About this mod

Enemies no longer drop weapons on death, they remain in inventory. This prevents dropped weapons from clipping through the ground.

SB Weapon Drop Fix

Requires: OBSE | Link (Optional)

What it does:


  • Oblivion has a cool feature where enemies drop weapons to the ground on death.
  • Unfortunately, this often results in weapons clipping through the ground, never to be seen again.
  • WDF sets the Game Setting iDeathDropWeaponChance to 0.
  • Now enemies no longer drop weapons on death, they remain in inventory to be looted by the player.

Improvements (i.e. vs Floating Weapons Fix):

SI DLC - Shadowrend:
  • In the Shivering Isles DLC quest " Symbols of Office"; the player fights a shadow-clone of themselves. This clone is carrying the weapon Shadowrend, and is expected to drop the weapon on death. 
  • However; this shadow-clone can not be looted, so when iDeathDropWeaponChance = 0, the weapon becomes un-obtainable.
  • SB Weapon Drop Fix includes a scripted workaround to re-enable and then once more disable iDeathDropWeaponChance before and after the fight respectively. 
  • This ensures the shadow-clone will drop Shadowrend.

Configs:
  • An ini config file is included to easily disable this fix for debugging purposes.
  • Link Support is also included so the fix can be toggled on and off in game at any time via the LINK menu.

Installation:
  • Extract the zip file into the data folder as it is.
  • File layout should be as below
DATA >
ini >
SB_WeaponDropFix.cfg
SB_WeaponDropFix.ini
SB_WeaponDropFix.esp


Attn. OOO Users:
  • The OOO patch that was previously included with this mod is no longer needed.
  • The issue it was aiming to fix, with quest "Shadows in a Struggle for Power", has since been fixed in the main OOO mod.
  • See OOO changelog:
"v1.5.12
* Made the Reaver of Ghuul Icxth lootable, in case his sword doesn't drop."


* I am not aware of any other NPC's negatively effected by this setting, but please let me know in the comments if any are found.
