📋 About This Mod
A simple game setting mod you can use to remove the chance of a weapon being dropped into the worldspace by a killed NPC. This only changes one game setting (iDeathDropWeaponChance). This is the chance, that a killed NPC will drop their weapon. This is set to 100 in unmodded Oblivion. This mod sets it to 0.
Why though?
I don't really know, I always downloaded a similar mod for Bethesda games in the past and have grown accustomed to looting weapons from the remains instead of looking for it in the grass or sometimes losing it to ragdoll. However, I'm not sure if its the case but from my experience this setting on remastered Oblivion makes them hold on to their weapons after death. Even shaking their hand wont loosen the grip. :)
A simple gameplay mod that removes the chance of killed NPCs dropping their weapons by changing a single game setting (iDeathDropWeaponChance). Ideal for players who want to reduce loot clutter or increase immersion. Lightweight and easy to install, with 236 endorsements.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod file in your game's Data folder or use a mod manager for easy uninstallation.
