My take on the looting leveled list with a light way to increase diversity, fun and logical distribution of miscellaneous items.
Loot boxes for free!!

From version 3.0 changes were made with a strong influence from Loot Logic and Reduction by moonracer.
Big thanks to the author and the great mod!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was created with the inspiration and help of multiple mods out there that give so much and offer different approaches to enjoy Fallout.
Mods like
Unbogus Overhaul, Lunar Fallout Overhaul, Damn Apocalypse, Tweaked Leveled Lists or Capped Out - A loot and levelled list rebalance.
They are not compatible of course but you may prefer their features.


Big kudos for their authors and collaborators! This mod couldn't exist without their insight!


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What this mod does NOT do (and a few suggestions to complement):

  • Vendors leveled list - I strongly suggest Complex Vendors for distribution of goods from traders.


What it actually does change:

  • Overhaul slightly reduction and logical distribution of miscellaneous items:
- Expect less aid and chems. The same for caps and bobby pins. However you may find them more often in specific containers.
- Integration of some DLCs items that may make sense (nothing extreme as I prefer to keep the uniqueness of those areas).
- Renamed some containers in the world for better recognition.
- The only change made to ammo is that their pools have been slightly reduce.
- Only tweak in vendors leveled list is that you can buy a bigger variety of Shipments depending on the actual vendor.

  • Rebalanced death drops of creatures:
- Most creatures (apart from big reasonable ones) will not drop caps or other junk items.
- Animals may not drop meat, hides or other specific race ingredients (imagine they got destroyed by the time of killing).
- Behemoths have their own death drop list (vanilla was using the Deathclaws instead).
- Robots and the like have more variety but less powerful items drops.
- Ghouls don't drop much ammo or caps. They still can have some kind of junk.
- Bloodbugs have a chance to drop all kind of sacs as well.
- Deathclaws and Mirelurk Queen have chance to drop their corresponding eggs.
- Mirelurk Hatchling will have a small chance to drop only Softshell Meat.
- More creatures can drop extra meat if you have its magazine perk (few were missing that feature).
- Possibility to get blood samples from way more creatures.
- Multiple other fixes and tweaks!

  • Faction and other Npcs belongings list:
- Overhaul humans carry less food or other goods with them. Some can carry all sorts of flora or meat instead.
- Raiders, Triggerman, Gunners, Children Of Atom and BoS Soldiers have distinct items list to give them a more human feel. Higher or lower type of items depending on the faction they belong. Drugs, aid or other ingestible have mostly a low chance to spawn.
- Most groups have somehow been tweaked to drop more variety in loot.

  • Container changes focusing in variety and balance:
- Vault Lockers and Dressers - You can find more Vault apparel and a few fitting items.
- Dressers - A bigger variety of clothes and a more limited junk possibility.
- Garage Cabinet - Rare chance to find auto parts and scrapped components.
- Cash Registers - Smaller chance for money or bottlecaps.
- Cigarette Machine - Cigars added to the mist but any related item have a rare chance.
- Coolers - Substitute basic with packaged food instead.
- Duffle Bags - Cash bags have rare chance for valuable objects like ingots and regular/raider bags have more explosives.
- Gore Bags - Only raw meats, bones and animal components can be found here.
- Mailboxes - Chance to find newspapers, magazines or a rare chance for Shipments!
- Med Kits - Multiple adjustments in terms of rarity. Medical utensils added also to the pool lists.
- Mirrors - Added logical scrap items involving bathroom products and a more limited list for chems or aid.
- Safes - People would secure important documents and valuables. Prewar safes have a bigger variety of professional handguns.
- Suitcases - More variety for the possible apparel and traveling junk elements can also be found.
- Toolboxes - Bigger range of tools and complementary components.
- Tool Cases - Adjustments depending if is a prewar or guns/raider case. Similar to toolboxes but can contain small weapons.
- Trash Bins\Cans - Have a more logical junk list of what we would consider trash. Still worth to dumpster dive anyway!
- Wood Crates - Less chems but possibility for food and more explosives.
- Milk Vending Machines - Not just empty milk bottles but also broken glass and what seem to be the original drink product...
- News Stand - All sorts of newspapers, magazines and books.
- Refrigerators - Empty bottles added and all sorts of moldy and fungus. Rare chance to find edible products.
- Blood Storage Refrigerator - Empty bags added to the pools plus a small chance for Irradiated Blood.
- Bureau - This fancy cabinet will have all sorts of dinnerware.
- Changing Table - Multiple toys and a few baby care components.
- Dryer/Washer - Clean or dirty clothes and any other washing element.
- Ice Cooler Machine - Very rare chance to get any kind of drink. Glass and plastic can be found instead.
- Metal Boxes - Uses all types of miscellaneous items. The place to find anything.
- Footlockers - Covers all kind of military and patriotic equipment.
- Bobby Pin Box - The usual pins and sometimes a memory of the fallen.
- Caps Stash - Get way more bottle caps without depending on your level and rarely other valuables or gnomes!!
- Lunchbox - Much more random and useful clutter coming from the now worthwhile to look for boxes. Beware of explosions of cash!
- Ammo Boxes - Tweaked them a bit for more scarcity. In vanilla there was always something there. Now that's changed!

...and a few other adjustments to enjoy the wasteland!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compatibility:
- Incompatible with mods that edit the same containers and/or leveled list. They may require patches or load order adjustments.

- More Human - Raider Gunner Triggermen BOS Soldier - Loot or NPC Loot Drop Rebalance - I tweak the same records. If you prefer any of the like just make sure to place them after ELotC.
- Hunter of the Commonwealth or Immersive Hunting Overhaul - If you intend to use one of these mods just make sure to place them after ELotC.
- Trove - Immersive Caps Stashes, Better Caps Stashes Redux or Worthwhile Caps Stashes - I made my own take on this container but if you prefer what these mods offer again just place them after ELotC.
- Unbogus Lunchboxes - I based my tweaks on this mod however with some differences. Just like the above, if you prefer this mod just place them after ELotC.
- Legendary Items in Safes - Make sure to load this mod after ELofC.
