📋 About This Mod

Vanilla+ Content: This mod is considered vanilla friendly, respecting the original vision of the game while implementing additional or altered content.

Did you know that Super Mutant Behemoths are artificially scaled up by 0. 5 per every placed record? This mod reverts that for most Behemoths, reducing their scale back to their slightly smaller yet still lumbering appearance. At some point in development, Bethesda must have decided that they wanted to Behemoths to appear with a larger stature, and instead of directly editing the model to have them correctly scaled, simply uniformly scaled up the whole model in-engine. This leads to some visual inconsistency on the mesh. Behemoths are adorned in human heads, shopping carts, car doors and hydrants - all things that become comically large when the entire model is uniformly scaled. Reverting the scale back to 1. 0 (the models true scale) these bits and pieces on the mesh return to a more conceivable size. The only Behemoth that has retained it's scale of 1. 5 is the one residing in Evergreen Mills. I figured that because this one had no additional meshes attached, it was not that egregious to have it be uniformly scaled (especially because in lore, Behemoths can theoretically grow indefinitely in some cases).

Should be compatible with all other mods that don't touch these world records. It should be noted that any mod adding additional Behemoths and scaling them up will not see the changes made in this mod. The Behemoths are scaled at a world-record level, not in the mesh files and not in the base records.

Simply drag and drop the contents of the mod into your games "Data" folder, and activate with the mod manager of your choice. Alternatively, install directly through Mod Organizer 2.
