📋 About This Mod
2/17/2026: Added the Half-Res file Optional for those who wanted a 1K version. Enjoy!
From the LE mod page:
I found the blood splatters very unnatural looking so I just decided to make my own.
I tried just a few hours ago and the feedback was right and it did not look real neither so I remade this again.
Hope you find this better than vanilla ones.
The included textures are 2048x2048
I used this mod often when playing on XB1 before building my PC and enjoyed it. Surprised it wasn't ported over to SE.
A nice, small alternative to EBT or those not wanting a scripted blood mod.
Permissions were completely open and thus, uploading to SE for those who might want it.
