Ignore anything I've said previously about never working on this mod again. Look for an update sometime in 2025.

  RH_IronSights is a comprehensive mesh, texture, and animation replacement package meant to "unlock" iron sights aiming in Fallout 3.

  Being able to look directly down the sights of a gun in-game is very immersive.  Unfortunately, though Bethesda put the framework for an iron sights system in place, it wasn't included in the final game.  So Fallout 3 players miss out on this traditional FPS gameplay mechanic.

  The aim of RH_IronSights (forgive the pun) is to adjust the .nif mesh of every vanilla weapon and the .kf file of every animation necessary to allow true, perfectly centered iron sights.

  This is a difficult process, and the result causes a few conflicts.  It is recommended that you have at least an average degree of game modding experience if you want to run RH_IronSights alongside other major weapon mods.
