📋 About This Mod
(Google Translate)
The mod adds stagger when the player is wounded depending on the weapon type, attacker, and health status.
Gunshot wounds and heavy blows:
-Great stagger
-They break an arm to simulate an injury to the torso
-If you have low health, it breaks a leg to simulate the inability to run
-They slow you down momentarily
-Slow down the perception of time for 1 second
-They affect your vision and hearing for a few moments
-Reduce your strength for a few minutes
Unarmed Melee and Small Animal Attacks:
-They cause a bit of stagger
-When you have low health it breaks an arm to simulate injuries
-When you have very little health, it breaks a leg to simulate an inability to run
Explanation: all gunshot wounds should have consequences for that reason an arm / leg is damaged to simulate the animation of being wounded and the difficulty of aiming / running (See Gallery)
New Power Armor:
If you have a PA Torso part equipped stagger is reduced and weak attacks don't cause stagger at all. Your arm won't break at the first shot and your Strenght Special won't be reduced
Please note:
if you have mods that modify the races of the game, you should merge the mods with FO4edit or the npcs will not react to being damaged.
The mod will not load into the npcs in an existing save until they are loaded again into the world
Another of my mods (recommended): More Realistic Damage
It makes weapon damage and locational damage more realistic
It works better with mods that increase the wapon damage

0:00 to 1:17 = Insects attacks to 2:16 = Third person combat
to 3:06= First person combat
to 4:21= Being shot
5:34 = dog attack and shooting dog
7:08 to the end = Combat
El mod agrega tambaleo cuando el jugador es herido dependiendo del tipo de arma, el atacante y el estado de salud.
Heridas de bala y golpes pesados:
-Gran tambaleo
-Rompen un brazo para simular una herida al torso*
-Si se tiene poca salud rompen una pierna para simular la incapacidad de correr
-Te relentizan momentaneamente
-Relentizan la percepcion del tiempo por 1 segundo
-Afectan a tu vision y oido durante unos instantes
-Reducen tu fuerza durante unos minutos
Cuerpo a cuerpo desarmado y ataques de animales pequeños:
-Provocan un poco de tambaleo
