How can I loot nearby corpses and containers from one list?

Short answer

Proximity Inventory puts nearby corpses and containers into one list so you can take items without opening each inventory. It does not add carry weight or backpack slots. The separate FIXED Proximity Inventory listing tells you to use this original item instead.

A street full of bodies is the case it is for. You can limit it to corpses if you do not want every nearby container in the same list. Automatic pickup is a different mod and a different choice: this one still waits for you to take each item.

Choose the original listing

OptionWhat you getWhat you do not getWhat to trust
Proximity InventoryOne list of nearby corpses and containersExtra carry capacityThe Workshop page states B42.20+ and multiplayer. Comments on 42.21 disagree, and this page is not a playtest.
FIXED Proximity Inventory listingA pointer back to the originalA second, better versionSubscribe to the original. Do not treat this fix listing as the current item.

Turn on the highlight first and learn the toggle before you add another inventory mod. If two mods both rewrite the loot window, disable one and check the list again.

After the loot is in your bag

Seeing it in one list does not put it in the right crate at home. Sorting loot into containers is the next decision. Finding recipes from the materials you kept comes after that.

The Build 42 mod overview uses this same original listing. Add your build and whether you play alone or on a server if the list above is not specific enough.

Common questions

Does this increase backpack space?

No. It only changes how you see and take nearby items. Weight and inventory slots stay as they are.

Should I subscribe to the fix listing?

No. That Workshop page sends you back to the original Proximity Inventory. Use the original item.

Will it work on my multiplayer server?

The author states multiplayer support for B42.20+. People have disagreed about 42.21 in the comments. Try it on a test save before you put it on a server you care about.

Is automatic looting the same thing?

No. A mod that picks items up for you is a different task. Proximity Inventory shows the items and leaves the taking to you.
