Tyranids vats target Thread - Warhammer 40k Conversion mod for Fallout 3

Whenever I try to target a tyranid (mole rats) with vats (using a ranged weapon) I cannot target any part of its body but the left foreleg (does almost no damage at all) , I have no clue if its just my install or if I'm using a bad version of fallout3, but it makes the game unplayable as I die constantly trying to fight them with melee as they pummel me with extremely powerful attacks (usually kill me in 2-3 hits, and thats only fighting one of them. My character has 8 strength 7 endurance for survivability but that is thwarted by my inability to kill a simple tyranid do to the bug)

what level is your character? and what weapons were you using?
vats, this happens, it is a bug, not your installer

well I just reinstalled my game just for this mod so I started a fresh level one, still have the baseball bat and pistol you get from the vault.

@ NOOBITO

you have activated it in fomm? or tick it on "data files" part of the launcher

I have not installed Fomm just yet, and yes I have them ticked on in data files.

your character should start off normal, but you will notice more changes a bit later, more noticable starting changes in the new patch
