📋 About This Mod
Ammo doesnt pickup from guns automatically. Instead you take more ammo from looting corpses.
More ammo from corpses and ammo boxes (+50-100%).
Chance of additional revolver ammo from armed peds even if they died holding rifle.
Less throwables from enemy corpses, except knives.
MONEY & VALUABLES
More money from robbing npcs, coaches and looting corpses (in average +50%).
Platinum items are more rare. In that time platinum jewelry was not popular yet.
Silver items are more frequent, especially for pocket watches.
CONSUMABLES
Opened consumables are more frequent; unopened - more rare. Potent meds are much more rare. Horse reviver is much more rare.
QUEST REWARDS
Taxidermist quest: lowered rewards because 50$ for rabbit+squirrel is too much; 15$ is just enough. Of course, for harder tasks rewards are bigger.
I changed this rewards along the way because they placed in the file responsible for loot money.
INSTALLATION

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 592 endorsements and nearly 22k downloads—clearly a solid pick.
- Money from loot and robbery feels more rewarding, so you're not scraping by for cash.
- Ammo changes make looting more deliberate—no more accidental ammo grabs, but you still get plenty from bodies.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2022, so it might be outdated for the latest game patches—check compatibility.
- No auto-pickup for ammo could annoy players who prefer the convenience, even if it's more 'realistic'.
- Balance changes are broad, so they might conflict with other loot or economy mods you're running.
For players who want a more logical and balanced loot system—more cash, smarter ammo handling. If you're tired of unrealistic loot drops or want to tweak your economy, this is for you. Skip if you love the vanilla auto-pickup or prefer minimal changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod changes loot and ammo behavior, test it on a new save or after backing up your current one to avoid surprises.
- If you use other loot or economy mods, load this one last to ensure its changes take priority.
- Check the mod's page for any patch notes or compatibility notes before installing, especially if you're on a recent game version.
