The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition (2009)

Is there any mod that can help to locate dead corpses/body?
Is there any mod that can help to locate dead corpses/body?

I use MOO and from that mod enemies often spawn in groups which can make it difficult back tracking where those are bodies after they been killed.

Especially as a summoner where my 2-3 summon can kill enemies at different location while my PC try to stay alive with my bow which also means that it can be hard to see in grass or any other obstacle where body might have landed during kill (physics in this game can throw a body or even make it move/roll down hill side etc)

There is spell which will show alive NPCs, but when those become dead it is almost impossible to see their dead bodies if you don't know approximately know where they might have been killed.

Already use "corpse" to search on Nexus and didn't find anything relevant to what I am searching.

Use a light spell or torch then it will light up the area
The flying spell from the Midas mod would help find corpses in the wilderness. A birdseye view of Tamriel gives the game a whole new perspective.

Try Supreme Magicka, it lets you detect items with Night Eye which also includes bodies.

In the video options you can turn grass view distance to zero which would reveal bodies buried in the grass.

I don't get your preblem. It's not like you will miss anything significant if you don't loot some corpses.

Thats a good idea too actually as the grass quality is not that good anyway, be easier to find dropped enemy gear too

Better option to use Console command <TG> to turn off on grass in game then to set it permanent through ini files.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction! It was something like your suggesting that I am looking for as i already knew about toggle grass on and off from when game came out in 2006.

Downloaded that mod, have to see how it will work with my other mods that touches spells and if it will do what I need.

Thanks for explaining to Drunkenstein why looting corpses are important in a RPG like Oblivion, Nite!

With Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul there is also different faction that are fighting each other and loot that from MOO that will not be found in chests or vendors. One can join Skyrim Faction or any other faction (that doesn't exist in vanilla Oblivion as those aren't in open war with each other or even with Imperial Guards like faction's from MOO).

Those NPCs do also spawn in groups so that is why I need a way to track down my kills or my summons kills as it close to impossible to both keep an eye where my Imp or my Fire Elemental have done enough damage to kill anything as those also have ranged skills like Lightning spells or fire spells.

Part of Oblivion's game play are after all to manage resources like Gold (loot armour, weapon or anything that a vendor will accept to purchase from PC), get potions or special items like capes (tied to factions) or quest items.

Now when I finally reached to Leyawiin and could buy that spell (Minor Vita).

I can confirm this spell is working to show a pink/purple fog around living targets and also when those have become a dead corpse to loot, that this mod is what I was looking for. :-)

It is better then to have to turn off grass every time one want to find out where my summon or my PC have killed something.

Than you again for helping me find this mod!
