📋 About This Mod

FALLOUT 3 VERSION

The skull cap popping off and revealing the Behemoth's brain looks really cartoony and dumb, so I made it dismember the whole head instead.

The whole head will now explode instead of just the tiny brain cap.

There is also an optional file to change the body part data of the Behemoth so it can be decapitated and the head will actually roll around instead of explode, but it's a bit buggy so I'm not including it in the main file.

For some reason, if using the optional esp and dismembering the head, there's some weird vertex stretching around the face and I'm not sure why. That's why it's only in the optional files and by default the head will only explode.

COMPATIBILITY

Incompatible with other stuff that modifies the Super Mutant Behemoth meshes.

INSTALL/UNINSTALL

To do it manually, add smbehemoth.nif, smbehemothlight.nif, smbehemothmedium.nif and smbehemothheavy.nif to your Data\meshes\creatures\smbehemoth folder (create the folder if it's not already there). Remove the files to uninstall.

Alternatively, you can use a mod manager.

REQUIREMENTS

Just the base game (Doesn't technically require TTW but there aren't any Behemoths in the base game so...)

MY OTHER MODS

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A small cosmetic mod for Tale of Two Wastelands that changes Super Mutant Behemoth death animations so their heads sever instead of just the brain cap. Simple, focused tweak with 64 endorsements and 9,100 downloads, last updated in April 2023.

✨ Key Features

Alters Super Mutant Behemoth head severing behavior in Tale of Two Wastelands.
Replaces the default brain cap removal with a full head sever animation.
Lightweight cosmetic change with no new assets or gameplay alterations.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny download and install—just drop it in and go.
  • Adds a satisfying gore detail for players who want more visceral kills.
  • Decent community traction for a niche cosmetic (64 endorsements, 9.1k downloads).

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Behemoths—if you wanted more creature variety, this won't help.
  • No screenshots or videos in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual result.
  • Last updated in 2023—might not be compatible with the latest TTW patches.
🎯 Is This For You?
For TTW players who want a bit more brutality in their wasteland and are tired of the same old brain-cap pop. If you're a modder looking for a simple reference on how to edit creature death behaviors, this is a clean example. Skip if you want broader gore overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
