✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective: shovels become much easier to find, saving you from scouring the wasteland.
- Lightweight and esp-free, so it won't clutter your load order or cause conflicts.
- Community-tested with 305 endorsements and nearly 5k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.

For Fallout players who are tired of never finding shovels when they need them for digging up buried treasure or crafting. If you're a survivalist or collector who wants a more convenient way to get shovels without cheating, this is for you. Skip if you want a complete overhaul of loot tables or if you're playing on a heavily modded setup where compatibility might be an issue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's esp-free, just drop the script file into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- Make sure you have the Script Extender (NVSE or FOSE) installed, as scriptrunner mods typically require it.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it as a regular mod and let the manager handle file placement.
