📋 About This Mod
Stingwing Barb shares the bloatfly gland mesh, so I hackjobbed a Stingwing's model for a replacement.
Yeah, that's it. Really.
Uhhh... There are both misc and junk item versions if you want??
+ Now includes Radscorpion stinger too
Actual stingers is a small immersion mod for Fallout 4 that replaces the Stingwing barb and Radscorpion stinger meshes with their actual parts instead of the bloatfly gland. It has 41 endorsements and 6,733 downloads, last updated in January 2026.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a visual bug that bothered immersion-focused players (41 endorsements).
- Tiny file size, no performance impact.
- Simple mesh swap, easy to install and remove.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects two items, so it's a very niche fix.
- May conflict with other mods that alter Stingwing or Radscorpion meshes.
- Not updated recently (last update January 2026), but it's a simple mesh swap so likely still works.
For Fallout 4 players who care about immersion and notice when item models don't match their real-world counterparts. If you're a modder or a lore enthusiast, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about mesh accuracy or if you use overhaul mods that already fix these meshes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- If you have other mods that change Stingwing or Radscorpion meshes, load this mod after them to ensure it takes effect.
- This mod does not require a new game; it works on existing saves.
