Stuffed Probes

STUFFED PROBES

This mod rebalances and expands the probe lineup as well as introduces

new models(only textures in some cases) based on game's materials.

Replacer version only replaces vanilla models and icons with ones from this mod.

Main Version Features

• []Expanded the lineup to 7 material-based probes: Bone, Iron, Steel, Dwemer, Glass, Ebony, Daedric.

• []Rebalanced their stats to my liking. Do not claim they are very balanced.

  []Introduced a parallel lineup of multiprobes. Same thing, but have 120 uses and

  weight like a proper amount of respective probes, cost a bit less usually.

• []Distributed a few (6 total) glass and ebony (multi)probes randomly in the world.

  []Placed a single daedric multiprobe in some place, near existing vanilla loot, but still difficult to reach.

  []Placed a single daedric probe in the world. There is a tiny structure in some mountains to explore.

  []Altered l_n_probe leveled list to incorporate everything up to ebony and daedric probes, those are pretty much finite.

  Replacer Version Features

  • []No esp, just files for compatibility and unchanged gameplay.

    []Replaced vanilla models and icons with new(or retextured ones) from this mod. Namely, iron, steel, glass, ebony and daedric.

    []As all models are made by repurposing vanilla ones with default textures, they could benefit from other retextures.
