📋 About This Mod
Fallout 4 has a "hidden" mechanic where, depending on the difficulty of the lock, the container will have better or worse items inside.
This reduces the chances of getting poor loot out of a Master locked chest.
Since it is a simple mechanic, I was able to backport it to Skyrim, SSE and Classic.
With this mod, each container will have a loot table according to its lock difficulty.
This loot tables are based on the default content of each type of container, this is in order to maintain not only a vanilla feel, but also compatibility with mods altering leveled lists, e.g. Morrowloot, Scarcity, etc.
I couldn't find any mod doing the same, if there is one, let me know.
I also couldn't find any bug, again, if there is one, please let me know.
This mod backports Fallout 4's 'Lock related Loot' mechanic to Fallout 4, making container loot scale with lock type and difficulty. It's for players who want more realistic and rewarding lockpicking. With 6,058 endorsements and 516,344 downloads, it's a proven, popular overhaul.
