Arod's Better Containers 1.40

Instantly move any items from your pack into any container. Easily Move, Rename, or Unlock any container... even from other mods! Stow your gear from across the world, or open a chest in your Skyrim home from anywhere else. You can even craft your own containers to add permanent new storage to any location.

Arod's Storage Solutions will forever improve your Skyrim experience. It works on any chest, barrel, pouch, sack or other container, and with any item you can put in your backpack, even if they came from third party mods. Supports Dragonborn, Dawnguard, and Hearthfire DLCs as well.

Works with 100% pure vanilla Skyrim. SKSE or other third-party enhancement software is NOT required.

WHAT IT DOES:

Smart Containers:
Stop clicking! Instantly transfer easily customizable sets of items from your pack into targeted containers. One click puts all your Smithing supplies in your Smithing chest, your Ingredients into your Alchemy pack, and your extra food into the kitchen cupboards and barrels. Best of all, YOU decide which items go into which containers... even if the items or containers come from other mods! Choose from any combination of 40 Presets, or teach any container specific items to stash for the ultimate pack-rat experience.

Remote Opening:
Forget something at home, but you're stuck in Sovengarde or Oblivion? Remotely open any of up to 6 chests from anywhere in the universe... they don't even have to be owned by you!

Remote Stashing:
Overencumbered, and miles from a town? Cast just one spell and all your excess items instantly sort themselves and teleport into your containers at home!

Rename Containers:
Rename that generic "Barrel" and "Chest" and "Sack" in your home to "Fish Barrel" and "Toys" and "Filled Soulgems". Over 60 options to choose from, with more added in each new release.

Craft Containers:
Make your own Barrels, Chests (3 types), Safes, Strongboxes, and more! Install them in any house, anywhere you want! No limits and no restrictions: all the storage you could ever need, anywhere.

Move Containers:
Don't like that Barrel by the fireplace? Move it to the bedroom! Tired of walking all the way to the Guildmaster's chest? Move it closer to the exit! Don't feel like fighting the dragon? Summon his loot chest to your hiding spot while he's sleeping! Best of all, since chests and barrels are heavy, you can even use them as weapons, knocking over enemies.

Remote Unlock spell:
What did your mother tell you... STOP PICKING! But this one's a little different than your standard unlock spell, and a lot more fun to use... use telekinesis to guide a lockpick to the distant chest. If your Alteration and/or Lockpick skills are high enough, it opens automatically, or you can pick it yourself from a distance, and watch the items fly into your pack.

UPDATE 1.1 NOTES:
________________________
1.1 Released Today!

Many containers in the world can now be picked up to your inventory and dropped anywhere else in the world. Their inventories remain intact!

Added Physics to crafted containers - just drop them on the ground and drag them around.

Added many more Craftable Containers, including pouches, sacks, coffins, and crates.

Containers purchasable from many vendors.

Fixed the "Forget Items" and "Forget Chest" bugs that many folks were getting since last patch came out.

Removed numerous Quest items from Presets. This only affects new presets; containers that have already had presets applied will still grab Quest items... just tell them to Forget and tech the Preset again.

Added Powers for the barbarian crowd.
