Description:
This is a simple mod, what replaces vanilla chests with more detailed ones. Adds several models and sounds of chests for variety. Content and location of chests not changes. All models and textures are made by me.
=============================================
Compatibility:
At the moment, not a single serious conflict of the mod with others has been noticed.
The mod is finally compatible with Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul! Just pick up an optional file instead of main one and stick to the installation instructions given on this page.
Mod now also compatible with xOBSE version of Harvest Containers! All you need is to install THIS file after you have installed Harvest Containers xOBSE.
If you are using OLD Harvest Containers, you can download the OOO compatible version of Improved Chests, unzip all files except Improved Chests (OOO Compatible).esp from the "Improved Chests (OOO Compatible)" folder to Data folder of your game with overwriting files. This will make Harvest Containers mod using new models instead vanila, but there will be no additional models, what shown on the pictures..
=============================================

You can easily install the mod using any modmanager, OBMM, WB, MO2, Vortex etc..
