📋 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.[/]
