HOW TO USE

Backpacks which are set down do not remove torches or waterskins on purpose. Because of this, they do not appear on the backpack once set down.

Backpacks without anything in them can be used as usual. That is, they can be unequipped, discarded, put into other storages, etc.

Backpacks with objects in them cannot be unequipped other than by setting them down with the "Backpack Key". If you want to store the backpack somewhere or unequip it, first remove all items from it.

If you want to switch backpacks without having to remove everything from your current backpack, put your current backpack down, equip the backpack you want your items in, then pick your previous backpack back up. Items will be transferred into the new bag and the new bag will be automatically re-equipped.

The MCM tells you where the backpack's current location is. If you lose your backpack, you can use the MCM to send it back to you.



Users looking for something to expand the versatility of this mod's idea, whether by making more things act as containers, or by spawning new objects in general, are encouraged to see Storage Helpers﻿, which does everything this mod does and more.



tl;dr: Press the MCM "Start Mod" button, get any backpack, press the "Backpack Key," use your storage, press the "Backpack Key" again to equip the backpack.





COMPATIBILITY

KNOWN BUGS

Rarely the backpack won't show up when you set it down. This shouldn't hurt anything. Going through loading screens tends to fix this.

Requiem Players: There's a fun side effect of modifying the weight of the backpack: the heavier the bag, the slower you get. However, this occasionally modifies your mass incorrectly. Luckily, this is a soft alteration, so fix this, simply recalculate your mass. One way to do so is to visit the perk screen.





FUTURE DIRECTIONS

I'd like to make some patches for other Backpack mods, so let me know which ones you'd like to see patches for.

Once a stable SKSE64 comes out (i.e. not alpha), I'll port this over to Skyrim SE.

Right now the scripts are rather slow. I'm guessing I can speed them up.





FAQ

Q: Why don't you let players unequip backpacks that have items in them? (Note that you can still set them down, you just can't unequip them)

Q: I lost my backpack! What do I do?

Q: Wait... can I use that "Return Lost Backpack" to abuse carrying a virtually endless amount of weight?

Q: Will this be released for SSE on PC and/or consoles?
