Defeat essential NPCs without getting down on your knees, but ragdoll like they're unconscious.
introduce
A port of the original "Essentials Ragdoll on Knockdown" from Skyrim LE by RavingKeroro with his permission.
This mode adds minor power, allowing Essential NPCS to ragdoll back when losing health and return to their original form for a short period of time, rather than being kneeling on the ground. It's similar to how Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas handle significant "deaths."
This mod uses a cloak script to add a spell to each person watching only the base NPC. Their ability to perform "pushactoraway 0" on them when their health reaches zero. Therefore, the necessary NPC will not push with the correct force if hit with a projectile. It might be possible, but I'm concerned that the effect would make the mod more drastic. It can be toggled in the powers menu. Once turned off, the spell will not assign abilities to any new NPCS.

Introduction
A port of the original "Essentials Ragdoll on Knockdown" from Skyrim LE by RavingKeroro with his permission.
This mod adds a lesser power to enable Essential NPCS to ragdoll when they lose their health and get back up after a short amount of time, rather than kneeling on the ground. It's similar to how Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas handled essential "deaths".
The mod uses a cloak script that adds a spell to everyone that watches only essential NPCs. When their health reaches zero, the ability they have executes "pushactoraway 0" on them. Because of this, essential NPC's won't be propelled with the right force if hit with a projectile. It might be possible, but I'm afraid that that effect will make the mod much more script heavy. It's toggleable in the powers menu. Once it's off, the spell won't distribute the ability to any new NPCS.

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.
