📋 About This Mod
This mod makes falling motions, rolling motions, bailing out motions and largely gunshot reactions & motions feel more authentic. This mod focuses to make NPC's behave more brutally, which includes a lot of stumbling, painful reactions to the stomach area, leg area and spine area. Headshots feel more brutal to watch as NPC's step forward in a very slow pace and fall. This mod is something different compared to my W. E. R. O mod. This mod was created to experiment with reactions, especially when it comes to brutal and painful reactions. I had a lot of fun making this and I hope you will love this mod! If reactions, that are brutal and painful to watch, are your style, then I recommend you try this out! Feel free to send feedback, I would appreciate to hear what you think!

This mod isn't exactly a large mod compared to W. E. R. O, so it doesn't use files such as weapons.ymt, fred.xml, wilma.xml and other body type files so this mod won't cause massive conflict with other mods. Only incompatible mods are mods, that use physicstasks.ymt. If there will include other files, they will be completely optional and not in the main package

Most Frequently Asked Question(s):
Q: Is it compatible with PDO?
A: 100% compatible. Just download the euphoria compatible version of PDO
Q: Is it compatible with other euphoria mods?
A: No, since euphoria mods use the same file which is physicstasks.ymt to modify euphoria behaviors
I recommend using A. E. M with these mods as a combination (Any combat overhaul mod fits):
WhyEm's BloodLust (Bloody As Hell version from the Standard Package)
