Aim Stability Fix - Better Aiming
Huge thanks to NegoSeth for putting together a comparison video! YLsdd8wrgMM
WHAT IS IT: A small mod that reduces the amount of sway on all vanilla weapons, without actually editing the vanilla weapon records (more compatible). INSTALLATION: Simply install with a mod manager of your choice, or extract the content of the mod to your data file and activate the mod manually.
COMPATIBILITY: This mod should be pretty comnpatible with anything that doesnt also change Aim Models (nothing that I know does). It also does modify a single gamne setting (fAimStabilityCrouchedScopeMult) And it changes the Spell effect of the sniper 1 perk (not the perk itself though).
Given that it's highly unlikely that there will be any conflicts, it should be safe to put this anywhere in your load order.
If you use any mods that overhaul perks then this mod will still work but you MAY find that your weapon doesnt sway at all if any perks improve AimStability more than vanilla.
If anyone would like to make a quick video comparison i'd be incredibly grateful. Also this should work on both XBOX and PS4, but I have no way of testing so if someone else would like to upload it to consoles I'd appreciate that too, just shoot me an inbox first to ask so I can grant permission, I don't want multiple versions uploaded so first in first served.
IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE SWAY OF SCOPES COMPLETELY THEN SOROKA HAS ALREADY DONE THIS WITH HIS MOD, BE SURE TO GET HIS RETEXTURES AS WELL, AS SEEN IN THE SCREENSHOTS!

OK, BUT TELL ME MORE: I was always really annoyed by the amount of sway on weapons in Fallout 4. I've found there is 3 ways to reduce it. 1. Use a Marksman's Stock. 2. Crouch/Sneak. 3. Get the Sniper Perk.
Before we continue, its worth noting that AimStability is what causes sway. The maximum it can be set to is 1 (no sway at all). All weapons start with a AimStability of 1, and when you attach a scope it adds a property that REDUCES the AimStability value (ca

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 621 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Does exactly what it says: tightens up weapon sway for steadier aiming.
- Lightweight and focused—no bloat, just the fix.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be compatible with newer game versions or mods.
- Only affects aim sway—if you're looking for broader aiming changes, this won't cover them.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter aiming mechanics or weapon behavior.
For players who find the default weapon sway too floaty and want a more stable aim without overhauling the whole aiming system. Skip if you want comprehensive aiming tweaks or are on a newer game version where compatibility is uncertain.
