Description:

I hate how your character is always pointing his gun foward 100% of the time in First Person, it's not immersive. Now your character will have their guns downed when not firing it. It's a simple animation sweep, for now...

Feel free to comment any suggeestions/bugs

Guys Please, don't ask for a delay or a button for lowering weapons, not possible yet.

I'm trying to improve the mod without CK and i have to confess, it is really hard! But i can do everything you want in minutes after the CK release :)

  • ------------------------------------------------
  • Plans:
    • []Add a delay before lowering your weapon after shooting.
    • []Add a Button to manual lower your weapon
    • []Stay with your weapon up 100% of the time during combat
  • ------------------------------------------------
  • Changelog:
  • []1. 1
Now working with Power Armors. ------------------------------------------------- Tip:

I Suggest you to disable the aim zoom for a better experience! You don't have cyborg eyes to zoom while using the Iron Sights.

Open fallout4.ini and add this after everything:

f1rdPersonAimFOV=XX. 0000 f3rdPersonAimFOV=XX. 0000

Where XX is your current FOV.

-------------------------------------------------

MANUAL INSTALLATION

1) - Extract the meshes folder to the fallout 4 data folder: ..\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data

2) To have the game read loose files you need to change a line in the Fallout4.ini  (You don't need to do this step if you already done so with another animation mod) - Located here: ...\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 - Find this line: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ - add "MESHES\" to the end of the line, something like this: sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, MESHES\

i suggest you to change "fallout4.ini" to Read Only as the games refreshes this file often.
