📋 About This Mod
This will make it easier to see scope reticules when it's dark, by changing their bland color from black to mostly red.
There are three types of weapons that have scopes in Fallout 3.
The most obvious are sniper rifles and their variants. I decided to change their reticules to something more pleasant.
The 44 Magnum comes with a scope and has its own variants. And you guessed it. They have a different reticule (as in, not the same as the sniper rifle).
The Infiltrator and Perforator are weapons from the Pitt dlc. They too have unique reticules.
There's also the Gauss rifle. I didn't change its reticule because I like it as is.
REQUIREMENTS:
-------------------------
- The Updated Unofficial Patch (soft requirement)
- Essentially all dlc, except for Point Lookout.
COMPATIBILITY:
-----------------------
This should work fine with Iron Sight Plus.
ABOUT OPTIONAL PATCH:
--------------------------------------
The patch inverts the colors of the Sniper rifle reticule (see included image). Some people may prefer it this way.
