📋 About This Mod
They aren’t crackshots anymore!
3 options, depending on how often you want them to miss. Applies to all NPCs.
This doesn’t automatically make NPCs terrible at aiming. It just increases their threshold to miss, depending on their skill. You may find high-level/high-skill NPCs still plinking you in the dome.
No plugin. Requires IStewieAI's Tweaks and Engine Fixes.
Directly inspired by Less Accurate NPCs (noice).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 595 endorsements and over 66k downloads, so it's proven popular.
- ESPless means no plugin slot usage, which is great for load order management.
- Three difficulty flavors let you dial in exactly how much you want to nerf enemy aim.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or next-gen patches.
- Only affects accuracy, not other combat behaviors, so it's a narrow fix.
For Fallout 4 players who find enemy gunplay too punishing and want a more casual or cinematic experience. Also great for those who want to tweak difficulty without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive combat overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager; no plugin load order worries.
- Start with the 'less accurate' version to see if it feels right, then bump up if needed.
- If you're on PC, make sure your game is updated to a version compatible with mods from early 2023.
