📋 About This Mod
The official port of Hidden Treasures from original Skyrim to SSE with permission from the original author. Many thanks to Ironman5000 for letting me port this over. It is much appreciated. All credits go to Ironman5000 for the original mod, design and implementation. The Oldrim mod can be found here:

The .esp has been run through the CK and saved in form 44. I have also included a file with Alternate textures in case the chests are too bright for players. Another surprise I found when no one ported this over. Ironman5000 is an awesome modder and I felt that this is a fun mod for everyone. Its always nice to find surprise treasure. This mod is a direct port from Oldrim and is offered as is. The only things that might interfere would be something else occupying the same space but it shouldn't cause crashes at all. The mod's ITM records have been cleaned and all changes have been forwarded to the latest version of the USSEP by Arthmoor. Thanks to dAb for fixing these.
If you like this mod and would like a great Treasure Chest partner mod for this, I have ported over Underwater Treasures by Jokerine. With this mod and that, it will add a total of 251 treasure chests to the world. No shortage of loot for treasure hunters! You can find that one here:

So without further ado, here is the description by Ironman5000 from the Oldrim page:

Description
Adds many secret treasure chests around the game for you to find and loot.
They have been well hidden so you will need to actually seek them out to discover them, or if you are already a thorough looter you should stumble across some of them.
I will not be giving you any hints as to where they are because that would be cheating...ok well maybe one, see the screenshot :)
The chests have their own unique appearance with my own edited texture to make them look worthy of holding valuable treasure and so you know exactly what to keep your eyes open for (gold and marble, see the screenshot)
The treasure is all leveled including gold (in testing I was finding 250 - 900 at lv. 30), gems, jewelry, soulgems, and other valuable that fit in small containers. There are no weapons or Armour as they would be too big.
I highly doubt you will fin
