📋 About This Mod

A mod that attempts to make aiming a better experience.

I generally like using iron sights in most shooters, but I have always found it frustrating in New Vegas. It's generally much better now thanks to this mod and this mod, but I still find myself frustrated with the vanilla iron sights system. I know there is some other mods that add the same or similar features but nothing that works exactly the way I want it to, so this my is my attempt at it.

This mod does 2 main things to change how iron sights behave in game:

  • []It sets your sighted FOV to match your default world FOV. This means you won't automatically zoom in when using iron sights.

    []It allows you to focus while aiming by pressing a hotkey (works with both iron sights and scopes).

    Here is what happens when you focus your aim:

    • []Your sighted FOV will reduce causing you to zoom in. (Iron sights only)

      []Your weapon sway will reduce, making it easy to line up a shot.

      []Your action points will slowly drain (unless you are currently under the effect of Steady).

      The following features are customizable:

      • []Hotkey

        []Zoom values (separate values for 1 hand, 2 hand and heavy weapons)

        []Zoom in speed

        []AP drain

        []Weapon sway reduction

        []If you must meet the Skill and/or the Strength requirement for the weapon

        []If steadiness scales with Agility

        []If zoom level scales with Perception

        All customization is done via the MCM under Iron Sigh Focus (Requires MCM Extender) or by editing this file: config\IronSightFocus.ini

        Here is a quick demonstration of what the mod looks like in action

        6O95_Qtl6BQ

        Additional notes:

        • []The default hotkey is Left Shift for keyboard and it's LB for controller.

          []You can't focus if your head or either arm is crippled (unless you take a drug that causes the ignore crippled limbs effect)

          []Compatible with B42 Optics

          []Compatible with Toggled Aiming (and should work with any other mod that adds the same feature)

          []The hotkey is disabled while the B42 Optics and/or ISControl editors are active

          []Has built in support for Keybind Quick Display (version 2. 0 or newer)

          []Changing the FOV using FOV slider should work seamlessly

          []Compatible with Enhanced FOV, just be sure to follow the instructions in the pinned comment.

          []In addition to the requirements listed above, I also highly recommend Consistent Spread

          []Some guns look bad with their sighted FOV removed. This can be fixed by adjusting the weapon using ISControl Enabler

          The following events are triggered via DispatchEventAlt
