📋 About This Mod
New update version 1. 1, simply copied the vanilla references as independent, in order to avoid future conflicting. Also followed the suggestion I received to added an extra condition from "simple bug fixes" to make this effect forced close in dialogue camera. (however I wonder would you speak to others while aiming at them with scope?) Please report back if there's any more issue. Thanks again.
Speaking to Kellogg with "scope attached" Target HUD on. I think we are bug free, aren't we?
Motivation:
Loving the Targeting HUD, but feeling dull after awhile, since there's no more surprises in the commonwealth? Stop using the Targeting HUD, but feel like deaf and blind? Well, A little bit of restriction might be able to help you out for the balance in between.
Now the Targeting HUD was attached to every NV/Recon SCOPE (FOR FREE~~~), however aiming through a NV/Recon scope is required to activate the SCOPE attached Targeting HUD.
The original Targeting HUD on power armor was left untouched, you can still use it 7/24 as vanilla settings for extreme situation, or if you prefer playing that way. Still, this mod provides you some benefits when you are not in a power armor.
Description
I am appreciated of the amazing mod "Customizable Targeting HUD" by C4P0N3, and this mod simply adapted this function into EVERY night-vision and recon scope.
The glowing effect will last 1 or 2 sec after leaving the scope sight, this was not intended, but better than always detecting everyone near by.
Requirement: No.
Recommendation:
Customized Targeting HUD (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4314/?) is recommended for people wanna know your friend/foe.
Q&A:
Q: CTH requires a targeting hud modification on power armor helmet, does this SCOPE requires wearing a PA?
A: NO. What you need is only a night-vision / recon scope on your weapon.

With 392 endorsements and 6,155 downloads, it has a modest but dedicated following, last updated in 2015.
