📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes some of the worst collision meshes in the game!
Collision mesh is a mesh that you normally don't see in the game. It's used to simulate where bullets, bodies and other stuff can colide with the object.
For example,
- In vanilla game, you couldn't shoot between planks on the fence or metal beams on goodsprings water tank. Now you can!
- NCRCF towers are pain in the a** because railings on them were impenetrable, so you had a low chance of hitting something. Fixed!
- You can shoot through most car's windows.
- Ability to jump on the back of a truck.
- You can place items on chairs couches.
- And much more!
