Skyrim Players Revisit An Old Exploit That Turns NPCs Into Infinite Storage
This Glitch Turns NPCs Into Storage Slaves In Skyrim is a bug that links followers to a shared inventory. It lets players access items from companions anywhere, anytime. Studies indicate this trick spreads quickly through modding forums and video guides.
How The Exploit Manipulates Follower AI
Normally, NPC bags stay locked during travel. This glitch reroutes object ownership, letting you raid their weightless stash. You move items, and the game treats them as stored loot rather than equipped gear.
Simple Takeaway
Use it carefully to avoid breaking quest items or corrupting saves.
