What This Mod Does

Adds realistic brain injuries that can occur when an NPC dies from a head wound, along with optional gameplay improvements.

Please note that this mod is still in development and may not be perfect! If you have any suggestions or complaints, please contact me (contact details below).

Brain Injuries

Injuries are based on real neurological posturing responses that occur after fatal brain trauma:

Unconsciousness

A strong enough blow to the head can cause an NPC to lose consciousness temporarily. The NPC will collapse and remain incapacitated for a period of time before recovering.

• may be glittching sometimes (i don't know how to fix it yet)

Only triggered by blunt attacks.

Optional Improvements

• Reduced Torso Damage — Torso is slightly more durable
• Reduced Blunt Head Damage — Head is slightly more resistant to blunt force

Settings

All options are available in-game via BoneMenu. All settings are enabled by default.

My Other Mods

• NoDeathAnimations - Works good with Brain Injuries mod. (Even nessesary for effect)

Special thanks to people who helped with bug reports

• M1st – for identifying the: spawning limp NPCs issue.

Known issues

• Level loading time is longer than natural (probably due to clearing NPC's data to prevent memory conflicts)
• The head and hips of unconscious NPCs may sometimes be unnaturally loose (that is why unconscious is off by default but you can change it in Bonemenu)
• Sometimes spawning NPC can cause them to go limp (90% sure it's fixed)
• After resetting weights to default in Bonemenu, buttons will still be shown as old values (not my fault, i don't know if there is a way to fix it)
