While working on my mod to remove the gore added by Mutilated Dead Bodies while preserving its quest and ability to use it as a dependency for The Gorelords of Goretown, I was given a request to minimize if not entirely eliminate the gore and blood in the stock game itself.
First off, it is simply impossible to eliminate it all. Some things cannot be removed for risk of breaking the game or causing possible issues like the meatbag containers. Also, this was done strictly by what was possible with the stock game engine via plugin, I have neither the skill nor ability to retexture and remodel certain items to remove all offense, and I wouldn't anyway. Fallout 4 is a mature game with mature subject matter, and while I can greatly tone down the extraneous gore and blood, this is still a mature game.
That said, the following was removed via disabling but not deleting records, just their corresponding meshes.
Blood decals of any type, static gore pieces that are not critical, and lots of raider and super mutant gore have been removed by nixing their mesh data. They still will load ingame properly, just the player will never see it. This will also work for mod added areas if they use these stock resources, provided those mods do not overwrite the changes in this mod, which can be prevented by making sure it loads afterward.
To be honest, I rather prefer mods that let me clean up the gore and even get some useful materials back like Commonwealth Cleanup and Big Junk Remix, which I greatly recommend over this quick and dirty hackwork mod I made (though it does not remove permanent blood decals like the bloodstain across the Sanctuary Bridge like this mod does). That said, if you just want to see far less gore than is strictly needed, this mod should work.
Be advised there may be some floating objects or things that appear to hang in midair, since some of the gore clutter was used as poles and tables or other support like functions, but otherwise this should work as advertised. I did not delete dry, bloodless skeletons or bones of any type.
Let me know if there are any unforeseen issues.
