1-31-2024 Heya, lemme see if I can help a few people out with some suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mod eventually stops working There is an engine bug in Skyrim that eventually causes spells/magic effects to stop updating conditions. There is a mod that fixes this called Bug Fixes SSE by meh321.
The customize killmove feature uses a spell/magic effect that activates when the player triggers a killmove, a script is fired at the end of the killmove using the OnEffectFinish() event that then chooses the next killmove.
If you're experiencing the same killmove over and over again, or this mod or some other mod has just stopped working over time, it's possible meh321's mod may fix your issues. If it doesn't, I don't have any other ideas.
Nothing works and customize killmoves is grayed out VioLens mirrors Skyrim's vanilla killmove state when you first install it, to customize killmoves you have to set killmoves to On:Customized. After that, you have to actually customize the killmoves for each weapon yourself or load one of the presets that comes with VioLens.
JContainers This is just a utility to allow loading and saving text files for the MCM, it doesn't interact with killmoves in any way. It is only needed if you are using the profile system to load and save settings.
Decapitations cause crashing This is a bug caused by overlays, it will happen with or without VioLens installed.
Werewolf killmoves freezing at the start I think at some point these killmoves actually worked properly, maybe before patch 1.5 in 2012? Either way, another vanilla bug. There's a mod called Precision Creatures that fixes the freezing. It can be installed and used without needing to use Precision. Requires patching with Nemesis.
Modern Combat Overhauls I don't use any of these newer 3rd person combat mods, but if you are using them, I'm sure they either have some patch to make them work with VioLens, or will let you know if they aren't compatible. Since VioLens was made well before any of them existed, I can't help you with how it may or may not interact with these kinds of mods. Check their descriptions and comment sections to see if there are patches you need.
New Hotness When VioLens first released, my predecessor, DaedalusAI, the author of The Dance of Death, was nice enough to mention it as an alternative. As such, after about 10 years, if you wanna check out a new killmove mod, see if Kaputt - Melee Killmove Manager suits you better. I haven't tried it myself, but it seems promising, and is using an SKSE DLL plugin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All right, that's all I've got. I'll check back in around 2030 when TESVI releases and they've stripped all of the killmoves out of that too.

Best mod to get that killmove dopamine, I used for many years, but now the Precision mod doesnt work with Violens, and they say Kaputt works. So im going with that now, but not without endorsing this mod as it deserve.
EDIT. it seems kaputt doesnt completely replace violence, it doesnt do range killmove, so the two mod can work together in harmony, hopefully. just disable violence melee.
Seems like archery killmoves messing up bow aiming. Some of the bug I noticed: 1. At close to medium range it pulls the arrow to the sides. 2. When doing headshot the arrow completely miss or just went through the enemy. 3. At long range, especially when there are multiple of them, shooting at their general direction makes the arrow is homing towards an enemy, even when they behind cover.
I think it's very generous of you to let us know about a possible successor to your mod.
But i've used Violens for nearly a decade with little in the way of issues so i'll stick to what i know. That other mod is too much of an unknown quantity.
Hello, I have been using this magnificent masterpiece for years, but just recently the "last enemy restriction" options seems to not work anymore. As well as the feature where the "camera doesn't change, but plays the killmove animation from the same 3rd person camera I am currently using". Just those. All the other features still work fine. Does anyone else have this phenomenon? Much appreciated and more power to the community....
Is MCM settings reset between sessions intended behaviour? I created a profile to load everything quicker, but it's still quite annoying having to go into MCM every single time.
I've been using your mod for a while, but lately I have come across a lovely mod named "Thick Thighs Take Lives", which brings a touch of comedy and erotica for THEIR set of killmoves.
So, my question is pretty straightforward. Can I use both together? If yes, which should take priority on the Load Order?
Thanks SO much for this awesome mod you've presented us, alongside HeartBreaker!
