📋 About This Mod
This mod makes it so dead bodies (NPCS and animals) decompose until turned into bones (a prosses that might attract rats). Also makes it so the dead are buried fast by npcs in a few towns
Immersive Decomposing Dead (SE VR AE) adds realistic decomposition to Skyrim, turning dead NPCs into draugr bodies after 2 days, spawning rats, and eventually leaving skeletons. Animals rot and leave bones. Reanimated bodies retain original stats and items. Requires SKSE and SPID, works with mods that don't remove bodies too quickly. Author has stopped development, leaving it open for others to improve.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 221 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads.
- Fills a lore gap—real skeletons are rare in Skyrim, and this mod adds realistic decomposition.
- Performance-friendly compared to the old Russian mod it was inspired by, with no reported FPS drops or CTDs.
⚠️ Cons
- Author has stopped development, so no future updates or bug fixes are coming.
- Requires SKSE and SPID, which adds setup complexity for modding newcomers.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter body removal mechanics or spawn rats, so compatibility testing is needed.
For hardcore immersion lovers who want Skyrim's world to feel more alive (and dead). If you're tired of seeing pristine corpses in every dungeon, this adds a layer of realism. Skip if you're not into cosmetic/immersion tweaks or if you don't want to deal with extra script load.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE64 and SPID installed correctly—this mod won't work without them.
- If you use a mod that removes corpses faster (like 'Clean Up Your Corpses'), this mod may conflict—check your load order.
- Since the mod is abandoned, consider using a mod manager to easily disable it if you encounter issues.
