About this mod Machine translation
Allows killing necessary NPCs by attacking them when they fail.
introduce
Many important NPCs can now be killed by hitting them with a power attack while downed. This is a Skyrim LE mod remastered by Yoshanuikabundi who gave permission to the mod page itself. I updated the mod, forwarded the USSEP changes and removed the quest changes that were used to prevent characters from becoming essential. Now the mod just adds a script to many basic NPCs, allowing you to kill them after they are downed. Killing NPCs required for certain quests will cause those quests to fail or make them impossible to complete through normal means. If you come across a base NPC that can't be killed, please let me know and I'll see if I can add the NPC.

Introduction
Many essential NPC's can now be killed by hitting them with a power attack when they are downed. This is a remake of the mod for Skyrim LE by Yoshanuikabundi who gives permission on the mod page itself. I updated the mod, forwarded USSEP changes and removed the quest changes which used to prevent characters from being made essential. Now the mod only adds a script to many of the essential NPC's which allows you to kill them after they are downed. Killing NPC's that are needed for certain quests will fail those quests or render them uncompletable by normal means. If you come across an essential NPC that cannot be killed, let me know and I'll see if the NPC can be added.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
