How do you make mods that have you drop weapons less tedious?

[shrtjsrtj]

There are a lot of mods out there that have you drop your weapon on the ground, and the idea seems cool but it never works well in practice. For outfits I have an outfit manager that doesn't care had it out of my inventory for a while but for weapons SkyUI just deletes my hotkeys and favorites if this happens. Closest I've found is Binding Gear, it handles dropping gear and picking it up again but with only 8 slots things get tight with it handling gear and weapons. What else is there?

 

Is there any way to make this less annoying? Having to open the menu, find the weapon, add to favorites, open favorites and add the hot key back only to do that all over again every time I get disarmed is too much.

 

It can also be a pain to try and find the item on the ground, I remember SL Survival had an item search ability which was pretty cool but is there anything else like that out there? This is less of an issue, but still something I'd like addressed.

 

So my question is, to those of you who use that setting, how do you deal with these annoyances?

It's doubtful there will be any mods that track favorited items after they are dropped as they would have to keep a list of every item you favorite, what the last hotkey it was assigned to was and check if that slot is open before restoring it. Considering SkyUI lets you set multiple equipment sets you can have quite a few things favorited and would have to check every item you pick up against that list. Even if you restrict it to specific types of items like just weapons it will still have to check every item to see if it is a weapon or not.

 

Personally any mods that can make you drop weapons if there isn't a  way to disable it or change it to unequipping the item I won't use. One specific instance I had I was using a weapon on horseback, finished the fight and put it away but a mod dropped it instead with no warning. I get to the next fight that was some distance away and I find I don't have that weapon anymore which was very rare and improved quite a bit. I like immersion in my game but there are limits.

I use Carry That Weight to massivly reduce my carry weight so I can only carry a little above my gear

And on top of that i use mods to increase costs of things (houses are 4x more expensive, carriage rides are 200-400, etc)
