📋 About This Mod
Scriptrunner which adds a smooth, physically simulated depth-of-field effect when aiming down the sights.
This is only enabled in first-person. It is implemented completely differently to something like DYNAVISION 3 which should result in better performance, smooth transitions, and an actually physically simulated version of depth-of-field (but do note that the depth of field shader is not at all physical).
Optionally, there is also depth-of-field when reloading.

Depth of Field Fix
- Uses an unused IMOD from the vanilla game (HiddenValleyISM). If uninstalling the mod after an auto-save it may stay enabled (but does nothing. This is the only IMOD in the base game which has no effect).

With 707 endorsements and 243,321 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking more immersive aiming visuals.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (243k) shows it's a must-try for immersion fans.
- ESPless means no plugin slot, so it's lighter on your load order.
- Physically simulated DoF feels more natural than static blur effects.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches.

For players who want a more cinematic feel when aiming down sights, especially those who enjoy immersive gunplay. Skip if you prefer a clean, sharp view while aiming or if you're not into script-based mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the required scriptrunner installed and up to date, as this mod depends on it.
- Test the effect in third-person and first-person to see if the depth-of-field intensity suits your preference.
- If you experience performance drops, check if the mod has an MCM or config file to adjust the effect strength.
