Need help finding the best storage solution


Recommended Posts

I've been playing Skyrim for a long time, using different mods to take care of my items storage. You know how easily your inventory gets cluttered, specially when you install lots of mods, and every enemy you kill has a different weapon or armor, different potions and misc items. I used to keep my storage in one place, but after a few playthroughs, even that is tiresome. Playing in VR can be really tiring, so I don't want to waste any of that time organizing my loot. I wanted to get rid of all the storage annoyances, I'm looking for the best mod combination that can make it as little painful as possible. Here are some mods I tried already:

 

- General Stores Mod: This was my previous mod of choice for cloud storage. It's mainly a mod resource, so can't be used alone. I used it alongside "Craftable Cloud Storage", which allows me to craft and spawn chests to access everything. But this requires crafting a key, dropping it to spawn a chest, put items inside to sort, and use another crafted tool to return the key to your inventory. It's kinda inconvenient. It would be better to have a single item to access the General Stores network without much hassle.

- Haven Bag: A portable home inside a bag. I used to play a lot with this mod, it's quite useful. You can teleport to your portable home wherever you are, and organize your inventory manually in the many containers you have there. But manually sorting stuff is a thing of the past. Also, this mod doesn't seem to work in Skyrim VR for some reason. I manually added the bag to my inventory, but equipping it does nothing.

- Dynamic Autosorting System: This mod allows you to configure specific containers for cloud storage, including one container that autosorts anything you put inside. It also allows you to mark certain crafting tables like tanning racks and alchemy tables, so the mod puts all the appropiate crafting materials in your inventory when you start using the table. It's very useful, but sadly has no means to access the cloud storage remotely, and I'd rather not have to go to my home to store my stuff.

- Zim's Bag of Holding: This mod is simple but very useful. It adds an item to your inventory you can use to access a remote chest. Not only that, but it also has a function to automatically send specific types of items to your remote chest as soon as you pick them up. It also has a spell that moves all the items from the remote chest to your inventory, so you can craft, and then quickly return them to storage. This mod has one problem tho: you only have one remote chest. If you have SkyUI, sorting is not a problem, but having too many items makes the game freeze of a split of second every time you try to put or take any item from the remote container. That is annoying, I'd rather have different containers for different types. Still, this is my current mod of choice, because autostoring looted items is extremely useful.

- Rado's Dynamic Auto Item Sorting and Crafting Item Transfer Enhanced: This mod has the same features as "Dynamic Autosorting System", but has more container types and support for Heartfire crafting stations. It also has an item to access the containers remotely, which is really handy. It looks like the best option so far, but sadly, it's a mod of Oldrim, and doesn't work with Skyrim VR (the game doesn't start if it is installed).

So, my best mod would be one that combines quick remote access to cloud storage and autostoring looted items, from Zim's Bag of Holding, with multiple storage containers, autosorting, and automatic delivery of crafting resources, like "Dynamic Autosorting System" and Rado's mod. Sadly, I haven't found anything that does it all.

 

What's your preferred mod (or combination of mods) to manage loot storage in Skyrim VR? I'd like to hear your opinions. And I hope those who haven't heard about these mods find this post useful.

I think I've found the perfect solution I was looking for. I ported "Rado's Dynamic Auto Item Sorting and Crafting Item Transfer Enhanced" mod to Skyrim Special Edition (the process is quite simple). I also have "Zim's Bag of Holding". So I got into the game, configured Rado's storage containers for each category, and then configured the Zim's Bag of Holding to be the "Drop off container". Now every item I pick up is instantly transferred to the bag of holding, and I can use the Rado's spell to access any of the categorized containers remotely. Every time I cast the spell, or open one cloud container, Rado's mod autosorts all the contents inside the Bag of Holding. So I can access all my items anywhere, organized in different containers, and without having to worry again about filling my own inventory. That's all I want! I hope someone else finds this useful too.
