📋 About This Mod
FYI: I don't watch comments as much as I should, but it's not my intention to abandon my mods. I do, however, watch PMs. If you come across any issues and I don't respond to a comment on the comments page (which is actually pretty likely) PLEASE feel free to PM me! I don't bite and a PM sends me an email notification that a comment doesn't send.
Additionally, if you have any UI mod installed that affects the HUD - ESPECIALLY if that mod is something other than Darnified UI or MTUI - it's heavily recommended you read the information under "Installation/Uninstallation" and "Compatibility."
Finally, for the MTUI and Darnified UI versions, please make sure you have the latest versions of each - you can get the latest Darnified UI here and the latest MTUI here
Dynamic Crosshair adds a dynamically resizing crosshair to Fallout 3, which grows and shrinks in real time to show your current weapon's accuracy.
As an aside, you may notice while looking at screenshots that there are no crouching or aiming shots at 100 big/small guns - that's because, at 100 big/small guns, crouching and aiming have no effect, so it seemed senseless to have four pictures of the same size crosshair.
All of the information below is available in the readme, which is bundled with the mod in .txt format, so you can read it at your leisure.
Please do NOT bundle this mod with yours. If you design a mod that works well with this, please link to it to ensure users always get the latest version. Additionally, if you wish to change this mod itself in any way, please read the information under "Credits and Permissions" in the box to the right.

Hey, look, I'm gonna do another lame introduction for absolutely no reason! Why do I do these? I don't know. I just told you there was no reason. So just get used to it already.
