📋 About This Mod
Overview
Maximum Carnage is a gore mod made for those who want a more bloody and gory Skyrim. Chop off limbs, smash heads, the choice is yours. This mod was inspired by lamer1000's amazing Deadly Mutilation mod, so a big shout out and thanks to him\her.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,149 endorsements—clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Simple concept: makes combat way more visceral and satisfying.
- Still updated as of May 2024, so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Potential performance impact from gore effects on lower-end systems.
For Skyrim players who want more brutal and immersive combat without overhauling the whole game. If you're tired of enemies just falling over, this adds that extra punch. Skip if you prefer realistic or less gory combat.

- If you use a mod manager, you can preview the mod's files to see what it changes.
- Test it on a single enemy first to see if the gore effects are too much for your taste.
