📋 About This Mod
Makes oil barrels moveable, portable, craftable, and explosive.
This is an extension of Rollertoaster01's Xploding Barrels, with the added ability to pick up, craft, and blowing up by something fiery oil barrels.
I decided that Skyrim could use a similar to Baldur's Gate 3 mechanic with picking up combustible barrels for later use. Now you can just as well scatter a lot of barrels in one place and blow them up with a projectile spell, causing the NPCs caught in the blast to gasp in admiration at how much of a genius you are.
The source files are on my GitHub. The showcase is below.
