I (Suinier) redesigned GrilledTurkey's Mojave Mantises mod in an attempt to correct some oddities and differentiate them from Bloodbugs.

Using the ESP version of the original mod as a starting point, I've included two versions. Standard ESP and ESL-tagged ESP.

Unfortunately the existing patch may no longer work as I'll have to rework some things

This is what I changed:

Script injection has been completely removed from the Bloodbug level list. Now they don't spawn and replace bloodworms at all.

Manually place spawn points (usually grouped with others) in Commonwealth and Nuka worlds. In most cases, they are placed away from populated areas, with trees or bushes. I guess this makes sense since mantises tend to be ambush predators.

Due to the removal of script injection, the unloading holotape has also been removed as it is not necessary.

Mantis attacks on settlements have been removed. To me it really doesn't make sense for them to come together and launch an attack on your settlement.

The recipe for making Mantis Gloves is still present in the Chemistry Table, but will only be visible if you have at least one Mantis Front Leg in your inventory.

The Mantis Foreleg Loot is now a raw food item rather than a miscellaneous item, and has been given food properties similar to vanilla Blood Worm Meat.

Roasted Mantis food stats have been adjusted to better match Vanilla Delicatessen. It no longer provides radiation and now also increases melee damage!

Requires Mojave Mantis as a prerequisite. Download and install as usual, but disable or delete the original esp/esl files.

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.
