!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*This is a reupload, the old file that I couldn't update was stuck at version 3.6b*
You need to make a "clean save" to use the new version if you had the old one installed. Uninstall the mod by following the uninstall instructions, load your game without the mod installed, save, then install the new version.

NOTES
===
Please read the FAQ first before posting issues. You will most likely find answers there so you don't have to wait for a reply.

DLC Patches?
I am not allowed to post a separate download link to the patches on this Steam page(links get removed). You will need to download the file from Nexus and just move the DLC patch to your Skyrim folder.

You need Skyui and SKSE to use the MCM options. It is NOT required for the mod to work.

If you are not getting any blood you may need to make the decal amount graphics option higher. It is found in the Skyrim Launcher options.

Use only one Compatibility patch!

===
How to Uninstall
===
You will need to do this or else your game will crash on startup, this will make sure that the scripts stop. This is a game engine issue which has been fixed in Fallout 4.

-Go to an indoor area where there are no blood splatters anywhere. If there is blood in the area previously you should first fast travel somewhere else. (If this is not done you may crash when the mod is uninstalled)
-Open console using the ~ key, and type the following:
stopquest zGoreEffectsPlayerQuest
pcb

If you have SkyUI you can just click the uninstall button in the MCM menu instead of typing in the commands on the top.
