Several groups of feral ghouls have evolved even further, learning to stay out of sight until enemies come indoors. Inside the dark, remote interiors of the Mojave feral ghouls could be preparing to ambush unsuspecting victims mistaking them for corpses. However, while laying down, feral ghouls are vulnerable to attacks.

FEATURES
Wastelanders and other explorers traversing buildings throughout the Mojave often find themselves falling victim to feral ghouls laying on the ground, pretending to be dead. Lurking within the gloomy confines of old interiors, feral ghouls lie in wait, preparing to surprise unsuspecting victims who mistakenly perceive them as lifeless corpses. Sneaking can potentially allow the player to pass laying ghouls undetected. Feral ghouls are known to wake up quickly, so sneaking is essential for catching feral ghouls while they're playing dead.
INSTALLATION
Choose only one version to install. Install the latest main file. For manual installation, extract the file to your game’s data folder. For a mod manager installation, install the file with your preferred mod manager.
COMPATIBILITY
Will most likely conflict with mods that place items or objects in the same locations. Mods that change feral ghoul appearances or feral ghoul stats are compatible.
KNOWN ISSUES
Glowing ones and other glowing variants were excluded temporarily as the glowing one script is still being worked on (so glowing ones can play dead and resurrect the dead simultaneously). Submitting a bug report will help me fix things faster if the mod is not working as intended.
PLANNED FEATURES
New different types of feral ghouls that play dead inside interiors will include feral ghoul children, mindless ghouls, irradiated feral ghouls, glowing ghouls, feral ghoul stalkers, deadly glowing ones, and alpha male glowing ones. Feral ghouls that play dead will have the chance to wear armor, robes, coats, and other apparel. Feel free to leave any requests or suggestions in the comments.
All assets are from the modder's resource Sleeping Ghouls. Consider endorsing the original author's mod. A special thanks to this resource for bringing modern feral ghoul gameplay to Fallout New Vegas.
