📋 About This Mod
3LcDtbq8H2o
This mod adds in nearly 40 variations of Flood to replace Feral Ghouls. There are 25 Marine Combat form variations, 10 Elite Combat Form Variations, and the Carrier Form.
Infection Forms also replace Rad Roaches.
Does not add in sound effects, as there is already a mod that accomplishes that quite well (check Recommended Mods)
Gameplay:
The Flood will use the same stats as the vanilla feral ghouls, and will get more difficult as you level up.
Carrier and Infection forms are scripted to die when reaching a certain health threshold.
Carrier forms will explode on death, releasing additional Infection Forms.
Carrier forms have a 20% spawn rate.
Only affects Feral Ghouls, Normal Ghouls are not touched.
Also only affects Ferals in the Commonwealth.
Will need a new game or cell reset to work properly.
Compatibility:
- Should be compatible with anything that simply references vanilla feral ghouls.
-Will have issues with any mods that directly edit the vanilla feral ghouls.
I don't know if the mod you're asking about will work with it. You'll probably have to try it and see.
If a mod has enough request for a compatibility patch, I can look into making one.
Recommended Mods:
-Misriah Armory for weapons
-Halo Ghoul sound The Flood for Audio
Known Issues:
-Infection Forms will not always explode on death
-Minor weighting issues
-Since these meshes are not exactly the same shape as what they're replacing, hit boxes can be wonky. Shoot center of mass at the Carrier forms, Infection forms shoot close to their base. Combat forms have less of an issue with this, but don't go for headshots that you can see. You will miss. Not something I can currently do anything about.

If I've forgotten to mention you, let me know and I'll add you in!
-Do they use weapons?
-No, I have considered doing that, but haven't decided on whether or not I want to.
-Will this be on xbox?
I don't port any of my things to xbox, and have nothing to do with ports that do exist.
-How do I install?
Use your mod manager, or if you manually install mods you won't be asking this question.
-Does this work with x?
This should be fully compatible with most other mods, I don't mess with any
