📋 About This Mod

I love weapon mods. Easily my favorite part of Fallout 4 modding. Unfortunately, many of the weapon mods out there are overpowered, often don't match vanilla's ADS zoom effect when using iron sights, and sometimes have misaligned iron sights. I've spent my 200hr playthrough tweaking several of my favorite modded weapons to either balance them, fix their iron sights, or remove/turn down their firing sounds when they're too loud. They're marked as ESL.

Enjoy. Optional versions adjust damage to be more in line with vanilla.
