📋 About This Mod
OWDZGHk9F_A
Just got a request from a sub to make Animated Mail boxes, and when I was tinkering around I found this neat little cut Animation. When you use a mail box initially you can loot it, but once used you cannot re loot the Mail box. which I guess is good, as it gives you an indication of all the mail boxes you have collected mail from and is probably the reason this got cut, but if you leave the area, or save and come back the asset will reset allowing you to activate it again. I am not sure if anyone else posted this, would be surprised if it hasn't given that it took around 1 second to make the changes. #
