Loot Overhauls
Fallout 4 has a "hidden" mechanic where, depending on the difficulty of the lock, the container will have better or worse items inside. This reduces the chances of getting poor loot out of a Master locked chest. Since it is a simple mechanic, I was able to backport it to Skyrim, SSE

Pumping Iron - Dynamic Muscle Growth
I started a character for my latest ' Let's Play Skyrim' video series and deliberately made him very skinny as his back story was that of a scholar, not a warrior. I felt it would be an interesting experience to play someone truly unsuited to an adventurers life when he first picked up a sword. However, a number of people suggested that as he progressed through the trials an troubles that Skyrim threw at him, his muscles should grow over time due to the constant physical training he was receiving.
