📋 About This Mod

THIS WAS MADE AT A PLAYER/VIEWMODEL/WEAPON FOV of 75 (the one that controls how close your gun is to the screen), ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEEING STUFF YOU SHOULDN'T AT OTHER FOV VALUES WILL BE IGNORED. USE ENHANCED FOV TO CHANGE IT IN GAME.

Requirements:

Any of the AK mods listed below as compatible

ISControl Enabler

Stewie's Tweaks (turn on partial reloads in the INI file)

B42 Inspect and Ammo Check

Empty Clicks - Improved Dry Fire (turn on the animation in 1st person to see the dry fire)

This overhaul supports most of the AK-style rifle mods on the Nexus, and probably most of the future ones, if they use Millenia's AK, Heffy's AK, or the AK-100 mods or nodes as a base. Should be mostly plug-n-play. You may have to add new mods or lesser-known ones to the .json yourself if you want those supported as well. Inspect and ammo check animations for B42 Inspect and Ammo Check are included for the Reload E,I, and M slots. Too lazy to include EDIDs for the hundreds of form ids for all of these different mods, sorry.

As a general rule, weapon modifications that add Drum Magazines or Dual/Taped magazines are not supported. May change in the future, but as for now they are not. An animation patch for the taped magazines in the Elysium AK mod is here, it should work along with these animations just fine.

Here are a few notable supported mods:

Heffy's AR15s and AKs

Heffy's AR15s and AKs - REMAKE (for whatever reason, the author moved the sighting node a bit closer so there is a tiny bit of camera clipping during ADS fire and hipfire with the PSO (can't fix this one, sorry), install FOV Slider and turn Near Clipping from default 5 to 4 if the ADS fire clipping bothers you. Alternatively, you can use ISControlEnabler to fix the Sighting nodes on the ones you use if that's your jam. There's an optional to put the regular ADS fires back for you folks.)

Another Millenia, Weapons of the New Millenia, all the Millenia compilations, etc. as long as they didn't make sweeping changes to the nifs that would stop the anims from playing correctly, your mileage may vary though.

Millenia's AK74, AKS74U

Elysium AK #1

Elysium AK#2

AK74M - Minor clipping on the magazines

MWR2 AK47 -  Minor Clipping on the magazine as well

Any Current or Future mods that use the nifs in these mods as a
