📋 About This Mod
"Hear our cries oh darkness, devour thine dead, swallow their skins and feast upon the rotting--to make them no more.
Relieve us of our burdens; free us from their memories..."
Are you tired of seeing dead bodies and ash piles hanging around day after day, week after week?
Do you use Sands of Time and by chance, left over 300 dead bodies in Bleak Falls Barrow?
Have you have resorted to dumping the bodies in the sewers?
And... is your game not stable due to dead npcs all over Skyrim eating up game resources?
The Darkness has heard your pleas, and it has answered.....
The Sands of Time Team proudly presents: Dead NPC Cleaner
1) Automatically remove dead bodies. Once you leave an area the mod will quietly delete the dead.
2) Optionally use flame or fire spells to burn the dead. You can also use a torch (kinda), see sticky (on the post page).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,682 endorsements and nearly 29k downloads.
- Solves the classic Skyrim problem of bodies piling up and tanking performance.
- Gives you control—either auto-clean or roleplay a pyromaniac with fire spells.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or AE.
- No mention of MCM options or configurable settings—likely a simple on/off behavior.
- Only handles bodies and ash piles, not other clutter like dropped items or debris.
For Skyrim players who hate tripping over corpses in every dungeon and want smoother performance. Also great for fire mages who want a lore-friendly way to dispose of the dead. Skip if you want a full cleanup mod for all clutter—this is specifically about bodies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install via the manager to keep your load order clean.
- Test with a fire spell on a fresh corpse to see the burn effect—it's satisfying.
- Since it's from 2020, check if you have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch installed to avoid conflicts.
