📋 About This Mod
NOTE FROM AUTHOR: Development of this mod is currently severely neglected due to being busy at work and dedicating most of my development time to my other mod, View Yourself VR. At it's current state I do not recommend using this mod due to game breaking bugs. If you really want to try the mod out, use the old version. I will completely rewrite this mod after I'm done with the other one.
When you die in VR, normally you see no changes and it can be quite confusing. Now you at least get to see your character hit the floor lifeless.
Important update info:
After updating the mod from 1. 0 to 1. 1, if you are getting a weird glitch where npcs are in a t-pose and you are unable to move, either loading an earlier save where you did not have the mod installed or starting a new game and then loading your newest save should resolve the issue.
Version 1. 1:
- Modded stuff that use those extra body slots should now appear correctly.
- Added a blue screen tint when you die.
- Added a slow motion effect when you die.
- Extended death timer slightly.
How it works:
When your player character dies, it spawns a clone with your equipment, moves it to your position and kills it immediately. As such the ragdoll force might not match the real thing(needs testing with giants).
Coming next:
Will take your suggestions for improvements and ideas.
Compatibility:
Slight incompatibility with the mod Andromeda - Unique Standing Stones of Skyrim in the lover stone effect - Undying Love.
Probably conflicts with any other mod / perk that hooks into events concerning player death.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 222 endorsements and 9,464 downloads, so it's got a following despite the issues.
- The concept is solid: seeing your character drop adds clarity to VR deaths, which is a real problem in Skyrim VR.
- Version 1.1 added polish like the blue tint and slow-mo, showing the author cared about the experience.
⚠️ Cons
- The author explicitly says the mod is severely neglected and has game-breaking bugs—don't use the current version.
- Known incompatibility with Andromeda - Unique Standing Stones of Skyrim's Undying Love effect, and likely conflicts with any mod that hooks into player death events.
- The ragdoll force might not match the real death, so giants and other physics-heavy deaths could look off.
For Skyrim VR players who want a more immersive death experience and are willing to tinker with older versions. If you're a completionist who wants to see your character hit the floor, this is for you—but only if you're okay with potential bugs. Skip if you want a stable, actively maintained mod; the author recommends waiting for a rewrite.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on the current version and hit the T-pose glitch, load an earlier save from before the mod was installed, or start a new game and then load your newest save.
- Use the old version if you want a more stable experience, as the author recommends.
- Be careful with mods that alter death events or perks—this mod will likely conflict with them.
