📋 About This Mod

Restores missing swing animations and fly effects to Super Mutant meat bags for better immersion.

Overview

While exploring the Creation Kit, I noticed a lack of physics on many containers. Specifically, none of the Robot Part Bags had a platform helper attached, and the majority of the Super Mutant Meat Bags were missing them as well. This mod fixes the oversights for the Super Mutant Meat Bags to make the world feel more reactive.

Features:

  • []Animation: Adds the missing swing animation (FloatingPlatformHelperSwingOnly01 ) to various meat bags.[/]

    []Effects: Added the GnatSwarm01 effect to relevant containers. Expect to see (and hear) flies buzzing around the rotting flesh.[/]

    Installation

    • []New game required: No – This mod will work on existing saves.[/]

      []Plugin Type: ESP flagged ESM / ESL – Does not count toward the 255 plugin limit (ESL) and will treat non-persistent references as temporary, loading them only when the player is nearby (ESM).[/]

      []Method: Use a Mod Manager (Vortex/MO2) or install manually:

      []Mod goes into ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\[/]

      []Check ...\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\

      []Fallout4Prefs.ini

      bEnableFileSelection=1[/]

      []Fallout4Custom.ini

      bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

      sResourceDataDirsFinal=[/]

    [/]

    []Ensure any plugin files are listed in ...\AppData\Local\Fallout4\plugins.txt[/]

    []Load Order / Priority: Load the plugin Early [▲][/]
