How can I tell if MMM is working?

[snarfy]

I have MMM installed as described, but can't tell if it's working or not.

I am a new player and the monsters seem the same to me so far, but I am very low level.

 

Is there a command or something I can check in game to verify that the MMM mod is working as expected?

 

Thanks

If MMM is installed and activated, and the game doesn't crash, then it's working -- go explore and find those extras, because you won't find them straight out of the sewers.

Ok thanks, I'll keep looking!

 

The reason I asked was that the "Looting NPCs" optional mod is not working. When NPCs kill something, they leave all of the items on the corpse.

 

As such, I am finding that I'm loading up on good loot by just looting the corpses that guards, etc kill. I'd prefer for immersion sake if the NPCs looted the corpses. I'm even loading the "Looting NPCs" last thing in my load order and it's still not working.

I've found that NPCs never loot other dead NPCs in the way that a human would, in any mod, even partner mods. Usually, they just go for silly things, like iron arrows, and leave the mithril cuirass on the body. Annoying, but there you go. Having said that, I've never used that option in MMM, but I can't see it being much different, unless MMM uses some kind of complicated looting script, which I doubt.
