Death Throes - Reactive Ragdolls

Characters will stiffen and try to right themselves, flop and fall hard when shot in the head, and generally move in ways that more accurately reflect their skeletal and muscular structure and the laws of physics. Works on all humanoid creatures, including mutants, ghouls, and ghost people. To make sure the mod works as intended, use it below compatibility skeleton, since it's supposed to affect human ragdolls and if you set NVCS below it, then this mod's ragdolls will simply not work, this mod does same things as NVCS.

As of November 12, 2024, I have uploaded what should hopefully be the final build, Dancing ragdolls build, which should override everything else.

The recommended order of install is:

Ragdolls mod

Compatibility Skeleton

Death Throes

Projectile Forces

Constraints

Dancing Ragdolls.

The update now covers:

Super Mutants

Abominations

Spore Carriers

Nightstalkers

Mirelurk Kings

Rats.

To achieve this result, I decided to take as reference Ragdolls from Half Life since they behave pretty realistically but they do not use any procedual animations, so I figured it'd be a good fit for new vegas, which has no death animations and a big variety of weapons to use.

I hope I achieved a good result.

Naturally, this mod is complementary to Madace's wonderful Ragdolls mod, it wouldn't work as it does without his.

This also means that his mod is a requirement, as I have configured it around it, and it has many extremely valuable additions like locational damage instead of kill impulse.

Other than that, this mod also includes adjusted skeletons for super mutants, ghouls, and ghost people, since they're all humanoids as well.

with 1. 5 release, this mod now covers creatures from TTW as well, and it comes with new optional features.

First one is experimental constraints, which changes physical properties for various armors listed.

It has a couple of limitations and quirks.

Firstly, the way it works is that is uses an unused feature leftover from FO3, but it has limit
