📋 About This Mod
Description
After some years of absence I finally returned to this mod to find it vastly more popular than when I last checked on it, and also some quite pressing issues, so I decided to fix them. It should no longer be necessary to use third party bug fixes with the latest version (However, big thanks to those contributors!)
I don't know about you, but I love a real adventure, and some fine loot to go with it! I really enjoyed the sense of adventure the treasure maps brought to Skyrim, and I decided to add some more of them.
Treasure Hunter for SSE is a small mod aiming to expand on the already great treasure map mechanic introduced by the game. I have tried to keep the maps and dungeons as lore friendly as possible. Even though I really suck at drawing, I still set out on this mission, and hey, they didn't turn out that bad if I do say so myself - for a hastily scribbled map at least.
What this mod currently adds:
- 7 brand new and unique treasure maps, scattered all across Skyrim
- 3 unique unmarked locations, handplaced into the world, each with their own story to tell
- 3 brand new and unique dungeons, with leveled enemies, and of course, LOOT!
- An entirely new progressive perk to go along with the treasure maps; the more maps you find, the more likely you are to find more gold in containers. Thanks to Bethesda.net user BlutoBlutarsky for the suggestion! (NOTE: This is not an actual perk, but rather an active effect added to the PC)
Map and chest locations are provided below for troubleshooting or if you simply wish to "cheat".
