, you can point your console mouse at a barrel or some other container, get the ID, and add it to the end of the command. (ie: player.removeitem abc123 def456 - with abc123 being the item you want to place into container def456) An even easier way would be to put all your gear in a separate place, so all you have on you is the quest items, and you can use player.removeallitems (with or without a container code) to get rid of it all at once. *I have never tried to drop all, so I don't know if you'd have to do that one by one or not.

 

If you do need to pick only certain quest items to drop, the easiest way to find the ID is to use player.inv which will list your entire inventory. Use page up/page down to scroll the list, and it's definitely easier when you don't have much on you.
