Hidden stash (Dawnstar and Mararth)

[Imaginary Boy]

Sry for being a slowpoke but i launched SE for the first time since i bought it years ago xD I got a question but did they or is that patch or smth remove those invisible chests in Dawnstar and outside MArkarth? i can't found em

I forget what made them go away, but they are now buried too deep to get the goodies.

Given they were the Vendors inventory they needed fixing, you shouldn't be able to steal from the shops by finding an invisible chest.... steal from the vendors the normal way if you want to do it.

Why do you need those chests?

Just use the COC QASMOKE command in the console, and get whatever you want from all the cheat chests there.

"Player.additem *Item you want here* *number you want*"

Done....

Sure, it disables achievements if you've got no mods, but, achievements mean less than nothing when your cheating them anyway.......

Using console commands does not disable achievements, so player.additem will not affect obtaining them. However, if obtaining a certain item triggers an achievement, then it must be gotten through game play, so if you use player.additem to obtain a quest tied item needed for an achievement, you would not get that particular achievement.

If you are on AE, there are a few simple starter mods in Creation Club (CC), that I can recommend:
* Player Horse (adds a free black horse with saddle, at Riverwood, behind the inn)
* Player Starter Chest (adds a chest with some basic weapons and armor and some potions, as a free chest behind the wall (adjacent to river) next to the signpost before Riverwood gate)
* Warren Werebear (adds a cute werebear companion on the little island near the Guardian Stones in Riverwood - useful as a tank; you can use console commands to add Spriggan abilities to him, he looks even more cute then, LOL)

Starter homes that won't affect any mods:
* Home in a Hat (no exterior, cozy compact interior)
* Snow Globe House (beautiful snowy entrance, and spacious multi-floor interior)
* Alchemist's Globe (beautiful garden entrance, and cozy compact interior)

Huh.. never knew that.
It did disable them (and marked my saves as "modded") when i used the command in Starfield recently, so i figured it was the same for vanilla Skyrim.

Every vendor in game has a chest that contains their current inventory that is allowed to respawn over time. This is because the game engine requires all items to be physically available in the world. This is generally done using containers such as a chest.

These chests are usually buried beneath the ground near the vendor. You may be able to find many of these using the Toggle Collision command.

I don't know why Bethesda didn't just create a separate cell linked to each City/Town and put the vendor chests there. A linked cell that cannot be traveled to is what I used to place the Planter NPCs for active soil plots for a player home I created. This kept the NPC's from spawning in or around the house when the soil was used. I believe this is how Bethesda setup the Hearthfire DLC Build-Your-Own-Home (BYOH) planter NPCs.

It's a lazy exploit that got fixed, don't try to justify it by calling it OLD SCHOOL, not when some of us remember what OLD SCHOOL actually means.

Isn;t obtainig ANY item in game via mods or consoles is lazy exploit? Dude , 2 chest throughout whole game with some random loot worth honestly almost nothing is not worth even mentioning as exploit) it's just thing come into my mind when i visited Dawnstar my 1st playthrough in many years.

Buddy, don't worry about anyone challenging some semantics.
Just enjoy the game you want to.
Try out the basic/starter mods I recommended in my earlier comment.
They are nice without feeling as if they are cheats.

Via console commands, yes.
Via mods..... depends, some you have to buy, some you have to craft, some are rewards for a quest, these are not exploits, these are adding them to the game.... items just lying out in the open, yes those you can consider lazy.

Oh and exploit has a specific meaning here, it means taking advantage of bad design of the game.... something which is contrary to that Old School claim you made (Old School refers back to eighties and earlier when games where routinely hard, it was coined in the early noughties when games where getting easier)(which obviously does not combine with using an EXPLOIT)
