2x, 3x, 4x, 8x, or 16x range on the Scrapper perk object highlighting. Screenshots are of 16x (pretty ridiculous). Now supports Far Harbor!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 371 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Directly solves the annoyance of missing highlighted scrap from a distance.
- Pure QoL improvement—no bloat, just a range boost.
⚠️ Cons

- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Scrapper perk behavior or UI highlighting.
For Fallout 4 players who invest in the Scrapper perk and want to spot salvage materials from farther away without squinting. If you're a hoarder who loves looting every piece of adhesive and screws, this is a must-have. Skip if you never take the Scrapper perk or prefer gameplay overhauls.
