📋 About This Mod

This mod attempts to fix the physics that you get when your characters gets thrown up into the air by getting killed by giants.

Description

NOTE: This mod is obsolete and no longer supported as it has been included in Andrealletius' Exploit Fixes.

This mod is small edit to some "explosion" records (Yes, the giant slam is considered an explosion.) in an attempt to fix the insane physics you get when killed by a giant, aka "Project Dovanaut".

I reduced the force in the following explosions to 0:

  • []crGiantStompExplosion "Giant Stomp" (was 100.)[/]

    []crGiantSlamExplosion "Giant Stomp" (was 100.)[/]

    []crGiantSlamExplosionBIG "Giant Stomp" (was 3000.)[/]

    Especially the third one can cause issues. Yes, it can be funny to see your character or NPCs getting thrown up into orbit. However, it also affects essential and protected NPCs, such as followers, which can get them stuck in animation, or a piece of terrain. In addition, in rare extreme cases, it can lead to crashes.

    I am also aware that this was actually fixed by Bethesda in an early official update, but put back in the game by request, as people found it funny. Regardless of that, I thought to make this available for people that do wish to see this fixed.

    There's also an additional file, which replaces all the unplayable giant clubs in the world and replaces them with Misc objects. The clubs were only lootable by asking a follower to do something (favor) and pick up the club. However, now they are lootable by the player, but unequipable.

    Q: Bethesda "fixed" it, but put it back in after people requested it. So it's intended.

    A: I disagree. Bethesda is known to not properly fix their games, so leaving something in like this, is exactly in their nature. Not me though, regardless of what Bethesda thinks, I still consider it a bug that needs to be fixed.

    Q: "Why fix this? It's fun!"

    A: "While it may have been fun the first five hundred times, it gets old. Also, it sometimes caused crashes and other issues on my end."

    Q: "It's not a bug, it's a feature./I don't like this "fix"."

    A: "Don't download this then, and move along silently."

    Q: Does installing/updating/uninstalling on an existing save work?

    A: As far as I know, it should. However, it's good practice to keep a backup save prior to doing this, just in case.

    Q: Is this compatible with <insert mod>?

    A: I don't know by heart. You might need to check yourself.

    Q: Will you make a patch for <insert mod>?

    A: Only if it's a mod I use myself or plan on using, I have enough time and I actually like the idea. Otherwise, feel free to do it yourself. (see permissions)

    Q: I have a sugg
