📋 About This Mod
This patch was made for the Legacy version of Mutant Menagerie - Big Game Hunting, but also works with the more recent Mutant Menagerie - Life Finds a Way.
I love Mutant Menagerie - Big Game Hunting. However, I think a giant Hermit Crab right at the entrance of Vault 111, and a killer snake at Sanctuary Bridge, are a bit too much to handle for a Sole Survivor fresh out of the vault. This patch disables (removes) those two creatures. That's it, nothing else.
The same goes for Mutant Menagerie - Life Finds a Way; it's just less urgent since the Hermit Crab in this version is smaller and doesn't pose the same threat.
ESL-marked ESP. Does not count towards your mod limit.
A small patch for Fallout 4 that removes the Hermit Crab at Vault 111 and the Raddler Snake at Sanctuary Bridge added by Mutant Menagerie. For players who find these creatures immersion-breaking or annoying. Simple and effective, with 123 endorsements.
