VR Handmade Reflex Sights

What this mod does

This mod replaces the glow and no-glow reflex sights for the pipe weapons (including pipe revolvers and syringe). As you've certainly noticed, the vanilla reflex sight uses 2 screws and you can't aim with it at all in VR. This mods extends the length of the scope and adds a third screw forward. Also, I've moved the glow dots slightly towards the player, so that they can't be seen from the front (you wouldn't want the enemy to see them in the dark).

Not really clear in the screenshots, but it looks perfectly vanilla (I even reused their screw).

Install through NMM. The installer doesn't automatically match the colors of the reflex sight with those of the iron sights, you have to choose one manually (if you want to). There is no option for "green green green" iron sights, because those are your basic vanilla ones.

The files should end up in your Data\Meshes\Weapons\HandMade\Scopes folder. No need to update the Plugins.txt file, since this is just a bunch of Vanilla nifs.

As with other VR mods, make sure that your Documents\My Games\Fallout4VR\Fallout4.ini file contains the following lines:

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

If you want to install manually, make sure to copy the contents of the "0 - Core non glowing" folder, then one (and only one) of the folders beginning with 1 (ex. ."1 - Glowing Reflex GRG").  Finally, you can match the iron sight glow colors by also copying the corresponding folder beginning with 2 (ex. "2 - Iron GRG").

When you aim, keep both eyes open. The "scope" should cover up the image of your left eye and you should be able to aim through your right eye. I've done my best to align the sights correctly, but remember that the game throws a lot of RNG into your bullets and handmade weapons have bad accuracy. Get this mod to help you:  MORE ACCURATE WEAPONS  . Also, if you test it with wall decals, those are not always perfectly aligned with the impact point. Practice on actual living targets, and aim for the center of mass. You might be able to score a headshot at 50m, but those are rare situations. If you miss, blame your aim, VR resolution and Fallout, not this mod.
