📋 About This Mod
This mod is a replacer that changes the reticle texture used for the Laser Rifle's scope mod, the Red Glare's scope, the Holorifle's scope, and the Codac R9000 camera. The new scope reticle is less crowded and much less circular.
It also looks far less silly.
This mod is free of plugins (no .esp).
REQUIREMENTS
It doesn't require anything but the base game.
KNOWN ISSUES
None. Please report any bugs in the comments.
CONFLICTS

Special thanks to the reddit user that helped me get this texture file exported properly.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Niche but appreciated by the community (127 endorsements)
- Touches multiple weapons in one go—good value for a texture mod
- Lightweight and focused, no gameplay changes to worry about
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're going in blind on the new look
- Only affects the reticle texture, so if you wanted a full scope overhaul, this isn't it
For Fallout: New Vegas players who use scoped laser weapons and want a fresh reticle without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you don't use these specific weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the game's ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated enabled, or the new textures might not show up.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or FOMM, install this mod through it to avoid file conflicts.
- Check if you have other reticle mods installed—this one will overwrite them, so load order matters.
