ℹ️ About disabling injury animation

If you disable, for example, the arm injury animation, and your arm is hit, you will get a "generic" injury animation, where your character won't cover any body parts and just behaves normally injured. If universal damage animations are also disabled, you won't get any damage animations for that critical hit.

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.
