Description
Change aiming and interaction crosshair for a more Intuitive and pleasant to eye experience.
I never liked the default crosshair, it's just too ugly, bland, unintuitive. I decided to make this after using the mod Alternate Crosshair by lionhaert, this is heavily inspired by that.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 890 endorsements and over 22k downloads
- Simple, clean aesthetic that reduces visual clutter
- Works for both combat and interaction, so it's a one-stop fix
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so it may not be compatible with current game versions

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is old, check if your game version has changed the UI system—if so, you may need to manually adjust the files.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily.
- Test the crosshair in both combat and interaction scenarios to see if it fits your playstyle.
