You have the task of finding the hidden heir to a throne that sits empty. Tamriel's previous emperor has been slain, and with no true ruler the gates to Oblivion open and demons begin to invade the people and towns of the empire. It's up to you to find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
Bag of Holding modification, version 1.4.0.
This mod will add a wondrous little bag to your inventory called the "Bag of Holding". This bag allows you to store any and as many items as you want in it, weight does not matter! The reason I made this mod was because I found it quite pointless, boring and time consuming going back and forth to a dungeon just to clear out all the loot I wanted to sell/keep, besides that dungeon ain't going to reset till you've got all the loot you wanted anyway.
Using the Bag of Holding
When you first activate the Bag of Holding.esp mod and load up your game a Bag of Holding will be automatically added to your inventory just as you are left on your own at the start of the game, it is classed as a miscellaneous item. There are 3 methods to access the Bag of Holding:
1.) Drop the bag onto the ground and activate it to open it then activate it a second time to pick it back up.
2.) Click on the bag in your inventory.
3.) Bind the bag to a quickslot, now it's just a quick easy button press away to access the bag!

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Question: Why should I use this mod, isn't it cheating?
Answer: I'd call this cheating just as much as fast travel is. The bag was made to haul loot out of dungeons back to your base/house or to sell and the dungeons reset after 3 days of yourself not entering it anyway, so this just speeds your looting up a bit.
Q: I lost my Bag of Holding! Will I lose all my items? What do it do?!?
A: Don't worry you won't lose any items! To get another Bag of Holding just open the console via the ~ key and type in StartQuest BoHGive and you'll receive a brand new bag in just a few seconds.
Q: I managed to get myself 2 Bags of Holding because I wanted more storage but when I put items in one bag they'll appear in the other bag too, the bag is broken!
A: Nope the bag isn't broken, it was only designed to be one bag and will most likely remain that way too.
Q: So I put some items into my Bag of Holding like usual but when I opened it again some of them have disappeared! What's wrong?
A: What you are experiencing is the container bug (can happen to ANY container), seems repairable items can cause things to disappear... still a rather strange and random bug but what you can do it is remove all the items you can from the bag then close and re-open it, they should re-appear again hopefully.
Q: The Bag of Holding has no icon and nothing appears when dropped!
A: Two things can cause this, first you didn't extract the Bag of Holding.bsa and put it in your Data folder and the second cause is a rather strange problem with Oblivion and only affects a VERY small amount of people (some strange configuration?) anyhow remove the spaces from the ESP and BSA eg. BagofHolding.esp ect. and it should work fine.

Change Log:
A Future Version...
-An actual quest to acquire the bag maybe, a lot harder to make then the bag it self...
1.4.0 (04/12/2006)
-The Bag of Holding should now no longer disappear from quickslots (for good this time).
-When the Bag of Holding is dropped onto the ground and accessed you'll be presented with an options menu now.
-Added an option to make the Bag of Holding a quest item (see notes).
-Fixed OnDrop script blocks not running from items you put into the Bag of Holding (this problem had the most effect on the Nights of the Nine).
1.3.0 (30/08/2006)
-The Bag of Holding can now be opened from within your inventory without issues!
-Fixed a typo in the Bag of Holding quest popup.
-Moved back to the previous method of preventing the bag being put into it's self (looks better and works perfectly now, v1.2.6 was just a quick fix since I didn't have the time then to analyse the problem then).
-Tweaked the Bag of Holding's mesh to make it look a little better.
1.2.6 (24/07/2006)
-Added the miscellaneous icon to the Bag of Holding quest popup.
-Fixed the bag constantly re-opening when used from a quickslot.
1.2.5 (23/07/2006)
-Changed dropped bag behaviour to Activate once: bag opens, Activate twice: picks up the bag. This was done because it was impossible to use the drop method while swimming (had to drag the bag out of the water). In my opinion this makes it easier too, no more fussing around with sneak.
-Tweaked the Bag of Holding's physics so it doesn't "slip" through the ground on the rare occasion anymore.
-Small script optimizations.
1.2.0 (22/07/2006)
-The Bag of Holding is no longer a quest item.
-You can now also access the Bag of Holding from the ground when dropped.
-Improved the scripts so you can't place the Bag of Holding into it self (since it isn't a quest item anymore).
-Gave the Bag of Holding a weight of 5.
-Added perfect physics to the dropped Bag of Holding so it acts like any other item pickup from around the world (even bobs around on the surface of water too).
-Made the mod and readme more user friendly.
1.1.1 (29/05/2006)
-Placed the Bag of Holding icons into a bsa archive for easier mod management.
1.1.0 (24/05/2006)
-Improved the Bag of Holding icon.
-Added smaller versions of the Bag of Holding icon for smaller UI's/lower resolutions.
1.0.0 (10/05/2006)
