Ever returned from an adventure with 200 pounds of loot, only to spend the next hour manually sorting it into the right containers?

SLID fixes that.

Set up a Link once. Drop your loot in the master chest. Watch it flow to where it belongs. Alchemy ingredients to the alchemy station. Ingots to the forge. Gems to the safe. Automatically.

How it works

Create a Link to connect containers with smart filters. Cast SLID and it reads the situation — every action through one power.

  1. 1 Find a container you want as your master chest (where you dump loot)
  2. 2 Cast SLID while looking at it and select Create Link
  3. 3 Name your Link (defaults to the cell name)
  4. 4 A config menu opens — assign filters to nearby containers
  5. 5 Done. Sort reshuffles all items across the network based on your filters.

Sorting actions

Sort Reshuffle the entire network: all items redistribute based on current filters
Sweep Reverse: pull everything from linked containers back to master
Whoosh Quick-deposit inventory items to master (configurable category selection)
Restock Pull potions, ammo, food, and supplies back from storage up to quantities you set. ~55 categories in 15 families with effect-based classification (NEW in 1.3)
Whoosh & Restock Dump inventory and restock essentials in one action — reset your loadout between adventures (NEW in 1.3)

Selling items

Register vendors for wholesale agreements — they visit your sell container on their own schedule. Requires the Investor perk and 5,000 gold. Invested vendors get a 5% price bonus.

  1. 1 Cast SLID on a container and select Set as Sell to designate it as your sell chest
  2. 2 Drop items you want to sell into it
  3. 3 Sleep or wait — SLID automatically sells items and deposits gold
  4. 4 View transaction history in the Sell Overview popup

One power to rule them all.

Cast SLID and it reads the situation. Looking at a container? Create a Link, set it as sell, or manage it. Looking at your master? Sort, Sweep, Whoosh, Restock, or Configure. Looking at nothing? Access all your Links, Summon, or Detect. One power, every action.

Remote Access

Conjure your stash. Anywhere.

Cast SLID and select Summon — a spectral container appears at your feet for two minutes — full access to Sort, Sweep, and Whoosh. Mid-dungeon loot drop? Summon, dump, dismiss. No loading screens, no fast travel.

Sell Automation

Sell while you sleep.

Designate a sell container, toss in what you don't need, then sleep or wait. SLID sells everything automatically and deposits the gold. Register vendors for wholesale agreements — they visit on their own schedule at better rates. Requires the Investor perk.

Follower Integration

Your followers carry their weight.

Nether's Follower Framework and Khajiit Will Follow storage containers appear directly in the filter picker. Assign armor to your tank, potions to your healer — SLID handles the rest. Followers auto-detected, no configuration needed.
