CORPSE CLEANER: Ever Wonder why we leave so many dead things laying around? Tired of all those dead bodies that just won't go away after you kill them? Don't want to accidentally scrap a living person (like the current corpse cleaners allow)? Well this is my working solution for this very problem. I thought it would be nice to be able to clear the dead bodies out of the settlements, and this originally started as just a settlement cleaner, but after numerous efforts trying to use the workshop to get it going, during a conversation with Poppay55 a idea popped into my head, and I gave it a go, and what do you know, it sorta worked, so after a complete rewrite of my original idea, this evolved, making it so you can not only scrap corpses in settlements, but everywhere in the commonwealth, and not worry about scrapping the living.
NOTES: A "All In One" Version will be compiled and set as the main file once I'm sure there are no more major bugs in it / critters that can't be scrapped. The Individual versions will still be available for users to download as well once this is done. So please, if you find any problems, report them no matter how small you think it may be, Thanks!
In order for corpse cleaner to function properly without causing interference with the Cannibalism perk, In order to harvest a corpse you will need to be in the standing position, likewise, using the cannibalism perk you will need to be in a crouching position in order to feed off a corpse. This was a required modification to be made for this to function properly. Uninstalling the mod will return the cannibalism perk back to its normal state (feed on corpse while standing or crouched).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 945 endorsements and over 42k downloads, so it's proven to work.
- Solves a real problem: those stubborn corpses that never despawn, especially in settlements.
- DLC addons mean you're covered even if you own Far Harbor or Nuka-World.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or next-gen update.
- Requires a perk investment, so you'll need to spend a perk point to use it.
- No detailed instructions or compatibility notes provided, so you might need to experiment with load order.
For Fallout 4 settlement builders who are tired of dead bodies cluttering their builds and refuse to use mods that accidentally kill living NPCs. Also for players who want a simple, perk-based solution without needing complex scripts. Skip if you're on a newer game version and worried about compatibility, or if you prefer a mod that auto-cleans without perk investment.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to download the DLC addons if you own any DLC, otherwise the mod won't affect those areas.
- Since it's a perk mod, you'll need to level up and choose the perk in your perk menu—check your perks after installing.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install the main file first, then the addons, and let the manager handle load order.
