📋 About This Mod
I never really liked the default crosshair in Fallout: New Vegas. It can get in the way when I'm trying to see small items, and it can even make it hard to accurately shoot at distant enemies. I made this simple dot crosshair to replace the default one in my game, and I am sharing it in case anybody else would like to use it.
This works great with DarNifiedUI and MTUI, though DarNifiedUI may require some additional editing of the 'DUINVSETTINGS.xml' file to center the crosshair depending on your chosen HUD/crosshair scale.
Just drag and drop the data folder I've included into your New Vegas directory, and you're good to go!

- Due to a couple requests in the comments, I've provided a version that retains the vanilla crosshair brackets that show when you are interacting with something. See pictures if you don't know what I mean by "brackets".
Simple Dot Crosshair replaces the default crosshair with a simple dot. It is a minimal UI tweak for players who prefer a cleaner, less intrusive aiming reticle. With 414 endorsements and over 14,000 downloads, it has a modest following, though it hasn't been updated since 2017.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a dot.
- Solid track record: 414 endorsements and 14k downloads.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may not work with the latest game version.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind.

For players who find the default crosshair too bulky and want a clean, minimal dot. Perfect for FPS purists who prefer a distraction-free HUD. Skip if you need customizable crosshairs or are on a newer game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod is compatible with your game version before installing—it's from 2017.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the file structure to ensure it overwrites the correct crosshair file.
- Make a backup of your original crosshair file so you can revert if you don't like the dot.
