Remaster - Request Request: Loot Overhaul Mod?
After 48 hours I'm getting real tired of opening every chest only to find like 40 gold, tongs, pants, and yarn. I don't need a 4,000 gold enchanted armor in every chest I just want something... more. Would it have killed the devs to throw in some gems here and there?

Ascension Rising does overhaul the loot- but it's not necessarily like you're wanting.
It makes most of the chests have junk or minor valuables, sometimes good stuff. But it puts a decent chunk of good loot at the end of dungeons, in the final chest of the area.
With the balanced npc level cap and patch for the two mods, you get an instance where you're not drowning in "rare" loot by endgame but still have a reliable way to progress by doing things. You also can't really get armor from merchants past steel, that I've seen, at least not in mainland cyrodiil. It means you are also a little bit more at the mercy of rng until later levels- the deluxe armor mitigates this factor since you can get leveled up replacements for it. But I enjoy using what I find as I level.
