- ***********************************************************
- 1. Installing the Plugin
- To install the plugin, unzip the files into the Morrowind/Data Files directory.
- ***********************************************************
- 2. Playing the Plugin
- From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box
- next to the Better Cursed Items.esp file. Nothing special needs
- to be done to start the plugin.
- requires tribunal because of script function
- ***********************************************************
- 3. Save Games
- This plugin will not invalidate your old saved games. If you save
- your game while this plugin is loaded, you may encounter error messages
- when you reload the saved game without the plugin. But you will be
- able to continue on with the original game.
- ***********************************************************
- 4. What It Does
- This plugin modifies the script on all of the cursed items in the game so that
- when they are picked up, they have a chance of spawning a random Daedra and
- the ingredient, or dwemer coin, or gold that is picked up is now stackable with
- the rest of the like items in the game. (it also modifies the scripts on cursed
- gold, which isn\'t found in the game, or at least which isn\'t initially placed any
- where with the CS)
- ***********************************************************
- 5. Credits
- Thanks to everyone on the ES CS forum that told me 5 different ways to write my script,
- for me to find out that I had a little error on my end that was keeping it from doing
- what it was supposed to.
- Thanks to Neoptolemus for the initial idea of spawning random Daedra, instead of only
- a Dremora Lord.
- ************************************************************
- 6. Usage
- Feel free to do whatever you want with this mod. Just give credit where it\'s due.
- Feel free to upload this to any site you wish, as long as you give credit where it\'s due.
- ****************************************************************
- 7. Bug Reporting/Known Issues
- I\'m the only one that bugtested this mod, and I never tested it with the items already
- in game, I only tested it in my test cell. But there should be no bugs, but one never
- knows such things. If you should happen to find anything, PM me on the official ES
- Forums at claudekennilol.
- p.s. reuploaded after being lost in oblivion
🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
This Oblivion mod tweaks cursed item scripts so picking them up may spawn a random Daedra, and makes associated ingredients, Dwemer coins, or gold stackable. A niche utility for players wanting more chaos from cursed loot, with modest community traction (19 endorsements).
✨ Key Features
Alters cursed item scripts to have a chance of spawning a random Daedra on pickup.
Makes picked-up ingredients, Dwemer coins, or gold stackable with existing inventory items.
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a fun surprise element to cursed items—random Daedra spawns keep you on your toes.
- Stackable loot is a practical quality-of-life fix for inventory management.
- Tiny but dedicated following (19 endorsements) from players who appreciate the tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009—likely outdated and may conflict with modern Oblivion mod setups.
- Very niche appeal; only affects cursed items, so most players won't notice it often.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Oblivion players who want to spice up cursed item pickups with unexpected Daedra encounters and enjoy tidier inventory stacking. Skip if you prefer vanilla behavior or play with heavy mod lists where old scripts might clash.
