English its not my native language, so be patient in the reading and forgive me for any mistakes. (Will have a lot)
This mod its a personal project created to speed up my looting. when you play using mods like Genesis, Obis, Warzones and Populated Skyrim hell edition you have a large number of bodies to loot. in the start i wanted to create a mod that covers chest and world items, but after some time i enjoyed the work division, my followers loot the bodies while i loot chests and shelves.
Even if i wanted to speed up the repetitive task, i wanted to keep the feeling of finding a good item in the middle of 100 iron swords, because of this and performance wise i avoided automatic systems like auto sort.
This mod its based and created to work together with the amazing mod Dead Npc Body Cleaner Remover making it a requirement, if you want a stable game with a normal size save file that mod its one of the best options.
How it works:
You will receive a spell and a power called [Loot Command] - Loot Near bodies to order your followers to loot the nearest bodies, your follower will loot and put all the items in the "New Loot" inventory, you can access this inventory using the spell [Loot command] - Open New Loot, after you close this inventory and reopen it, all items will be transferred to the "Old Loot" inventory and the "New Loot" will be empty, When you order your followers to loot again all new looted items will be placed in the empty "New Loot" inventory. After some days you can choose if you want to sell the "Old Loot" or simple discard all the items, all looted bodies will be cleaned and removed from the world. keep in mind that the number of looted bodies are proportional to the followers number, so more followers mean more bodies looted at same time.
Why Two separate Inventories?
Let's think you entered in a dungeon, fought all enemies and told your followers to loot the bodies, in the dungeon end you use the spell and open the inventory to see what your followers have looted, you take the useful thing and later go to another dungeon, in this new dungeon you do the same thing, fight, loot, and then use the spell to see the inventory, and now you have a inventory full of useless items mixed with the new items your followers have just looted, to fix this issue we use two inventories, after you take the useful items from one, all junk will be transferred to another. so every time you reopen the new loot it will only have the new things your followers have looted.
The first version of this mod only had one inventory and after some time playing i decided to implement this solution
Performance:
This mod has no impact in the game performance, the followers detection scripts runs only after a good amount of time and the body detection script only runs when you use the loot command spell, so it can be used in a script heavy environment with no issue, but will take a little of time to detect new recruited followers (nothing that impacts in the gameplay )

After the transfer this item will be recovered automatically
===================== ( Things to pay attention ) ===========
About Quest Items:
This mod is configured to NOT discard or sell quest items, but i recommend
you to pay attention to the items your followers loot, especially if you have quest mods, if you see something that have a
different name or looks like a quest item, take it to your inventory
About Bodies Cleaning:
I have developed this mod some time ago ( i think 6 or 9 months ) and i have been playing using it with no issues, the world cells have been reseted several times, i have no issue in quests or anything, and my save file its in a normal size, so nothing to worry about, the only issue i found its in the mod Vigilant SE, deactivate the body cleaning from the mod Dead Npc Body Cleaner Remover and not order your followers to loot the NPC Jo'vanni or it will break his quest.
===================== ( Installation\ uninstallation ) ===========
Use a mod manager like MO2 or unpack all the files from the Data directory inside this mod file to the Skyrim Data directory
To uninstall use the spell DVS - Team Immersive Loot Configuration and select uninstall, wait the confirmation message, save, quit the game and remove the mod.
===================== ( Compatibility ) ===========
Its compatible to any standard or custom follower that is marked as a player teammate, i don't have found incompatibility to anything else.
Maybe its incompatible with mods that makes followers loot but i don't have tested.
===================== ( Know bugs and issues ) ===========
Follower not go to body, not finding a path to the body, staying in the burning body.
I don't have access, or i don't know how to use the Skyrim path finding system, so the follower walking to body it's an immersive but at same time fake system, i cannot tell to a follower to avoid this place, walk from here to that place, and so on. So you will see followers not reaching the body, followers staying in the fire, followers walking to walls, if in the future i learn how to use the skyrim pathfinding system i will try to fix this issues.
Followers looting and putting fire in invisible bodies
In skyrim even after you clean a body it will continue in the world, so if you see fire in a place that don't have body its because another mod have cleaned this body before the loot.
This mod is slow to detect new recruited Followers
The idea it's to use only the necessary resources, so this mod only tries to detect new recruited followers every 60 seconds, leaving cpu resources to more useful things like combat mods.
===================== ( My other mod ) ===========
DVS - Followers City Home Outfit manager: Give to your followers exclusive inventory to use inside city and your home,
so you can dynamically edit what they are wearing, works with dismissed followers inside your houses.
DVS - Player Essential and Team Death
