📋 About This Mod
This simple esl tweak adds the 'DisableTunneling' flag to all mole rats, radscorpions, and bloodworms. I've found it can be very annoying when they burrow into the ground and make you wait to kill them. Hopefully others find this tweak useful. Thanks for your time and consideration.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 417 endorsements and over 7k downloads.
- Removes a frustrating mechanic without changing other enemy AI.
- Tiny mod that's easy to install and uninstall.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only affects three enemy types, so it's a niche fix.
- Could conflict with other mods that alter enemy AI or spawn behavior.
For Fallout 4 players who are tired of enemies vanishing underground and popping up unexpectedly. If you want a more grounded combat experience without the burrowing gimmick, this is for you. Skip if you enjoy the tactical challenge of tunneling enemies or use mods that overhaul enemy AI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place this mod in your load order after any mods that change enemy behaviors to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable it and test in an area with mole rats to confirm it works.
- Since it's an older mod, check the comments section for any reported issues with current game versions.
