✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 259 endorsements and over 10k downloads
- Simple, focused change that makes early-game bandits feel more authentic
- Bosses keep their loot, so endgame rewards stay intact
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2025 — may not be compatible with future game patches
- Only affects bandit gear, so other enemy types remain unchanged
For Skyrim players who want a more grounded early-game experience where bandits aren't wearing glass armor. If you're tired of level-scaled loot making bandits too tough or too rewarding, this mod is for you. Skip if you want a comprehensive economy overhaul or changes to boss loot.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod file in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2
- Load order doesn't matter much, but put it after other mods that alter bandit inventories to ensure it takes effect
- If you're using a mod that changes bandit levels, test early to see if the gear swap works as intended
