Maximum Destruction adds magical gore effects to Skyrim. It allows you to pass down a gruesome elemental death to your opponents. You can burn them to a crisp, freeze them solid, send shocks down their spines or even watch as your poison slowly drains the life out of them.
Thank You for Your Support
To those who have taken the time to donate, you are more rare than you realize. So I thank you for being the generous souls you are.
Also, to those joining me on Ko-fi and Patreon, words can't express how awesome you are. Cheers!
!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!
If you are running Maximum Carnage or Maximum Destruction alongside PLANCK, a bug of sorts exist which can cause gored bodies to turn invisible, read about it here. The mod author is currently working on a solution so, hopefully, they'll have this fixed soon.
***** Requirements *****

***** Update 1.3 *****
1. Added new pre-death and death ice effects (see pics).
2. Switched back to using 3d models with burn and shock textures already applied. Hopefully, this new method will not cause the texture overload bug when playing Skyrim AE.
3. Fixed burned, frozen and electrocuted bodies not reanimating correctly.

***** Compatibility *****
This mod will only conflict with mods that also add gore/death effects and ones that alter the base creatures.
Maximum Destruction is 100% re-texture ready.
***** Performance *****
Best I can tell, this mod is very performance friendly. It's scripted but the script only runs as needed, versus all the time so, again, very performance friendly.
