📋 About This Mod
This mod allows legendary enemies to drop not only vanilla equipment and legendary effects but also those added by any installed mods. Using F4SE, it directly reads the mods installed by the user in the game, so there's no need for ESP modifications. Simply install and use the mod.
In addition, not only legendary enemies but also locked chests and the “Boss Containers” found at the end of most dungeons can contain legendary equipment.
Old‑Gen or Next‑Gen users, please use the Main version from the Files tab.
AE or lastest version users, please use the AE edition.
The mod also lets you adjust various settings through MCM, such as the chance for legendary enemies to drop legendary items, whether those items will use the mod's 'Loot Expansion' system, and — if so — whether the dropped item will be a weapon or armor, all based on your preferences.
If the dropped item is a weapon, the mod will use your configured probabilities to determine whether it is melee or ranged.
If the dropped item is armor, it will first be checked against the probability for power armor. If it’s not selected as power armor, the mod will then evaluate the chance for regular armor (such as Raider or Leather armor).
If neither power armor nor regular armor is selected, the item will be chosen from the remaining armor categories that exclude power armor — including outfits, regular armor, and accessories.
Note:
By "Regular Armor," this mod refers to armor items marked with the 'ObjectTypeArmor' keyword found in plugin files with the .esm extension. Since there is no clear-cut distinction between outfits and armor, this definition was established as a practical guideline. Please understand this is a convention specific to this mod.
+ If desired, you can enable the Legendary Crate Settings feature to receive equipment boxes instead of direct equipment drops.
Legendary Loot Crates can be found in boss containers such as Large Trunks. Using them will spawn legendary equipment. The drop chance can be adjusted in the MCM.
Locked chests can also contain Legendary Loot Crates. The drop chance can be adjusted by lock difficulty in the MCM. For Safes, the chance is tripled.
Below is the information regarding filter settings. Users who do not wish to configure filters can simply use the mod without making any changes.
You can also apply different drop rates for legendary equipment depending on whether the enemy is classified as strong or weak. However, to enable this feature, you'll need to add the desired RACE to the relevant form list in the ESP.
Additionally, if you want to exclude certain equipment from dropping, you can add the weapon or armor to the LLE_UserExcludedItemsList, and
