Please please if SSE is still an option would love to encourage you, also on Nexus would be great, have just got back into game as it now works on SSE whereas older had stopped, now have to adjust to nexus as none of Steam mods work.... ah well all the mods I miss have great memories. many thanks. :high5: :coolstar2022: :winterpenguin2023: :steamthumbsup: :macarons:

Found a conflict with the "Random Alternate Start" mod. Infinite loading screen on starting new game. Tried load order acrobatics to no avail. If anyone has issues running both these mods, you may have to drop one. Hate to keep Helgen's headsman waiting, godspeed

So far, I'm immensely enjoying the fishing mod. I restarted Skyrim after an absence of a few years and got this mod as well to make it easier to stash loot and ore from the Riverwood area before I move on to Whiterun. I just had something interesting happen, though. I made the chest and dropped it into Anise's cabin, in the basement, since my belongings are safe from being "refreshed" out of existance. Now the chest and anything I drop in there is listed as "STEAL THIS" when I examine them... Not a problem atm unless city guards come after me later...

SE, Please Arod as I been waiting years for you to do it:) I love your mod the first time it was made and place on here, soon after other mods like yours came and went, but your mod still is simple and easy to used, handy and you make your own chests to boot:) Thank you Arod Snaux :)

How do you get two containers to act as one like it says is possible when you use the container configure power? I want to be able to access the same contents by opening containers in various houses, for example, eg. access the same ingredients from the pouches in Breezehome and Honeyside.

Just converting to an SE version shouldn't be much of a hassle, unless you want to add new features or try to release on the Bethesda workshop.
Nexus is much simpler for SE mods, so much so that I've stop putting my own mods on Bethesda's site.
Arod Snaux  [author] 29 Nov, 2019 @ 1:23am 
I am considering an SE upgrade if there is still enough interest.
nogare321 27 May, 2019 @ 8:58pm 
I consider this an essential mod for any play through of Skyrim. Thanks for sharing your hard work.
Will you ever consider updating this for SE?

@ Fireflyknight85 In the instructions on the Arod's page, is the best way to find out stuff.
- I remember the first book I found, as being in Dragons Reach. On the table, in the tiny library, behind Farengar. There are others, but you only need 1. I am working my way through the rest slowly. have fun.
FireflyKnight85 20 Jul, 2017 @ 4:22pm 
i am not getting a book, or note in my inventory with instructions. i have figured out how to teach a container what to store, but cannot get it to designate a container to remote stash in.

@ missholly !
- was slightly annoyed and looking for a system fix - found 'help' haha in plain sight down the list
It explains how to use the basic spell in "Arods containers' !!!!

Basically it's; - Choose what you want in powers + + + Hit [gently] your "shout" key -

- it works 'cos I just learnt to 'sit' and was ***** as I just couldm't get it to work,
now I can sit with the khajiit !! way kool !!
You may have already found this, I thought I'd try since I have found many helpful tips here read for yourself if unsure :)
Kad 7 Jul, 2017 @ 12:52pm 
Hi ! Wondering if this mod is still being monitored ? Can Someone Help, Please !
Like 'missholly' I feel dorky - as long as I have had this mod, and it has been awhile. I have periodically tried to set up, or use spells, to action the abilities, with no response.... [huge sad face] I will click by the action, but not be given a hand to use - as in normal spells. I can drop items, if quick enough, vaguely position, more often I have to 'disable' and retry. [Just learnt that, amazing rage-quit saver] I really want, to rename containers in my homes. The rest is icing.
I love this mod for many reasons, and will not uninstall.
I have Hearthfire, & the Hearthfire Mod. Cannot use Nexus, BOSS ? or 'SKSE' ?. [red face]
Many, many thanks, to Arod Snaux, and all those who choose these mods. :steamhappy:

