Autoloot conditions

[Bobsama]

So, here's a question: what are the conditions required for the autoloot (the item pool) to activate? I've been noticing recently that Autoloot doesn't work for me. In 1 game, it works but in the rest (4 others now), it never activates. When I have a garrison I can hire my constable who holds the treasury and lets me access both the item pool and the household inventory, but the item pool still won't work. The only thing I've noticed different between the differing games is that, in one, I am married. In that one game, the Item Pool is accessible and fully functional. In the rest where I'm basically a bachelor, it's not functional.

Am I correct in assuming that marriage is required for auto-loot?

I haven't used Diplomacy's autoloot personally, but according to the code it activates when you have a chamberlain and Inventory Management 3.

If you have just a chamberlain, you can talk to him to access the item pool, but none of your companions will autoloot.

So get 3 Inv Mgmt and then hire a chamberlain?

You don't have to do the two things in any particular order.  If you meet the requirements, autoloot will activate within a day if it doesn't immediately.

Ahh I see. I was unaware of the 3 Inventory requirement. It seems to work now. Thanks! (The other thing I noted was I was mostly playing CHA characters with low INT; I'll now remember to get 9 INT if I don't have 3 Inventory already.)
