Update: Confirmed working for U12.2!

Ever get bothered by the cartoony-looking head "pop" that happens when you decapitate someone? Well, look no further! This mod reduces the amount of force that a head is "ejected" with when separated from the body.

This modifies player ragdoll data in the creature files for human males and females. It only affects the head, as the limbs seem fine to me.

It does NOT make dismemberment any easier than normal! You can use another mod like Simple Dismemberment along with this mod.

The alternate version includes Nonfatal Dismemberments. This means that NPCs can survive a hand, arm, or foot dismemberment. Decapitation (head) and full leg dismemberment will still always kill. It looks a bit weird if they're missing a leg and still walking around upright. Get it from the Files section.

Compatibility (U12.2)


  • Compatible with anything that doesn't modify Creature_HumanMale.json or Creature_HumanFemale.json. Mods that do affect these files may still be compatible, depending on what values were touched.
  • Survivable Dismemberment (mod.io) is not needed if using the Better Decaps with Nonfatal Dismemberments.


Compatibility (U11.3)


  • Compatible with anything that doesn't modify Creature_HumanMale.json or Creature_HumanFemale.json. Mods that do affect these files may still be compatible, depending on what values were touched.
  • Compatible with Non-snapping limbs (when using Nonfatal Dismemberments). Highly recommended!
  • Compatible with Simple Dismemberment (U11.3) by me. NOT required for Better Decaps to work.


Compatibility (U10.2)




Compatibility (U9 and U9.3)


  • Compatible with anything that doesn't modify Creature_HumanMale.json or Creature_HumanFemale.json. Mods that do affect these files may still be compatible, depending on what values were touched.
  • Compatible with Simple Dismemberment by me. NOT required for Better Decaps to work.
  • Compatible with Dismemberment (U9.3) by Piepop101.


Known Issues


  • Sometimes the head "sticks" to the body as the NPC is dying, and then falls off after the death animation is complete. Sometimes it looks weird, but sometimes it looks awesome.
