Chest Variants - Base Object Swapper

Chest Variants uses Base Object Swapper (BOS) to add some variation to the various chests found in Skyrim.

Chest Variants swaps in either Vanilla or SMIM chests (depending on the main file selected) to have them appear along side the replacement chests of your choice.

Both the Vanilla and SMIM chests retain their default texture paths and are compatible with any texture replacer that makes use of these default paths. In my screenshots I am using Skyland Chests.

Plugins are flagged as ESL and does not count toward the plugin limit.