seems Container: remote Open/Remote Stash and telekinetic chest may be found in Nelacar's room, in the bottom shelf of the bookcase. he can be found in the only inn in winterhold. cant miss him if you do the star of azura quest.
[ĽÊGΣŇÐÆŔҰ]™ Nemo 5 Nov, 2016 @ 7:56am 
seeing as others are asking for the book locations i thought id mention the books as i found them: nightblade's grasp can be found in the Dainty Sload, a ship that can be found North East of Solitude and just south of Solitude Lighthouse. will post the other locations as i go (will try and edit this post but it really depends)
andreg71 9 Oct, 2016 @ 3:48pm 
The process to use this feature is very poorly programed. About 90% of the time, casting the spell to Configure or Stash items, MISSES the wrong contrainer. Why does this not work with the selected container. For example a row of safes. It never configures, renames or stashes the one the that is selected and/or directly in front of the character. It ends up selecting the one either on the left or right of it. WHY? This is a serious flaw and a waste of time to use. I'm unsubscribing and never will use this until it is fixed.
BrotherJeffrey 16 Aug, 2016 @ 7:43am 
Not sure why I can't get this mod to do anything? I installed it, it loaded, gave me the spells but, the spells don't seem to do anything. Any suggestions?
Zaxius 8 Jul, 2016 @ 9:06pm 
First let me say thanks. This mod is GREAT! Combine thi with the craftig and smelting mods and now all that loot thats was before just useless can be sent back home where it can be smelted down into useaable ingots. No more leaving valuable loot behnd! Way to go!!

On a side note though just a suggestion but is there any way you could set remote stash to IGNORE anythng that is favorited? Would be a huge help not to stahs my custom gear. As a work around I put my custom gear in the crate it gets stashed in by itself then teach it to UNLEARN those items. Problem is I craft a lot and this could get triesome after a while. If the system ignored anything favoirted might be a big help. Just a freindly suggestion. But overall VERY COOL MOD! In fact its my favorite mod yet! Thanks again.
missholly 26 May, 2016 @ 10:52pm 
I must be a huge dork but I cant figure out how to set up containers at home.
ASOG~ChewieSnr 25 Aug, 2015 @ 3:17pm 
Have added all your mods I can in support, our best wishes for continued happiness.

Have experimented, learnt to drop & place - if quick enough. Lots of 'too slow' containers'... :( Haven't a clue on naming, or distance usage, for overloaded & far from home. Can see all the places I can use this, but not the ability. Could I really move vanilla items ?? Wow..
Be great in Hearthfire !! & third party... [- no criticism - just an individuals taste for own clutter ]

Sorry for all on one page, didn't think it was nice to send lots of seperate messages, but I can see your point, also got carried away and forgot what page I was on... see you on fishing...
Absurd Logic 30 Jun, 2015 @ 12:23am 
First of all, I adore this mod. Thank you. :)

However, I recently started getting a " You cannot teach any more containers to stash items " message when I try to configure anything (doesn't matter what type of container, or if it already has a 'memory'). I don't know how to get around it. Is the message a bug/conflict, or is there actually a limit on how many containers you can configure?
Joker961 10 Jun, 2015 @ 2:54am 
Huge time saver in the game. A lot less time spent sorting out hoards of ore and ingredients. Thanks for this mod. And I love being able to add more storage anywhere I want and customize it for the items I want to collect.
J_Dyzzle 21 May, 2015 @ 10:01pm 
Love the mod, but more precise aim would make it even better. Sometimes when I try to configure a container, I end up configuring all of the ones around the intended container....
genghis1964 17 May, 2015 @ 6:47am 
a fantatsic mod. wouldnt be without it
Mangar 25 Mar, 2015 @ 9:43pm 
First I wonder if a chest, bag, barrel and or strong box can be made like a moveable NPC so they can be placed or moved to a new home. Then while adventureing It be great to have a spell that casted displays a Blue Ghost drop chest or bag (you get 15 seconds to open it), which is tied to a players sorted containers placed back at the current home they have (once you exit the spell container the spells stops until it is casted again..
uwu 22 Mar, 2015 @ 8:33am 
how DO you rename containers?
Ace 12 Feb, 2015 @ 2:51pm 
I've been looking forever for a mod like this one! Great job!
Scorpion wins 3 Jan, 2015 @ 9:06am 
Useful mod, good work!
Dawne the bun 30 Nov, 2014 @ 11:40pm 
uhhhh is there a way to get the spells after you click the now i wanna find the spells? cause i clicked it when i got it three days ago and i was cramming for a test and now i forgot where it said it was!!!! T-T i really love this mod but don't wanna set everything back upp!!!!
Cha 19 Aug, 2014 @ 7:52pm 
Really nice mod once it's all set up. Huge time saver after wiping clean a few places :D Also well integrated into the game, you don't feel like you're cheating or breaking character.
Supdalat 17 Aug, 2014 @ 1:42am 
First, Love the mod. i have gone through multiple mods that let me store tuff from anywhere but this is the best.
a few problems i noticed
1) Dosnt work on wardrobes and a few other objects.
2) open stash is very costly
3) Very time consuming to set up
mc_rog46_sd1 15 Aug, 2014 @ 5:58pm 
@Butt the mod is SkyUI and it also requires SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender). I love it and I am sure you will as well.
Jak 4 Aug, 2014 @ 3:33pm 
Hey!
Love the look of this im gonna sub in a second but whats the mod you're using in the first picture with your inventory sorted differently? I've seen this is other places and I want it but I dont know what its called.
Thanks
mc_rog46_sd1 4 Aug, 2014 @ 2:26pm 
Thank you, this is the most useful mod I have.
Spin_ironfist 22 Jun, 2014 @ 1:54pm 
I Rename the barrels, then it doesn`t lost. But when I enter in the house, aleatory itens are respawned inside them. Perharps don`t be a good idea use picked containers.
Spin_ironfist 22 Jun, 2014 @ 12:47pm 
Bugged. I pick up some barrels, and put it in my house. When I return to house the barrels has lost.
mandckotsakos 20 Jun, 2014 @ 4:45pm 
I love this Mod! This is THE most useful mod I've found and I play around 200 mods. One suggestion: change the mod so it doesn't remove your equiped and favorites items.
Lowa 11 Jun, 2014 @ 1:09am 
Is it in any way possible to only get the "rename containers"?
bmben29 30 May, 2014 @ 6:33pm 
what is the codes for the spells? I'm at the throat of the world and I don't want to walk back down when I have frostfall and will most likely freeze to death on the way down
Skorne Tet'Zu 18 May, 2014 @ 9:46pm 
Well I just got locked out of a container which contained my Dragon Bones and Scales, and a number of other items I was collecting. Obviously the author isn't dealing with this mod any more...and niether am I.
Skorne Tet'Zu 11 May, 2014 @ 7:31pm 
Part 2 or 2

