The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Is there a way to make a merchant's inventory respawn quickly?

  • 1 of 4: Yes, if you don't mind exiting and rerunning the game.
  • 2 of 4: After doing business with a merchant, quicksave, then exit the game. (Note that quitting to the main menu won't do it.)
  • 3 of 4: Rerun the game and load your quicksave to find that the merchant's inventory and money supply have both respawned. (That goes for every other merchant, too.)
  • 4 of 4: Another way to respawn a particular merchant's inventory is to quicksave next to him, load an old save and talk to him, then quickrestore. Or you can quicksave next to him, attack him, and then quickrestore.
