📋 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
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
📊 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.
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.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Tale of Two Wastelands installed and running before adding this mod.
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of your load order and avoid conflicts.
- If you don't see the effect, check that the mod is loaded after any other creature overhaul mods.
