Spice up combat by adding a simple bleeding mechanic and bandages.

(3D models patch available in the optional files)

• []Works with all game versions.[/]

  []Can be installed at any time; no need to start a new game.[/]

  []Lightweight and compatible with all your favorite mods: uses only vanilla commands, and doesn’t modify any Oblivion elements.[/]

  []Smooth start: The mod starts when you reach the outside world for the first time.[/]

  OVERVIEW

  This mod introduces a chance to suffer an injury (bleeding) during combat. You’ll need to use a bandage to tend your wounds and stop the hemorrhage.

  Bandages are sold by innkeepers.

  You can craft bandages using cloth (whether folded or not) with the Sewing Kit, available at Jensine's “Good as New” Merchandise in the Imperial City, Market District (items are restocked regularly; waiting a few hours is enough).

  Whenever you take any kind of damage in combat (weapons, spells, etc.), you have a 15% chance to start bleeding. Yep, any source of damage that reduces your health can cause bleeding.

  Bleeding has three levels of severity:

  Light: The least dangerous form of bleeding.

  Moderate: It’s starting to get serious…

  Severe: If you don’t act quickly, death is certain.

  Want to obtain the items without visiting a vendor? No problem, use these commands (you will need Runtime EditorIDs):

  player.additem zzBandage 5

  player.additem zzSewingkit 1

  Notes:

  • []Make sure to carry a supply of bandages before setting out on an adventure.[/]

    []For low-level characters, this mod can be very challenging (especially at the highest level of bleeding).[/]

    []Bleeding is not progressive, meaning you can suffer a severe bleed right away.[/]

    []The mod simply adds an injuries mechanic and bandages. It doesn't change the character’s appearance at the moment.[/]

    []Bandages stop bleeding but do not restore your HP.[/]

    []On the first launch of the mod, 10 bandages are granted to help you during your first combats.[/]

    []You are free to create patches/addons and publish them on Nexus Mods.[/]

    💡 Beginner Tips

    • Check if the mod requires a new save or works mid-playthrough—bleeding mechanics can be script-heavy.
    • If you're using other combat mods, load Injuries after them to ensure its changes take priority.
    • Test on a backup save first to see if the bleeding rate feels balanced for your playstyle.
