✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community adoption (1.3M downloads) — clearly fills a niche players want
- Adds realism to scavenging — no more finding valuable loot in trash containers
- Simple and lightweight — no script bloat or performance hit
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other loot mods
- Only affects barrels and sacks — other containers remain unchanged, so the effect is limited
For Skyrim players who want a more grounded, survival-style experience where trash containers actually hold trash. Great for immersion-focused playthroughs and mod lists that emphasize realism. Skip if you prefer finding valuable loot in every container or if you use other loot overhaul mods that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod through the manager to keep your load order clean.
- Place this mod after other loot-changing mods in your load order to ensure its changes take effect.
- Since it's a simple loot table edit, it should be compatible with most mods, but test with your current setup to be safe.
