📋 About This Mod

A Crime Against Nature

Converts cannibalism into a skill which must be mastered, and which can be taught to one's companions.


"With the Cannibal perk, when you're in Sneak mode, you gain the option to eat a corpse to regain Health. But every time you feed, you lose Karma, and if the act is witnessed, it is considered a crime against nature."

V2. 2:

  • []Fixed a V2. 1 issue that caused the player to permanently freeze whenever they would reject their meal.

    []Fixed issue where Human Remains would be acquired despite not possessing the appropriate perk.

    []Fixed a minor calculation anomaly when it comes to reverting gains to hunger satiation.

    []Added a safeguard against other mods interrupting the cannibal animation.

    []Added a new config variable: bNaturalCannibal.  Gives the player character the Cannibal perk for free.  Good for pure-cannibal playthroughs.  This flag is set by default in the revised Author's Config.

    V2. 1

    • []Lily (and other Super Mutants / Nightkin) can now be converted to cannibalism.

      []Vomit will no longer appear to travel in an upward trajectory.

      []Support was added for the features of Cannibal Reborn V2. 3 (the latest as of this writing). V2. 3 is not required.

      []Configuration file was expanded to support every variable in the MCM menu. These defaults will be read at the start of a new game, and can be forced into use at any time. (See config.)

    V2. 0

    • []Finally determined, and worked around, the bug with DismemberLimb that was causing occasional and very nasty instability.

      []Worked around changes made in the latest JIP LN NVSE (55. 65+) which interfered with this mod's functionality. (Generally companions walking to the wrong place.)

      []Fixed an old bug which prevented Doctor Li from speaking her introductory dialogue.
