📋 About This Mod
This mod requires NVSE, which is still a Beta. (Disclaimer requested by behippo.)
This mod makes aiming more realistic by introducing a slight tremble while aiming, in both 1st person and 3rd person.
As your character grows tired and malnourished, is using a heavy weapon, and/or has a low weapons skill, the effect worsens.
You\'ll have a much better sense of aiming, rather than only seeing your whole upper body gyrate. Although there won\'t be a large difference with hitting something at close/medium range, the visuals are much more natural feeling. Once you grow accustomed to the effect, this will likely become a must-have mod.
By using The Mod Configuration Menu, the following settings can be changed:
