WHY?
Mainly to flesh out (😉) Fallout 4’s ghouls and sneak system. The inspiration for this mod was the idea of quietly luring away a stray ghoul from its horde and taking its place, walking among the ferals as one of their own. If that sounds fun to you, this is the mod for you.
|
This mod is intended to be paired with mods that make enemies deadlier, (Scourge + True Damage, or BLD, or even just vanilla's Survival Mode) on top of some of the recommended mods below. This is to give the player a reason to sneak around ghouls rather than just dealing with them head on, making them the threat that many NPCs claim them to be. However, GUT UP will work with or without any of those mods.

Notes / Minor Documentation:
- If you sprint, shoot, or swing your weapon, you will be detected as a human. Ferals might be brain-rotted undying shamblers, but they aren't stupid!
|
- Ghoul Guts are HEAVY. They were (once) someone's complete set of soggy, slimy innards. You aren't going to want to stockpile them and carry them around for use as needed. Ghoul Guts are intended to be used in the moment, don't save them for later! If you decide to lug them around with you then you'll have to manage that carry weight yourself.
|
- By default, Ferals drop one Ghoul Guts item at a rate of 55%, but both of these statistics can be easily raised or lowered (and are documented on how to do so) in the GUTUP_DISTR.ini file included in this mod.
|
- The debuffs stay for the duration even if your disguise fails. You still smell bad! The debuffs are: -8 Charisma, chance to get sick in survival mode, and a minor radiation effect.
|
- Not recommended to re-use Ghoul Guts when you are already being affected by Ghoul Guts. It'll eventually run out and all will be fine, but you might experience some temporary bugs/ghoul detection while it's active. 
|
- The only possible incompatibility GUT UP could have is with mods that add you to the FeralGhoulFaction for some reason. However, I don't know of any mods that do that.


RECOMMENDED MODS:
Grab and Eat Revisited - Allows you to apply Ghoul Guts to yourself straight out of the corpse. Now isn't that nice?
|
Ghoul Mask - Adds a very well-implemented alternative option for disguising as a ghoul or a Whisperer. GUT UP is compatible with this. Use one, the other, or both. I probably wouldn’t apply ghoul guts while wearing the mask, but nothing bad or game-breaking will happen. You *might* get detected by a ghoul if Ghoul Guts runs out with the mask on, but waiting for the effect to run out and then re-equipping the mask should fix any issues you might have, if any at all.


FAQ:

Can I use this with my favorite feral ghoul mod?
Yes. If it uses vanilla ghouls it will work. If it uses new ghoul creature there’s an almost 100% chance that it works straight out of the box, if the author made it correctly and added their new ghouls to the vanilla “FeralGhoulFaction”.
|
If it doesn't work for some reason, report it as a bug or leave me a message as a post and I'll most likely be able to fix it. Or, patch it yourself and upload on your page (with it it requiring GUT UP as a master) or send it to me and I'll upload it here and credit you.

Where does this go in my load order?
Load order doesn't really matter for this mod. But if you need a recommendation, load it right after any other feral ghoul mods.

Is this lore friendly?
I'm a vanilla+ player, I love Fallout 4. Lore friendliness is important to me. Personally, I feel like this is a logical and lore-friendly extension of the stealth system and adds depth to feral ghouls.

Can I use this with any of your other awesome mods?
Of course you may.

I've found a bug/This doesn't work for me.
Post it in the bug report section and I'll see what I can do.
