📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,105 endorsements and over 88k downloads — clearly a must-have for cowboy builds.
  • Ties animations directly to the Cowboy Perk, so it only shows up when you're playing that style — no immersion breaking.
  • ESPless design means it won't clutter your load order and is easy to manage.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires kNVSE (a script extender) — if you're not already using it, you'll need to set that up first.
  • Animations are limited to the Cowboy Perk — if you don't use that perk, this mod does nothing for you.
  • Last updated in November 2024 — while recent, it may not be compatible with future game patches or other animation mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love cowboy-themed playthroughs and want to add stylish, immersive animations to their lever-action and revolver gameplay. Skip if you don't use the Cowboy Perk or prefer more general animation overhauls.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have kNVSE installed and properly configured before adding this mod — it's required for the animations to work.
  • Since it's ESPless, you can install it with a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex, but double-check that your mod manager supports ESPless plugins.
  • Test the animations with a character that has the Cowboy Perk to see them in action — you might need to adjust the settings to your liking.
