📋 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.
