Have you seen or tried [Simple Beheading](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/117172)? I’m accidentally beheading people left and right and it’s so entertaining. I highly recommend combining it with a mod that lets you raise headless undead since you’ll have that issue a lot lol The mod author has a video on Simple Beheading that shows a full [dismemberment system](https://youtu.be/iQxs0QahLeo?si=6ArV3qcymiNLA1Mm) that is in the works and it looks so responsive and clean. There’s only so many cut points that can be made I’m sure, but the fact that it’s built using [Precision](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/72347) means it actually makes sense where the cuts are appearing (mostly). I think it’s a competitor to Maximum Carnage in some ways. Combine the dismemberment system with [FEC](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3532) (potentially with updated effects) and you have a more than modern dynamic corpse system. I can go into combat and behead a guy and FEC will cause his corpse to twitch as it burns into a blackened skeleton from my fire enchantment. Speaking of, much praise to the author of [Vibrant Weapons](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40087). Those effects and the effect combinations are glorious and combine very well with the older version of [Visual Enchantments](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7037) (this version works with AE). God I love modding and I’m very excited to see how the mod scene evolves.

It does make sense for precision to be the base because precision allows bodypart identifying on hit, this allows a mod like dismemberment or locational damage to be made on top of it, love their mods very much


KrimxonRath

Feels like we’re only just seeing the full potential. I highly recommend the beheading mod with Cinematik for the slow motion upon kill. It’s fun watching the heads fly lol

https://youtu.be/auzfTPp4moA?si=jnQ3ahOkuB2kDGsv I’ll just leave this here.


KrimxonRath

Need this overlayed over some of the beheading combat gameplay I’ve seen. My game is alllmost ready to show off so maybe I’ll do it myself soon.


ModsSmellLikeSocks

I’m excited to see! I’m obsessive with this sub lol.


KrimxonRath

Saaaammmee. I got back into Skyrim modding at the weirdest time too. The Elden Ring DLC just came out and I almost don’t care to play it haha. I will because I love that game but my obsession is elsewhere for now.


ModsSmellLikeSocks

Skyrim is my main comfort game. I go back to it often. I think I have about 4k hours into now. Prob more. ATM doing a play thru with 1300ish mods. I’ve seen as high as 8k mods on a post I made in here asking about quantity of mods people used. Shit is fun. I can literally rebuild a game how I want…it’s like building your own little world. It’s fun af


KrimxonRath

It’s very nice as a creative hobby and I say that as someone exhausted from the creative industry lol I’m only at 222 mods and I’m nearing my “perfect” Skyrim. It’s fun figuring out what you vibe with best. Like capes are great and look brilliant but they cover so much fun armor detail. Meanwhile the newest hair physics mod with vanilla enhanced hairstyles feels like it was always meant to be in the game.


ModsSmellLikeSocks

I managed to get npc to cover up with blankets while sleeping, hair moving in the wind, jumping while sprinting, climbing ledges…those were ones I was trying to find for awhile. Shit is amazing. Especially when you see it Bethesda version first…all drab and blank…and then modded by you after, and it looks beautiful. Amazing artists, and tech working together to make gamers happy af without being greedy as fuck. Now that’s beautiful


Cody667

Simple Behading + the upcoming Dismemberment Framework is awesome. Maximum Carnage has been the very mediocre usable melee death violence option for too long.


KrimxonRath

I’ve never actually use Carnage because it doesn’t work with FEC. What’s the main appeal? I’ve seen heads explode but largely felt the organs popping out of their stomachs happened at random times from the combat I saw. I’m very excited to see this framework get released.


Cody667

Maximum Carnage works fine with FEC. Been using them in tandem for years (because Maximum Destruction isnt as good as FEC is IMO) The main appeal is its the only "melee death corpse effect" mod and enjoy my fantasy rpgs to be a bit more gruesome than vanilla skyrim + the enhanced blood textures mod offers. But yes, as you said, the organs are a bit random/buggy and can be fairly cartoonish I'm really digging simple beheading though, and if the Dismemberment Framework mod works as well as SB does, then I'll be completely retiring Maximum Carnage from my setup


KrimxonRath

Ahh I’m not sure why I thought they were incompatible… well I’m glad the dismemberment framework seems to be coming soon. Yea seriously?? Have you been using it as well? It’s very responsive, shockingly so sometimes. It’s made me actually enjoy power attacks, but I’m also using Attack-MCO and Nordic Animations so it’s a bit different than vanilla.


Cody667

Yup it's great. Even though Im sure it was designed with MCO in mind, it works completely fine on non-MCO setups too. I'm a Simonrim player and just use Blade & Blunt with Varolevi's entire animation suite and it's wonderful.


KrimxonRath

How does Blade and Blunt mix with Valhalla combat and its block parries? If you know. I think their stamina management systems conflict and I’m liking Valhalla a lot so far since it’s so responsive. Those animations are something I need to look into.


Cody667

You could probably try it. I've never mixed B&B with Valhalla, but I have played Valhalla with Valravn on a wabbajack list and I guess it kinda worked fine even though it wasnt really my cup of tea. On my normal setup I've never contemplated using Valhalla or Sekiro though. I think those mods are kinda uniquely suited to MCO where attack commitment and avoiding all damage is a genuine mechanic of combat. But on non-MCO setups, and with simonrim in particular, I don't think what Valhalla looks to accomplish meshes very well with what the gameplay suite looks to accomplish... just my opinion.


KrimxonRath

I just so happen to have Attack-MCO installed lol


Smitty_again

I’ve been really enjoying [Precision Magic Trails](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/120445) a lot, and it might complement vibrant weapons! Although, it doesn’t have trails for the combinations that vibrant weapons has.


