Is There A Way To Disable The Gore? Any Tips For A Less Violent Run?

[play4theking]

Hi i am trying to make this experience less violent for a kid and was wondering if there are any tips and hints or mods settings anything for a newbie like me to know before diving into Fallout for the first time but want the first time to be a VR experience. Thank you any thing positive is much appreciated!

Give this a try:
In your \steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4 VR\Fallout4.ini

change
bDisableAllGore=0 to 1
and
bBloodSplatterEnabled=1 to 0

I think that should take away exploding body parts and splattering blood but i dont think it will take away gore that is a part of the world/map, like super mutants netted body parts or impaled body decorations.

Did it work?

Sorry for the necro, just chiming in to say that it works very nicely. No more massive blood geysers whenever you get a headshot kill. Also feels like it helps performance a bit, but I could be wrong.

I think your observation about performance is likely correct given that what happens with gore on is that a bunch of gibs/textured models get spawned in to replace the body part in question.
They then bounce against each other and on the ground, likely taking more performance to calculate than just keeping the original body part attached to the body ragdoll physics.

Good to hear it worked.
