VioLens - A Killmove Mod

NOTE: The Profile System added in 2.1 requires JContainers[www.nexusmods.com] to work. If you do not wish to install it, VioLens will still work as it did before, the Profile System will simply be disabled without it.

VioLens - A Killmove Mod gives you in-game control over both Ranged and Melee Killmoves. (Read the FAQ below for more about VioLens and what it does differently from other mods like it.) Once you've properly installed VioLens, SkyUI, and SKSE you should be able to press escape, and in the System Menu, see "Mod Configuration Menu" listed with Save, Load, and Settings.

Q1: I have Dawnguard and/or Dragonborn, is there a version that supports them?

A1: Yes, it's part of the main file at VioLens' Skyrim Nexus Page.

Q2: Why does the Sleeper Hold Killmove's Camera linger for so long?

A2: The standard 3rd Person Camera for it is a bit broken, however, if you're using the 3rd Person Static Camera or have VATS disabled you shouldn't run into this problem. If you don't want to use those options, then I'd suggest not using the Killmove at all if it bothers you. No, I can't fix it.

Q3: Why isn't VioLens showing up in the Mod Configuration Menu? How do I get it to show up?

A3: It's just taking longer than usual, try waiting a few hours using the in-game wait feature. If that doesn't work, open the console in-game with ~ and type setstage SKI_ConfigManagerInstance 1.
