No Stagger NPCs

About
In vanilla, humanoid NPCs will play a prolonged stagger animation when taking a critical hit from a ranged weapon. Well this sounds pretty good on paper but it results in enemies getting constantly stunlocked and unable to fire a single shot back in many occasions. This mod addresses this issue by slightly modifying a few vanilla records so crits no longer trigger those dramatic staggers anymore. Moreover, enemies will still play their normal micro flinch animations when getting shot at so it still looks pretty natural if not better visually.
Please note, this mod only affect how enemy stagger to ranged weapon crits. Melee, explosive and the stagger legendary perk all have their own separate formula for stagger to trigger and therefore left untouched. Also, these are pretty balanced as far as I'm aware of but I'm open to ideas.
Installation
This is a single esm plugin, just install it like normal.
Compatibility
Everything that not editing the same record, should be none.

Allows the player to command followers and other allies to do things, as was possible in previous Bethesda games. Also allows you to access the inventories of unnamed crew.

You're not the center of the world! Make NPCs act less like NPCs!

The #1 Leveled Enemies mod on Nexus (via inclusion in Royal Galaxy) finally comes to Creations! Enemies you come across will be unique and fun to fight, even at high levels.

Turns Gravity Wave into a proper “force push” power, using ragdoll physics instead of the vanilla knockdown animations. Designed to be fair and balanced.
