📋 About This Mod
Dynamically replaces boss chests with Mimics from Bakas "Traps NTR" mod. No longer will there be "I've never seen this chest before, its obviously fishy" moments. Mimics will catch you by surprise.
O.M.N.O.M.S adds randomly placed mimics that replace vanilla containers in Skyrim, with configurable chances and types via MCM. It integrates with EET for trap outcomes like losing loot, alerting enemies, or death, and offers scrolls to expel mimics. Designed for players seeking a survival horror twist on looting.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight integration with EET for extra evil traps, but works standalone if you don't want the full package
- Mimic placement is save-stable, so no re-rolls when you re-enter a cell—your traps stay put
- Configurable via MCM, so you can dial in the mimic chance to match your preferred level of paranoia
⚠️ Cons
- Only 51 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with a small but dedicated following
- Requires SkyPatcher for the scroll distribution feature, which adds an extra dependency if you want that part
- Potential compatibility risk with other mods that alter container behavior or add new containers, since mimics replace vanilla ones
For Skyrim players who want to add a layer of danger and surprise to looting, especially those who enjoy survival or horror elements. If you're tired of every chest being safe and want a real risk-reward dynamic, this is for you. Skip if you prefer a chill, loot-everything experience without the threat of being eaten.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the MCM to set the mimic chance low at first—you'll thank yourself when you're not getting eaten every other chest.
- If you install with a mod manager, make sure to enable the patched script option during installation for the full struggle mechanic.
- Test the mod in the WarehouseTraps cell (coc WarehouseTraps) to see how mimics work before you encounter them in the wild.
