📋 About This Mod
For now Dwon410 released a version with fixed essentials and everything in this mod become outdated. But as I see, protected NPCs can still become gored after non-player attacks, so I'm going to make a fix for that.
Essential NPCs are protected from being gored.
Protected NPCs can get awful wounds only from player's attacks.
It is just a scripts replacer without additionals plugins or new scripts, that's why it is safe to install or uninstall this mod anytime.
Compatible only with 5. 6 version on Maximum Carnage.
Maximum Carnage Essential fix is a small immersion mod that prevents essential and protected NPCs from being gored while dying, ensuring they don't appear mutilated but still alive. It only affects dying NPCs, so player kills on protected NPCs can still trigger gore. With 782 endorsements and over 51k downloads, it's a popular compatibility fix for gore mods.
