== Accessing Other Mods' Items ==
 
Can anybody help me on how to access objects from other mods??  Or it is impossible due to some built-in restriction?

In my mod, I would like to show the player a list of everything  a vendor has to sell  (including items added by other mods).

But if I ref containers/items created by other mods, the script compiles OK, but crashes when used in the game

If I put those items in a new container (drag&drop in the CS), the container is empty when I open it in the game.

The workaround I found is to duplicate all items, but this would make my mod static: it would show the item even if the original Mod is not installed (and wouldn’t work, as the meshes/textures are not there)  and would not show items from mods that I didn’t duplicate items from.

:Yes, mods cannot access each other's items (for the most part). What you're wanting to do is best done with [[:Category: Oblivion Script Extender|OBSE]]'s [[GetFirstRef]]/[[GetNextRef]] and [[GetInventoryObject]].
 
:In terms of dealing with mod isolation in general, try reading the [[Mod De-Isolation Tutorial]]. It'll explain what you can do.
