May be beyond the scope of the code, but always struck me that in a place so dangerous, no-one was missing bits. Only real exception is Ingram who uses a modified power armour frame. Even outside of war zones limb and digit loss isn't that rare, so where are the survivors in fallout with the junkyard prosthetics. Where's the old coot with no legs, but a dead eye with rifle? The scavenger with a hook she got after an argument with a molerat?
 
While a neat idea i feel this idea is outside the scope of SS2.
Off the top of my head I can think of a few mods that add prosthetic options for the player.
See if you can find any of them on bethesda.net as I see you are on xbox.
If you really want your NPCs to have things like this you should start there and create a custom level list for them.
The CK is free and any potato PC that can run FO4 on its basic settings can run the CK. (you will have to buy FO4 on PC but that should be cheap.)
 
implementing limbs and digit losses like Ingram is hard with existing mod tools
 
All good. Like a scaver in a junkyard, you can only use what you can use.
CK isn't an option for me right now since summer fried my GPU. Tied with aging, the PC has hit the replace rather than fix point, which ups the price quite a bit over PC copy of fo4. My access is now purely through xbox.
A bodgie glove job might work for a hand replacement, but yeah, options are low without code support. Could still sit someone in a wheelchair I guess, and Aiden does have his patch.

Cheers

There are mods out there that add "prosthetic limbs" like arms and legs, but from memory all the ones I saw that did that, mechanically they were a piece of clothing that changed that limb to look like a robot arm or whatever. Which caused problems if you wanted to ever have that person wear anything else, due to how Fallout4 handles "armor/clothing" slots.
And using Power Armor in the way they did for Ingram has its own issues - ever notice you never see her do much of anything? There's very few 'animations' that Power Armor can do.

Do note, I'm not saying it's impossible or that it wouldn't be "appropriate", just that the technicals of the game itself make it a tricky prospect to get working right.
