📋 About This Mod
Locational Damage SKSE port for VR/SE. Original mod for Skyrim LE: Locational Damage by Felisky.
I wanted to port this mod since I think the game should be more skill based, and there was no good mod for adding extra damages on headshots etc. This definitely works best with increased difficulty through the game options or other mods that make NPCs much stronger!