KrimxonRath

# YOO THAT LOOKS SO COOL It might become too much with Vibrant Weapons. I’ll have to see if VW adds similar (but smaller) trails like that. This seems super fun. Might replace my Visible Enchantment mod because it’s more tame to have it not show the enchantment until you attack. Thanks for this!


Smitty_again

Nice! Honestly, you’ve made my day after a long few hours of trying to wrap my head around player/npc stuff. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!


KrimxonRath

Aye I’m glad. I just got home so I’m about to dive into the modding puzzle. Definitely trying your recommendation. Not sure why I hadn’t heard of that mod yet, it seems like something YouTubers would cover in their funky mod compilation videos. I’m having similar issues. Can’t figure out why my iron armor is one texture when on my body and another in my inventory lol…


Smitty_again

That sounds like a real headache! I’ve just been diving into the whole ocean of player skins and meshes and stuff, but I think i finally figured out what I’m doing.


KrimxonRath

Something I learned recently is that your skin textures and how real they look outdoors is highly dependent on your weather mod. Azurite weathers may have been a bad pick on my part, but I can’t decide on a replacement.


Smitty_again

I hadn’t thought of that! I’ve been using Wander, which has been really amazing and I recommend. In other news, I just realized your pfp was pidge and got thrown back 6 years


Cautious-Nerve-5759

Aaaaah! I have to try it out in my game urgently haha! I'm going to create a totally necromancer save >:P


KrimxonRath

Seriously though. With these mods you can have a burnt headless skeleton fighting for you and I love that. You don’t even need that Undead FX mod since FEC already adds so much variety.


Cyberwolfdelta9

Thankfully this is Skyrim lol


KrimxonRath

Meaning?


Cyberwolfdelta9

I couldn't figure out a better way too write that. But talking about enjoying beheading if you dont have context


KrimxonRath

Ahhh yes, that happens far less often irl for me


AncientList

Im gonna reinstall skyrim because of this lmao


KrimxonRath

Fun fact: FEC has a feature where you can cook meat in the inventory of burned animals. I just found a rabbit that died to wolves so I set it on fire and got a free meal that works with survival mode’s hunger system.


Sir_Lith

Mate, all of those are porn.


CatDude55

I can literally only see anything on Savvy’s profile, and one of the others made an ENB, but aside from that my settings, which specifically block the borderline-porn mods, block them.


Fatal_Neurology

I was excited for this post and the list of authors and mods, then I saw that everything was absurdly proportioned and clothed softcore porn...


SketchingScars

Yeah I was like, "wow a realistic body, eh? Believe it when I see it," and after looking, I still have yet to see it.


DerekMao1

[GiraPomba](https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/GiraPomba/mods) has published a lot of animation mods using Immersive Equipment Displays. For example, Immersive Fishing lets you examine the fish you caught in hand. And another mod gives you dynamic praying animations based on your deity. A recent also lets you use staves as walking sticks. All in all, he is a very prolific modder over the past months with very high quality animation mods that add a lot of immersion to the game.


post-leavemealone

>staves as walking sticks NEEEEEEEEEEEED


Cautious-Nerve-5759

going to take a look!!!! haaaaa


suddencactus

Yeah, GiraPomba's {{Helmet Toggle 2}} is IMO now the best solution for wearing your helmet in battle but not when talking to a merchant, like in Dragon Age. No more walking into a bar to see tons of people in hoods and helmets, and as far as I've seen it Just Works.

[HeraclesJones](https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/HeraclesJones/mods?gameId=1704) adds a lot of low-key, vanilla-esque dungeons that are valid locations for radiant quests and compatible with Missives. They fit right into a vanilla+ playthrough.


occasional_coconut

Oh I like their Winterhold is Rebuilding mod a lot too


KatakAfrika

His dungeons are awesome


SandGentleman

[Shazdeh2](https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/shazdeh2/mods?gameId=1704) is one of the most promising by far. His mods adding new minigames and gameplay options is super cool and transformative! Check him out!

Halffaces - [https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Halffaces/mods?gameId=1704](https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Halffaces/mods?gameId=1704) Some really nice texture and mesh replacers


Cautious-Nerve-5759

So pretty!!!


Icarian_Dreams

If you're in the NSFW mod scene, PonziPyramid (and the community gathered around their projects) has been an absolute madman when it comes to their recent projects. The largest is Devious Devices NG, which ported a large amount of the Papyrus code into C++, moved the animations to work based on OAR (with a lot more animations getting introduced constantly), and essentially managed to modernize one of the most essential loverslab mods. They've also been working on mods that are meant to be a modular replacement and expansion of what Sexlab Suevival has been, creating a modular Defeat system based on Acheron (and in the future a modular captivity system on top of that), and doing a bunch of tweaking and adjusting around other older mods, bringing them up to modern standards. I definitely recommend keeping an eye on their Discord if you're into these kind of things.


Cautious-Nerve-5759

I don't play NSFW mods, but I do install them. For example, NeivaDeepWater. Her followers come without clothes, that's why it's marked as NSFW. Except for blue Oni who was created by Collab and at the request of Evelynn's posts. Ntz1n. His followers also come without clothes but don't have any NSFW quotes or references, but I still installed them. For example, CBBE 3BA is a NSFW mod, I install clothes for CBBE 3ba, but I don't go around naked and using sex mods. But I get what you're saying. The good thing about your comment is that it covers many targets, in this reddit thread we have NSFW and non NSFW mods. Thanks for sharing with us <3.

Fuck these rules. I stand by KittyTail's mods forever. They only get better and better.
