How to Duplicate Any Items in Skyrim

This is the most important part of the process; you will need to have a companion with you if you want to perform this glitch. There isn’t any specific companion you need to get, just any of the followers in the game and you are good to go.

Step #2: Go to the Whiterun

Once you have your follower/companion, you will travel to Whiterun, specifically to the city gates. You will need to go outside for the glitch to work so, this is the only location where you’ll be able to duplicate.

Step #3: Select the Items You Want to Duplicate

Now, select and drop the items you want to duplicate in front of the city gate. After you are done, tell your companion to pick up the items you dropped.

Step #4: Perform the Glitch

As soon as your companion has picked up the items, get outside of the city gates and then get back in. You need to be very fast, and if you have done this right, then you will see the items that you’ve asked your companion to pick are still on the floor inside the city gates.

Now, interact with your companion and ask them if you need to trade with them, and you’ll see the duplicated items in the inventory. Do this as much as you like until you have filled your item requirement.  

This is how you can use glitch to duplicate items in Skyrim. Otherwise, you will just have to download a mod that does this for you.
