Make your character and all other human-type characters take on ragdoll physics when they die instead of fading away.

Player Ragdoll Physics

🎮 **Make death more real! **

🎯 Core Functions

This mod revolutionizes the death mechanic in Elden's Circle! When you or any human-type NPCs and enemies die, they take on realistic ragdoll physics instead of simply dissipating and disappearing.

✨ **Featured effects:**

  • The body will maintain physical reactions after the character dies
  • Dust particle effects will still occur, but corpses will persist until the loading screen

-Imagine it is like the soul leaving the body!

⚙️ Scope of application

✅ **Applicability:**

  • Almost all death animations
  • Human type NPCs and enemies
  • Most knockbacks of death (like big arrows)

❌ **Exceptions:**

  • Few scraping attacks
  • Death Curse
  • Fall to death (dissipates directly)

🎪 Physical Properties

💫 **Interesting Physics Behavior:**

  • Human corpses have minimal friction when used as ragdolls
  • Often slides as if on ice
  • Easily kicked around, including your own corpse!

🤝 Compatibility Notes

  • Other modules that replace the "c0000.anibnd.dcx" file (need to be merged)
  • **EXTREMELY INCOMPATIBLE** Large remastered mods:

  • The Convergence
  • Carian Combo Warriors

-Mods that include animation modifications

🐛 Known issues

🔧 **Seamless Coop in:**

  • Other players will not be ragdolled, but will be frozen at the last frame of their death animation
  • But it won't disappear

🎁 **Item drop problem:**

  • NPCs that drop items may take a few seconds for the drops to appear.
  • Corpses may be kicked or slid into inaccessible areas, making it impossible to obtain items

👻 **Soul Summon:**

  • Human type soul summons, phantoms and intruders will have a ragdoll effect
  • But it will disappear quickly after death (game mechanism)

💰 **Rune location:**

  • If you die and are not resurrected for more than 10 seconds, the rune may appear at the ragdoll location instead of the initial death location.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
