Steam Inventory Helper: What’s New?
Steam Inventory Helper (SIH) is a powerful extension for Steam users, designed to automate various tasks related to inventory management, trading, and profile customization. Recent updates have significantly expanded its functionality, making it even more user-friendly and efficient. In this article, we’ll delve into all the new changes.
Inventory Updates
- Custom Currency Exchange Rates
SIH now allows users to set custom currency exchange rates. This feature is especially useful for traders:
- When trading with users from other countries, adjusting the rate provides more accurate price displays.
- You can align the exchange rate with your region to simplify planning purchases and sales.
- Item Highlighting System
A new item highlighting system has been introduced, categorizing inventory items by their rarity:
- Items are highlighted in distinct colors based on quality (e.g., Mil-Spec, Restricted, Covert, etc.).
- The settings menu offers customization options, such as fully coloring the inventory slots or just the borders. A dedicated slider is available under the “Inventory” section.
- Price Inclusion
Previously, item prices did not account for attached stickers. Now, SIH automatically includes sticker values in the overall item price. This update is vital because:
- Stickers can significantly increase an item’s value.
- Collectors and traders can now see precise data, simplifying inventory valuation.
- Fixes for the Delete Button
The delete button for selected items has been fixed to address previous errors. The updated functionality includes:
- Removing profile comments with a single click, saving time.
- Resetting all selected items in the inventory without bugs.
- Clearing the Steam wishlist entirely with one click.
These improvements make inventory interactions smoother and more reliable.
Support for External Marketplaces and the Steam Store
- New Marketplace Integrations
SIH now supports five additional platforms:
- DMarket
- CSMoney
- Csmarket.gg
- IGXE
- Tradeit
Users can now view item prices across all supported marketplaces simultaneously. This streamlines finding the best deals, eliminating the need to manually switch between sites. Note: This functionality is limited to buying or selling items and does not apply to trading skins for marketplace items.
- Steam Points Shop Integration
For users focused on inventory aesthetics, a unique feature has been added:
- SIH automatically scans the Steam Points Shop and collects all available free items, such as profile backgrounds, emoticons, and animations.
- With one click, you can claim all available items, ensuring you don’t miss any free rewards from Steam.
This feature is perfect for those who love personalizing their profiles without extra effort.
Settings Updates
- Redesigned Interface
The settings menu has been redesigned for a more modern and user-friendly appearance. This makes it easier for newcomers to navigate and customize their SIH experience. - Settings Export
A new export feature allows users to save and transfer their SIH settings:
- Save your preferred configurations, including filters, highlighting options, and interface settings.
- Upload these settings to another device for seamless restoration.
For example, if you use Steam on multiple devices, you can configure SIH once and export the settings for easy transfer.
- Overhauled FAQ Section
The Frequently Asked Questions section has been updated to reflect the new features, making it easier to find answers related to setup, trading, and other aspects of SIH. - Enhanced SDA Functionality
The Steam Desktop Authenticator (SDA) now includes:
- A quick logout option for Steam accounts.
- One-click deletion of cloud data, improving security management.
Steam Inventory Helper continues to evolve to meet user expectations. These updates make SIH one of the most convenient tools for managing inventories and trading on Steam. If you haven’t updated SIH yet, now is the perfect time to do so and explore the new features.
