✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 9,130 endorsements and 2.0M downloads — this is a must-have for many.
- Full coverage: every base game, DLC, and TTW weapon gets aligned, no gaps.
- Works with popular animation mods like B42 Optics and WAP, so you don't have to choose.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires you to pick an animation pack — if you don't use one, this mod may not do much for you.
- No explicit install instructions or compatibility notes beyond the listed supports.
- Only affects iron sights — if you're looking for new weapons or gameplay changes, this isn't it.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who use animation mods like WAP or B42 Optics and want their iron sights to line up perfectly. Also for TTW players who want consistent aiming across both games. Skip if you play vanilla or don't care about sight alignment.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the animation pack you want to use installed first, then load this mod after it in your mod manager.
- If you're using TTW, double-check that your load order places this mod correctly for both Fallout 3 and New Vegas content.
- Test in third person and first person to see the alignment fix — you'll notice the difference immediately.
