About this mod

This mod adds a fair and balanced way to loot creatures found in the game while making sense and not being overpowering at the same time.

Permissions and credits
Okay, so imagine this scenario. You just fought off a dragon from destroying the town. It was a hard fought battle. Now, you want a reward don't you? So you go loot the dragon and what do you find? 1 measly dragon scale and 2 dragon bones. From a dragon....that is larger than a house. I say enough with that. Introducing Better Creature loot, an effort to make creature drops make sense. Why do you only get one sabrecat eye from a sabrecat? They aren't cyclopes. So I fixed that. Here are the changes I made to loot systems that I hope you all enjoy.

Dragons
They now give 5 dragon scales and 5 dragon bones. I figured 5 would be enough without tipping over the balance of the game. Yes the other loot is the same. You will just get more scales and bones from slaying these ferocious beasts.

Mudcrabs
Mudcrabs have two claws right? Am I counting this correctly? So why do they sometimes drop with only one claw? Fixed!

Deer
Ever saw that deer in the wild with just huge antlers and thoiught "hey, maybe I want to hang those antlers on my wall." Well now you can always do that. Large and small antlers now drop 100% of the time when you are out hunting.

Astronachs
Remember that quest that the blacksmith of Riften sends you on. To collect 10 fire salts? Boy was that a fun quest, seeing how astronachs are a pretty rare sight in Skyrim. Well, I made the quest a little easier. each astronach you kill will reward you with 5 salts of their respective type. I figured five was a good number without making it too easy. Now you just need to find 2 fire astronachs to complete this questline. 

Falmer
Falmer have 2 ears, yes? So why are we only collecting one ear from them then. Fixed!

Sabrecats
Sabrecats aren't cyclopes last I checked. Also, I am sure they have two teeth no? Fixed that.

Giants
Giants now drop ten toes when they die. makes sense right? They are humanoid after all, so why not let us collect all ten toes.

Horkers
You probably get the drill by now. Horkers have 3 tusks, so let us collect 3 tusks from them. 

UPDATE 2.0.0
-Ice Wraiths now drop 2 teeth upon death
-Bears give 4 bear claws
-you can now buy antlers, teeth, and other parts from hunters as well as Fur Armor pieces. These aren't always there but when you do find them they are in stacks of 10 and 15. Armor is an exception. Armor can be found in pieces, so you wont always find a full set of fur armor in the game.
And that is that. I'll be updating the list if anyone has any suggestions on what makes sense in Skyrim.
