📋 About This Mod
Ever wanted to use Live Dismemberment with Horizon, but the balance goes way out of whack or it just refuses to work? Not anymore! With this patch you'll be ripping off limbs with your bare teeth in no time! (Flesh ripping teeth not included)
This mod takes the dismemberment from LD, and leaves the balance of Horizon alone. Now you no longer have to choose one or the other!
This also makes it so almost every weapon can dismember again! (Horizon disables a lot of weapons ability to dismember) This probably makes Horizon slightly easier as a result.
(Limb dismemberment chance is about 80% on cripple (with some exceptions) The same chance as the mental esp live dismemberment provides, just without the easy OP head cripple chance)
LIVE DISMEMBERMENT ONLY WORKS WITH VANILLA BODIES OR CBBE REDUCED VERSION ONLY
How to install
Install Horizon First (duh) (Created by Zawinul)

Install Live Dismemberment (double duh) (Created by DeathclawAlpha)
Available here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16400/
(You can use any ESP, I based it off of the 'Mental' Esp though, just without the OP easy head cripple chance)
AGAIN, MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THE MOD AUTHOR'S INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
Then Install This mod
Either use NMM, or you can manually install by dragging the esp file into the Fallout 4 data folder
Make sure this mod is after both Horizon and Live Dismemberment on your load order
There are two files available for download, only download ONE of them
I recommend (Favour Live Dismemberment)
This one makes it so limb health follow the one in Live Dismemberment. (Makes limbs really easy to cripple, thus easier to Dismember)
The First one: (Favour Horizon)
This one makes it so limb health follow the one in Horizon. (Makes limbs harder to cripple, thus harder to Dismember)Credits:
