Have you ever been disappointed that there's only a handful of Mimics in the game? This mod fixes that by turning every chest into a potential mimic, adding a layer of paranoia to your playthroughs.
Requires Norbyte's Script Extender
Requires Mod Configuration Menu
It is recommended to use BG3 Mod Manager to install this Mod and Prerequisite Mods
Mimics, Mimics Everywhere
Mimics can be any inconspicuous chest. If you interact with them in any way they will transform and turn hostile. Any nearby mimics will also reveal themselves and join the fight.
The further you progress into your playthrough the more powerful mimics become, so beware!
New Mimic Ability
Mimics have a new ability that can swallow one equipment slot. If you lose all worn equipment (minus necklace & rings), something terrible will happen to the exposed adventurer.
Counter Measure
Equipping the Hag's mask will reveal any disguised mimics without making them hostile. This allows you to get the jump on them first.
Configuration
THIS MOD IS CONFIGURABLE VIA MOD CONFIGURATION MENU
There are three properties you can change:
EncounterPercentage
The likelihood of a chest turning into a mimic. Accepts values from 0-100. 100 being every chest turns into a mimic, whereas 0 spawns none.
Seed
Used to determine which chest turns into a mimic. Consistent across all playthroughs. Accepts any text inputted.
HarderMimics
Give Mimics the ability to steal your equipment. Turning this off will restore default behaviour. Set to 0 to disable it.
Uninstallation
This mod should be completely uninstallable without breaking your save. But if you want to be extra sure, it is recommended to use Mod Uninstaller

Notes
- Story related chests (i.e. chests with unique gear or quest related items) generally will not turn into mimics, this is to prevent potential soft-locks.
- Mimics can uses items such as spell scrolls or potions if it's in their inventory.
- There is currently no perception check to know whether a chest is a disguised mimic or not. Perhaps a future update there will be.
- Mimics will get harder the further you progress the story.
- If a mimic fails to spawn, the original chest just breaks open spilling its contents to the floor (will need a better solution for this)
- This mod cannot be added to Mod.io (due to requiring ScriptExtender)
