The Story

Care to guess why I created this? Yup, Pegasus Estate . While I wanted a place for everything in my house, I didn't want everyroom to look like a cellar full of crates and basket.
I felt that creating object that looked like a pile of books to tidy books in was a double win: it was easy to find my books (unlike rows of labelled chests) and, the room would look like it has books in it.
Making the mod was rather simple as I used nifskope to cobble up the pieces I wanted, I even re-modified some ovjects from hold it to make then sit nicely on a flat surface

The mod

Containers!

This mod is a resource pack for modders and adds nothing ingame.

The new containers look like what they are meant to contain, for example, the container called “Shirts” is actually a pile of shirts; the one called “fruits” is a basket full of fruits, etc.

The complete list of containers is as follow:
