Cleaning up The Town

[knowsfords]

There have been a lot of mods that remove litter from surfaces, but how about a mod that that makes the mop, mop buckets and abraxo cleaner that are everywhere useful... in that you add water to the mop bucket with abraxo cleaner, dip your mop, scrub at a spot and hey presto those pesky stuck newspapers are lifted permanently for that area for that save file with a nice little XP bonus for doing so.

and yes, the mod needs to be called Cleaning up The Town because its not only a wild west movie reference but a reference to this scene from Back To The Future which is set in 1955,

I have no idea how I could possibly even start making this mod myself so I am posting it here in the hopes that someone else with the skills might take pity on me.

I really don't know if this is practical at all, but I'm floating a theory. What you'd have is a formlist of all applicable trash IDs. Next an object script effect. The script would be disable if it's on the formlist. Something like trashformlist.disable and pop a 1 on there if you want it to fade out or just instantly disappear. The object effect would be by touch on the "weapon" so should only "erase" the things you actually contact.

Not sure how you'd line up the animation, but you could have it via a forced and scripted special idle.

I'm not sure, but maybe there's a theoretical chance something like this could work.

ah, I'm glad its technically possible.

I thought it might have been a little too complex for the engine or for a modder to be able to do.

I hope someone is able to make it :)
