📋 About This Mod
Misc item shovel that allows you to dig graves and wont clutter your weapons. It\'s in Goodspring General Store. This file alters \"GraveContScript\" you be unable to dig graves with standard shovel so try not to lose it, and when you lose it the item code is XX000ADD. XX is your mod index in Fomm for example if you have only FNV.esm the item code will be 01000ADD. I think it\'s enough. Sorry for my English and Enjoy.

With 52 endorsements and 560 downloads, it has a small but active user base. Last updated in 2011, it's an older mod but still functional.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and straightforward: adds a shovel that lets you dig graves.
- Lightweight mod with no complex scripts or dependencies.
- Decent endorsement ratio (52 endorsements out of 560 downloads) suggests it works as intended.
⚠️ Cons
- Very old mod (last updated 2011) – may not be compatible with newer game versions or DLCs.
- Limited functionality: only digging graves, no other uses for the shovel.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter grave interactions or add similar items.
This mod is for players who want a simple, lore-friendly way to dig graves, perhaps for roleplaying or to access buried loot. It's also for those who requested it specifically, as it was made on request. If you're looking for a complex digging system, this isn't it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the shovel appears in your inventory or in the world – it might be added via crafting or a container.
- Test digging a grave in a safe area to see if it yields any items or just opens the grave.
- If you're using mods that change grave interactions, load this mod after them to ensure compatibility.