however... I'm concerned about something similar happening to other chest. Some of them have a ton of stuff which is difficult to come by; or takes a while to collect; I'd hate to get locked out of those.

Any ideas why this would happen; and what I can do to prevent futher issues? Since running your Mod I've only added a couple of others; but mostly cosmetic; nothing which changes containers and such. Also this container, along with the majority of containers I have built, are located in a Breezehome Basement Mod (if that matters).

I know that's not much to go on, but any help is greatly apprecated. Advanced Thanx!!!
Skorne Tet'Zu 11 May, 2014 @ 7:31pm 
Long Winded.... Sorry - Part 1 of 2

Very Cool Mod... Very Very Convenient. However... I just ran into a slight problem. I have several chest which I built, placed and named in my workshop. I pretty much made them all at the same time. All of them have been working great from the beginning. I don't use any of the commands other than manufacturing them, naming them, and Item Stash function on some, but not the one that isn't working.

However... suddenly one chest will not open. It contains my Workshop Gear (named: Gear) for Blacksmithing and Alchemy. The gear is normal (not cheated) with appropriate enchantments; so it's just stuff... nothing special. But I can't get the chest to open any more; no messages.. no crashes... it's just like clicking on an item you can't interact with. The fact is... I can replace everything in the trunk in a few minutes with the materials I have in my workshop;

~best mod ever~
Romero 27 Apr, 2014 @ 12:12am 
Cool. Thanks for the reply. I'll check this out.
Arod Snaux  [author] 26 Apr, 2014 @ 3:45pm 
If i remember rightly the remote access spells are in the East Empire Company Warehouse, sitting on a table in the overseeer's office. I was actually just about to reinstall Skyrim and will let you know if that's wrong. I vaguely recall there are copies in the archmage quarters as well.
Romero 26 Apr, 2014 @ 6:23am 
Arod this mod is amazing. I issue though is how do I activate remote access. Do you remember specifically how that related quest is started and where do I go for it? Alternatively, could you please provide the console commands to activate the remote? Thanks and keep up the good work.
rmarsh3886 2 Apr, 2014 @ 1:07am 
thanks I'll go check
Arod Snaux  [author] 31 Mar, 2014 @ 6:06pm 
Bare minimum you should see some new Lesser Powers. You can also check the desk in the back room of the mage's quarters in Dragonsreach, Whiterun. There will be a book in there and re-adds the spells if they failed for some reason.
rmarsh3886 31 Mar, 2014 @ 1:50am 
cant get the mod to work ... What do I need to do or wohat am I not doing?
