📋 About This Mod
What This Mod Does This mod most of the cars in Fallout 4 lootable. Currently you are only able to loot cars that haven't exploded yet. The cars still act as normal cars so they will still explode after taking too much damage. When a cars explodes, its contents will be lost upon explosion.
Future Updates
If I do continue to work on the mod after release I will try to add: Lootable trucks and other vehicles Different items inside the cars Support for DLC areasBugs
This mod may cause the cell reset bug so I recommend getting the Cell Reset Workaround Patch and Buildable Power Armor Frames to avoid this from happening. Please leave a comment telling me if you still get the problem even when using those mods. I have yet to confirm this myself since I haven't experienced any problems with it yet.
