📋 About This Mod
Precision Placement This mod requires FO4 Hotkeys to work. Endorse it while you're there! WHAT IS IT: Essentially this is like Jaxon's Positioner for Skyrim. It uses Registrator2000's FO4 Hotkeys mod and allows you to re-position objects using your NUMPAD keys while in-game. It also allows you to move settlement objects in to the "red". Unlike other placement mods, this mod does not need any script extenders or cheat engines to work. It can be used to fine tune your settlement objects, "unstick" NPCs, and can even be used to re-position objects outside of your settlements (though this is not advised). It's extremely lightweight, very compatible since there is no plugins required, and even comes with reset options if you ever need to move something back.
UPDATE: 30/12/2016 - Changed main file to utilise Registrator2000's merge utility rather than manually patching. Updated installation instructions on page.

MANUAL: Download my mod and extract wherever you'd like. Open the "Hotkeys.ini" included in the mod archive with a text editor of any sort. Naviagte to your games data folder and find the existing Hotkeys.ini, and simply copy and paste the text from my mods ini to your games ini underneath .
KEY MAPPING AND INSTRUCTIONS: Moving objects is easy. While in-game, simply look at an object (so your crosshairs are over it) and press 5 (on the numpad) to select it. The object
