About this mod Machine translation

As the name suggests, dead NPCs (aka editor dead NPCs) placed in the world by the game or mods will appear with invisible bodies when you enable BodyGen (random body transformation). This F4SE plugin will fix that old bug once and for all.

Address Library for F4SE Plugins:

Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE):

LooksMenu:

The default version (applicable to the 1.10.163 version of the game) and the NG version (applicable to the next-generation version of the game) files have been uploaded. You can choose one of the two to download and install according to your own game version.

----

Technical details:

Editor-dead NPCs are treated differently during 3d updates, and the game will "ignore" them if they don't have a specific flag. Flags added when you take equipped armor from their inventory, for example. That's why when you do this, the body pops up.

This plugin does just that without removing anything. Once their cells load, the logo is added to them, their 3d updates, and then the logo is automatically removed by the game.

Looksmenu bodygen is a great feature that adds a lot of variety to the game, but some people (including me) are reluctant to enable it due to this bug. This Plugin should eventually put and end it.

Disclaimer:

~~This addon is only compatible with Fallout 4 Old Generation. When I update the game myself, the Next Gen version will be available.

If you don't want to wait, please contact me and I may release it sooner if you are willing to test it. ~~

Thanks to Qudix, Flenarn, GELUXRUM for providing NG address library IDs and WYSIWYG tests, Next Gen version added.

uninstall:

This mod can be safely removed at any time. Manually delete "Data\F4SE\Plugins\InvisibleDeadBodyFix.dll" or use the "Uninstall" function of your mod manager.

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.
