Skyrim's inventory slots cap your hoarding at 150 items in 2026's Anniversary Edition, but mods and perks expand limits for ultimate dragon-slaying gear hauls. This review breaks down base mechanics, glitches, and optimizations for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
From weightless exploits to companion mules, manage slots like a true Dovahkiin across 200+ hours of play.

Each item occupies one slot regardless of weight (up to 300 carry). Stacks merge for gems/arrows, freeing space.
