📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
Simple script that allows bulk editing of weapon dismemberment properties, making them more logical and less messy.
The mod comes with a basic INI file covering FNV, DLC, and TTW weapons. By default, pistols will no longer cause dismemberment, while blades still will, and so on.
Don't hesitate to let me know if any edit seems off. You can also create your own tweaks by making your own custom INI files.
No direct edits are made to weapon records, all changes are handled entirely through script.

CUSTOM INI FILES
To create your own INI file:
-
[]Create a .txt file inside the data/config/zebumper/Dismemberment folder, then change its extension to .ini.[/]
[]You can name it whatever you like, but keep in mind that files earlier in alphabetical order take priority over those later on, in case two files edit the same weapon. So a file named aaa.ini will win conflicts against a file named bbb.ini.[/]
[]Add the section at the top of your INI file, just as it's done in the one provided with the mod.[/]
[]Then, under this section, enter line by line the weapon's editor ID as the key and the dismemberment setting as the value. Values are: 0 (allows limb explosion and dismemberment), 1 (dismemberment only), 2 (explosion only), or 3 (no dismemberment and no explosion). For example, WeapNV9mmPistol = 3 will prevent the 9mm pistol from exploding or dismembering any limb.[/]
[]Save your file.[/]

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (1,117 endorsements, 295k downloads) — this is a proven mod
- Esp-free means no plugin slot wasted and less load order hassle
- Universal approach covers all weapons, not just a few
⚠️ Cons
- May require manual ini editing or in-game MCM to tweak values, but not documented
For players who want to fine-tune dismemberment and explosion effects across all weapons without adding esp files. Skip if you prefer vanilla gore or want a mod with detailed documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's esp-free, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no plugin activation needed.
- Check the mod's comments section for user-shared settings and troubleshooting, as the description is sparse.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable archive invalidation if you see texture issues.
