How do I disarm trapped chests (Maskar and OOO)

[MermKing]

Im running both maskar and ooo so I can't tell who is the culprit here but everytime I interact with a trapped chest it immediately starts showering me with nasty spells. How do I disable them?

IIRC its security skill based, if it is high enough you will not activate the traps.

With OOO v1.5.4 or newer you can disable it in the ini.
MOO might be the same have not looked. With MOO it is skilled based or you can have it lock bashing, just smash the chest open with a sword or axe.

moo will disable its traps and OOO will overwrite. If you have ooo updated version, which i hope you do. Oblivion\Data\ini\Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.ini

Change

;***CONTAINER TRAPS:***
;You can turn container traps on and off here, and set them to have some randomization if they are enabled.
; - Would you like containers to be trapped? If so, set bTrapped to 1.
; - If you do want traps, would you like to add a random chance for each container that would normally be trapped to not be trapped. If so, set
; bTrapped to 2.

Set OOOOptions.bTrapped to 0 ;0 disables traps, 1 enables traps, 2 enables randomization of traps


Also, another thing that annoys me with OOO is sometimes some chests cant be picked at all without high level security. U can disable that in game by typing this into console

set lapminlock to 0

Ok I think I will be disabling traps altogether as they seem to be bugged. My security is maxed with a fortify skill now and if I choose yes disable trap I get a trap poison, but the chest remains locked. I can do this forever it seems and still the chest never unlocks, it just keeps on giving me poisons.

Any ideas of why this is happening before I disable this mess altogether?

does opening Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul.ini in the data folder and setting

set MOO.ini_traps to 0

and

set MOO.ini_trap_poison to 0

fix it?

If not, i probably need to see your load order to help any further. Did you download OOO updated version? https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/46199 or are you using the original ooo. For all i know you could have multiple mods that do the same thing causing issue
