Snazzy Snow Elf Chests - Base Object Swapper
Using Base Object Swapper, randomly distributes 3 different custom made Snow Elf Chests to all vanilla counterparts, as well as any other mod-added vanilla Snow Elf Chests
Pairs perfectly with my
Snazzy Ruins Chests and other chest/furniture BOS mods!
~ 3 custom Snow Elf Chests filled with actual items and treasures (at the NIF level) that would normally be lootable from them
~ Chest lid swings all the way open, revealing the items and treasuress inside prior to taking you to the loot menu
~ Using Base Object Swapper, randomly replaces vanilla or mod-added dlc01snowelfchest with one of these 3 new varieties
~ Uses any Snow elf chest texture replacer of your choice (Skyland, Arri's, etc.)
~ Configurable BOS SWAP.ini to help avoid clipping with the opening doors and contents inside
~ Esl-flagged plugin
Compatibility:

[]Must use the updated Base Object Swapper and all of its updated requirements
[
]May conflict with other mods that add dlc01snowelfchest models in a funky way (inside walls, scaled real small/large, etc). Clipping/size issues can be fixed by adding the offending references to the BOS SWAP.ini[]Patch for C. O. I. N. - Coins of Interesting Natures included in Optional Files

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 399 endorsements and over 314k downloads
- Lightweight and performance-friendly—just swaps models, no scripts
- Works with mod-added chests, so it plays nice with other overhauls
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Base Object Swapper, so you need to grab that dependency first
- Only changes chests—don't expect any other Snow Elf furniture to get the treatment
- Visual variety is subtle; if you're after drastic changes, this might not be enough
For Skyrim players who want to spice up the look of Snow Elf ruins without overhauling the whole game. Perfect for modders who already use Base Object Swapper and want consistent visual upgrades. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or major visual overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the chests won't appear.
- Load order matters—place this mod after any mods that add new Snow Elf chests to ensure they get the new models.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the install; it's easier to manage dependencies and updates.
