📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
This mod adds a very subtle animation: a blink animation to all NV Super Mutants. This mod does not require a plugin to work. It replaces the meshes of the Super Mutants with my animated ones. So it is not compatible with mods that replaces the meshes of the supermutants. However, it is compatible with any texture replacer.
This animation was applied directly on the mesh or geometry. No nodes or bones were modified or added. All super mutants are affected, except Tabitha and Lilly. Super mutants added by other mods are also affected, unless they use new meshes.
INSTALLATION
Extract in your FONV data folder.
This animation will display even if the super mutant dies (unless you blow up his head). I havent found the way to stop it on death. I am still studying how to achieve it. In the meantime you can use this version.

- Subtle animation that adds life without being distracting
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2020—may not be tested with the latest game patches

For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a touch more realism in their wasteland encounters. If you're tired of Super Mutants staring blankly and want a subtle, immersive improvement, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for major animation overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod replaces meshes, make sure to install it after any other mods that alter Super Mutant meshes to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
- Test in a saved game near a Super Mutant to see the blink animation immediately—no need to start a new playthrough.
