About this mod
An intense firefight, several opponents have exploded into caps. Money! Yay! Now that you're done, night's coming on and you've got to find the piles of caps spread all over...in the coming darkness...
...yeah screw that. Put those caps in my pocket, since you're that immersive and all. Same for them there Bottlecap Mines.

~~~ In A Nutshell ~~~
As it says - trying to hunt for those caps after a firefight is just dumb. Yet they'll probably sit in your savefile forever, just a-waitin' for you to find them.
Screw that. Put the caps straight in your pocket - since the whole Fortune Finder 4 explosion of caps perk is absolutely 110% immersive and all. Same for the Bottlecap Mines.
~~~ Versions ~~~
Four versions are supplied.
Basic:
Puts the generated caps straight into your pocket. 'Nuff said. (Now plays the sound file.)
Basic - Bottlecap Mine:
As the Basic, also adds the caps from Bottlecap Mines to your pocket.
Enhanced:
Your character is Level 40+. You've just put a 4th perk point into Fortune Finder. Yeah, you find even more caps in containers - and every time it proc's you find yourself scrabbling around the battlefield in search of 15-23 caps. (That's what the vanilla game and the basic version gives you.)
Screw that. Make it worth investing 40+ levels and 4 perk points.
Make it rain, baby.
(10x normal, or 150-230 caps (15-23 x10), straight into your pocket, now plays the sound file.)
Enhanced - Bottlecap Mine:
As the Enhanced, also adds the caps from Bottlecap Mines to your pocket.
Make it rain, baby.

~~~ F.A.Q. ~~~
Q: Your mod broke my game!
A: Make it rain.
Q: No, your mod *really* broke my game!
A: Uninstall this mod and revert to an earlier save.
Q: How you do dis?
A: It's a tweaked and recompiled FortuneFinderCapsScript with an empty esl-tagged esp file. That's so it will pick up the archived files - no loose files cluttering up your folders - without wasting a precious mod slot. (Any compiled loose file will override this mod, though the chances are nearly zerch that anyone is gonna be messing with this perk anyway.) Instead of throwing the caps on the ground - off in the distance yet, not even at your feet - the script will add them to your pocket. Pathetically small source code included.
The Bottlecap Mine version also has a script that I placed on the dropped caps. That script will add the caps to the player's pocket, play the SWF file, and remove the placed caps from the world.
Q: Hang on - only 15-23 caps for the vanilla version?
A: Yeah. Bloody near worthless waste of a perk point, yah? Don't scrabble around in the muck for a fistful of caps. Feel free to change and recompile it to give 1000x or 10000x the normal amount of caps. *Really* make it rain.
Q: Why are you only showing screenshots for the "make it rain" version that gives 150-230 caps when it proc's?
A: Because the 15-23 caps version is so wonderfully stimulating (sarcasm) that nobody would find it believable that some idiot Bethesda coder spent God-alone knows how many hours with kludging together linked lists, explosions of caps, and spells to give players across the world the quality experience of wasting 40+ levels and 4 perk points to scrabble through the darkness after 15-23 caps. Repeatedly. Make it rain.
Q: Fortune Finder Four Fix...? Is that an alliterative/swearing joke?
A: Yes. Exactly like wasting fifteen minutes of your precious real-life personal time wandering through the darkness of this game, going "f*k f*k f*k f*k" as you look for 15-23 caps. Over and over. Make it rain.
