@ RiliththeRogue

I don't play with general subtitles on so I don't get any subtitles for things likes that.

Is it possible for you to just play with dialogue subtitles?

I've uninstalled and re-installed Skyrim a few times already trying to get Deadly Mutilation to work. I can't get this mod to work even on a fresh install with no other mods installed (excepting SKSE and SkyUI).

Every time it's the same thing: Deadly Mutilation shows up in the MCM menu, but I never get any mutilation animations during kills. Characters just fall over dead like they normally would.

I've been in empty rooms, saved, quit the game, ran the mod installation, loaded the saved game, reset everything, saved and exited again, then started up Skyrim again, loaded THAT save, exited the room and----nothing. I choose a 100% mutilation chance and still every kill is just a basic ragdoll fall. I've tried manual installation, both the CBBE and vanilla meshes, using and not using the realistic ragdolls and force mod, the FNIS animation thing, different weapons, different characters, different saves, I moved the mod to the bottom of the load order in NMM... everything I can think of and nothing makes a difference.

I appreciate you taking the time to help people - any ideas for me? Thanks!

@ ddddownload

First thing I have to rule out is you testing on the wrong enemies/not using power attacks.

Don't forget the mod is limited not all NPC's are capable of being mutilated.

Unnamed guards are the best to test the mod on, such as the guards between Riverwood and Whiterun. Use a 2H sword and make sure you use a power attack, the only thing that will happen without a power attack is MAYBE a sliced arm.

Oh geez - I'm an idiot. The mod works, I just wasn't using power-moves to defeat the opponents.

But now there's a different problem. Parts of the defeated enemies become suspended in air after they die. So now dismembered arms, brains, and weapons are floating everywhere. Any ideas about that?

Thanks again. :-)

Np.

That happens to me occasionally too. I'm not sure of the cause, I've heard it's something to do with skeletons but I'm nowhere near sure enough to tell you to mess with that and expect a fix.

Oh if you enchant a weapon with lightning and it procs on an enemy.. they'll go into that little seizure and their organs will slowly rise into the air until it stops ;P I always play with BFS effects on too so I'm not sure if it's BFS that has that effect, it's amusing to watch though.

Hey thanks again. Right now it seems to work off and on. Like I'll "cut someone in half" and their guts will spill out - but their body will remain whole. Or I'll explode a head and the entire body will become invisible, save the hands and feet. Weird stuff :P

It's possible the enemy not being cut in half but the organs spilling isn't a bug.

This happens most often when I use 1H swords but it's happened with 2H as well it's possible that it's just one of the types of mutilations, in this case you would slash them open rather than cut entirely through them.

Who knows though ;P

-Edit I found out it's 100% not a bug. If you take off the enemies top after that mutilation you can see an obvious cut from their chest down the stomach.

Hey Sesheenku,thanks for you guide. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. My bug is only when cutting off arms do I get the missing leg textures. But if I remove the armour the textures return and I can see the legs again. Its the same for both females and males. I use CBBE and followed your guide. Cheers.

In response to post #10859383.

I'm not entirely sure since I didn't make the mod.

My best advice for anyone who wants to find the direct cause is just have your body mod and DM installed and go test it out to see if you can get the invisibility again.

If you only have DM and CBBE installed and you still got the invisibility it would be a problem with Lamers script.

If you can't then you'll have to reinstall your mods one by one until you find the culprit.

I hope you'll excuse me but I'm not willing to go that far myself since the bug only happens once in a while for me and I just ignore it when it does.

That said there's only three possible errors I can think of and that's as I said.

1 Texture conflict

2 Mesh conflict

3 The mods scripts haven't been cleaned of improper lines.

Cheers Sesheenku I myself don't have the energy to go back through the mods, I am using Mod Organizer though and I think that could be the issue, using a virtual directory system thingy...

I can deal with it - atleast its working hehe.
