✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tames the flashy Nightkin reveal effect—good if you're tired of screen clutter during stealth.
- Tiny patch that does exactly one thing, no bloat.
- Recent update (Nov 2025) means it's likely still compatible with current Super Mutant Redux.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 13 endorsements—small user base, so less community testing.
- Requires Super Mutant Redux, so it's useless without that mod.
- Potential compatibility risk if Super Mutant Redux updates and changes the effect behavior.
For Fallout 4 players who use Super Mutant Redux and find the Nightkin's cloaking explosion too visually overwhelming. If you're fine with the original effect or don't use Super Mutant Redux, skip this.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean.
- Place this patch after Super Mutant Redux in your load order so it overwrites the effect correctly.
- If you're on PC, make sure you have the game's script extender (F4SE) if Super Mutant Redux requires it—check its mod page.
