📋 About This Mod
Why do you need this mod?
Dismembering Framework is an incredible mod that allows limbs and heads to be severed in combat. Mods that change the race of draugr, like Draugr MCO/Improved, require a patch that points the mod to the correct limbs/addons and the correct race record.
What does this mod do?
Due to changes made to allow Draugr MCO and The Dragon Cult - Draugr Overhaul to function, a patch is needed for dismembering framework to have appropriate limbs and heads to, well, dismember. This patch duplicates records from the original Creature Framework provided by the author of Dismembering Framework, and adds the correct record names to the dismembering framework configuration files.
Requirements
Draugr MCO: I recommend using Draugr MCO Improved including the esp replacer optional file. Draugr MCO enabled is old and required by Draugr MCO improved anyway. If you don't like the difficulty of Draugr MCO Improved, you can always install the rebalance patch that nerfs them.
The Dragon Cult - Draugr Overhaul: This patch requires DF - Creatures by Xtudo - Hulking Draugr - Dry. This patch requires Draugrs - New models and textures.
Final notes
This is a beta version as I have tested it on a specific setup. If things aren't working as intended please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
Remember to toggle off "apply shader to limbs" in the Dismembering Framework MCM if you want bloodless limb objects.
This patch makes the Dismembering Framework work with Draugr MCO, Draugr MCO Improved, and The Dragon Cult - Draugr Overhaul by fixing race changes that break dismemberment. For Skyrim players using these draugr overhauls who want gore effects to function properly.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Essential for anyone running Draugr MCO or Dragon Cult with Dismembering Framework (200 endorsements, 138k downloads)
- Tiny patch that solves a real compatibility headache—no more broken dismemberment on draugr
- Actively maintained (last updated October 2024)
⚠️ Cons
- Requires three separate mods to be useful—if you don't run all of them, this patch is pointless
- Niche compatibility patch—only relevant if you specifically use Dismembering Framework with those draugr overhauls
- Potential load order conflicts if other mods also alter draugr races or dismemberment
For Skyrim players who run Dismembering Framework alongside Draugr MCO or The Dragon Cult - Draugr Overhaul and want dismemberment to work on draugr. Skip if you don't use these specific mods—this patch does nothing on its own.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this patch after the draugr overhaul mods in your load order so it overwrites their race records correctly.
- If you use a mod manager like MO2, let it sort your plugins with LOOT to minimize conflicts with other draugr edits.
- Test dismemberment on a draugr right after installing—if it doesn't work, check that all required mods are active and the patch is enabled.
