📋 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).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Inaccurate NPCs - ESPless - De-aimbotting the Wasteland is a lightweight gameplay mod for Fallout 4 that reduces NPC accuracy with three difficulty flavors: less accurate, much less accurate, and very much less accurate. It has 595 endorsements and over 66,000 downloads, last updated in January 2023.

✨ Key Features

Three accuracy reduction options: less accurate, much less accurate, and very much less accurate.
ESPless design, meaning it doesn't require a plugin file and is easier to manage.
Aims to remove the 'aimbot' feel from NPCs, making combat more forgiving.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
