📋 About This Mod
Overview
Maximum Carnage is a gore mod made for those who want a more bloody and gory Skyrim. Chop off limbs, smash heads, the choice is yours. This mod was inspired by lamer1000's amazing Deadly Mutilation mod, so a big shout out and thanks to him\her.

As of v10. 0 or newer, this mod changes the base NPC type's 3D models (read descritption). As a result, no model re-placer mods will be compatible. You can still use them but make sure to disable effects for that NPC type in the MCM. Any re-texture mods will work and mods that add new NPC types. I will be making patches in the near future, so just hang in there until then.
Also, if you're using Dismembering Framework, disable effects for one or the other for each NPC type. Except humanoids, both mods should work well together.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 16,623 endorsements and 3M downloads show it's a go-to for gore fans.
- Delivers exactly what it promises: dismemberment and gore, no bloat.
- Last updated April 2026, so it's actively maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is thin—no details on compatibility or features beyond dismemberment.
- May conflict with other combat or body mods, but no specifics given.
For Skyrim players who want brutal, visceral combat with dismemberment. If you're tired of enemies staying intact after a killing blow, this is for you. Skip if you prefer realistic or non-gory combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after other combat overhauls to ensure dismemberment works.
- Check if you have a body mod that might affect dismemberment—test on a bandit first.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it overwrite conflicting files for best results.
