Is there a mod to "tie" bodies and their inventories together?

[seppesusi]

When a character dies, its equipped items are dropped and they may roll hundreds of meters down a mountain or otherwise get lost. If I recall correctly this was considered as a contributing factor to the "save bloat" in Skyrim and was fixed in the unofficial patch. While I don't know if Oblivion has the same issue, I'd vastly prefer if all items were connected to the dead body and could be retrieved by looting the body (the "container").

Hey @seppesusi,

There are more mods that arrange that:

Bevilex's mod-list suggests:

Floating weapons Fix (Enemies keep weapons in inventory)

Myself I use the mod AoG (Overhaul plus Detect Item)

which also has this option included amongst other neat little tweaks:

Hope this helps!

While this answered my question, I'd prefer a mod which only adds the items the NPC's inventory and doesn't physically move them. I assume that the weapon disappears from the hand on death.
