📋 About This Mod

This mod requires NVSE, which is currently in Beta. You may need to updated NVSE at some future date.
This mod allows the player to run/walk faster when looking farther away, also affecting nearby teammates. The distance is determined by what is being pointed at with the crosshair. The benefit to such a system is that you can move faster in open areas without being too fast in close quarters. When running to an object, you will smoothly decrease speed as you approach. New to version 1. 17 is a more refined speed transition system; you can now change the time it takes to slow down and/or speed up for walking and/or running. You can also change the min/max speed settings for indoors and outdoors separately. By using The Mod Configuration Menu, many options can be changed to suit your personal tastes.

  • []New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE) 2. 0 beta 5 or higher []The Mod Configuration Menu (Only required for menu; not required to run the mod.)
