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.
Installation:
Scripted Version:
- You need powerofthree's Papyrus Extender, Base Object Swapper, Keyword Item Distributor and Xploding Barrels. Let my mod overwrite the ESP.
- If you plan on using it with More Interactive Objects - Throwing things, download FormList Manipulator as well.

Versions:
Scripted Version:
- Barrels can only be triggered by using something fiery (fire spell, fire-enchanted weapon or ammo, other explosions).
- The object is completely removed after the explosion and doesn't leave behind an empty barrel (as sometimes happens in the normal version).
- Supports Grab and Throw and More Interactive Objects.
- Has no conditions for igniting, the barrel can explode from any interaction.
- Doesn't work well with Grab and Throw (could leave an infinite fire).
Compatibility (Scripted Only):
- Grab and Throw - Compatible.
- More Interactive Objects - Throwing things - Compatible (Recommended for torch and fire salts throwing).
- Any spell mod - Compatible.
If any of the fire spells doesn't work in your mod order, just put the spell name in XMPFireDamage_KID.ini under "Spells", following the template:
Keyword = XMPFireDamage | Spell | *YourSpellNameOrAbbreviation
Note: perhaps barrel characteristics and craft recipes may seem unrealistic. Feel free to share your perspective!
- I did a quick calculation of the possible weight of the barrel, but slightly lowered the number for convenience. Now the barrel is 30 kg.
- Damage from the fire is 5, from the explosion is 50.
- It can be crafted in two ways: 2 iron ingots, 6 firewoods, 10 troll fat OR 5 dwarven oil.
