For Skyrim players who are bothered by hand clipping in first-person view and want a targeted fix without heavy mods. If you use many custom weapons, this mod is a must-have to keep your viewmodel clean. Skip if you rarely notice clipping or prefer all-in-one overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use your mod manager – no plugin load order worries.
- Test each weapon individually in first-person to find the optimal clip distance – start with a small value and adjust until clipping disappears.
- If you use a mod manager like MO2, enable the mod and run FNIS or Nemesis if required by other animation mods, but this mod itself doesn't need it.
