I can confirm this mod also works with the "Redd Upper" skin from the current event.
One question though: If you use the "burning" mod to add fire damage this mod also removes the fire sparks from the blade (in addition to the electrical sparks from the motor). Is that intentional? If yes, can you make it an optional feature? Removing the obstrusive motor is one thing, but I'm not sure the weapon mod effects fall into the same category.
I just unlocked the skin from the scoreboard, and it looks amazing with this mod installed. No more black smudge on the side where the motor used to be. Thank you so much for making this mod!
I've added an optional version that also removes the blade shroud, because I feel like it's silly to keep a safety feature on a tool that's been intentionally repurposed as a weapon (even if it exists to protect the user as much as others if not moreso). Also I just think it looks cool. Works with both skins (and should work with any future skins), I was just too lazy to take a screenshot of the default skin.
Really thank you for this, and I'm glad I wasn't the only one that got annoyed by that giant engine. I installed it and it removed the engine, but not the exhaust.
Crap, I probably forgot to include the nif for the exhaust pipe in the archive. I've been away from home for the past week but I'll be home tonight, I should have a new version up in twelve hours give or take.
Edit: turns out the exhaust pipe gets removed by the Electrified mod, so that explains how I forgot to include it. I also figured out how to remove all of the particle effects, although I had to do it in a roundabout way. In removing the sparks, I may have affected other objects besides the Auto-Axe, but I couldn't find any other option. Removing the smoke and fire will only affect the Auto-Axe.

the next thing i need to find it one where the blade attack actually is centered on the crosshair ^+^

Otherwise good work and excellent mod!
Would it be possible to get a version that removes the shroud alone? It's my least favourite change to the design from fallout 3.
Edit: it's up.
