📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 263 endorsements and over 31k downloads.
- Combines two popular mods into one package, saving load order slots.
- Adds a cool telekinesis effect that makes looting feel more immersive.
⚠️ Cons

For OpenMW players who want a more immersive looting experience with a telekinesis effect and safer stealing. Also great for fans of Merlord's Shop Around who want its features integrated. Skip if you play on the original Morrowind engine or prefer vanilla animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using OpenMW, not the original Morrowind executable, or this mod won't work.
