✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a nice touch of realism for immersion-focused players who hate losing containers.
- Simple concept that works with existing drink items, no new assets needed.
- Tiny mod (22 endorsements) but does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not be compatible with current game versions or other mods.
- Only 22 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with a small user base.
- Description is cut off mid-sentence, leaving some details unclear.
For Morrowind players who value immersion and want to keep track of empty containers for refilling. If you're a survivalist who likes to reuse resources, this is a neat little addition. Skip if you don't care about container realism or if you're playing with a heavily modded setup that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2018, check if your game version is compatible before installing.
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Test with a save before committing — load a game, drink a bottle, and see if the empty container appears.
