seconded, this mod is so useful in many aspects, not just for corpse disposal but because how hard it is to get bones in vanilla :bleach:

Don't apologize. Between not having to "waste" time, ground, or fuel to dispose of corpses, leveling the butchering skill without having to risk losing food practicing on critters, and gaining the bones necessary for weapons, armor, and practicing the carving and tailoring skills this is without a doubt one of the most useful mods I've ever come across. Quite possibly *the* most useful. You seem intent on keeping it active and up to date. I am more than happy to wait a couple days for encroaching issues to get resolved. :steamthumbsup:

Same issue. Tried with a kitchen knife and fillet knife.

Same issue as tokenpdx described. I thought it was the Bandits mod that didn't let me butcher bandit corpses but apparently it's just the bug of this mod. Would be great to see it fixed, bc it's such a good mod.

I have a hunting knife in my hand, the option is there to "Harvest Bones" but when I click, nothing happens - and I get errors now when killing zombies.

I've added it to a old save for testing, Does this mod require a new save?
