📋 About This Mod
Mini update - Users maxxdaemon and Dadinjo have confirmed that Xpadder will work with the mod. This should be great news for people who like to use controllers. :)
I assume Ds4Windows should work as well, and probably Dualsense controllers have something that makes them look like XBox controllers nowadays.
Description
===========
Allows you to set a Hotkey that you Hold or Toggle to reduce your mouse sensitivity for accurate shots. Both scoped weapons and iron sight weapons work for this and have separate settings.
This mod is based off of cmal's Precise Aim mod for Fallout 3 http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/7450
I got tired of just dealing with the game's aim system, which did NOT reduce mouse sensitivity when you zoom. So, after hours and hours of searching, then hours and hours of waiting, and hours and hours of porting, and about an hour of testing and tinkering, I had basically finished this mod.
But there was more to do. Over time, I added the Hold functionality for the hotkey, the varmint rifle fix(scoped vs unscoped) and after literally 5 years, an MCM which was requested ages ago, and I simply did not have the skills to pull off.
This mod is still functionally equivalent to the original Precise Aim mod, but now with far more options and and much more usability in addition to its simplicity.
Using MCM, you'll get a menu called Zoom Assist, which will allow you to customize your Hotkey and the individual Iron Sight and Scoped settings.
Hold your assigned Hotkey(Default is X), and it will enable the effect, release it and it will disable the effect immediately, no need to de-zoom.
There is also a Toggle mode. In-game press the hotkey and the mod will be enabled until you press it again. Useful when using a controller.
I'm hoping everyone sees why this functionality is so necessary. Test it out, and you'll immediately feel the difference.

Recommendations
===============
lStewieAl's Tweaks - for a huge number of convenient new settings and and such, especially separate vertical sensitivity.
Just Assorted Mods - especially for Just Hold Breath which is included in the mod. I use it with this mod, set to the same hotkey, for AP drain and scope wobble removal.
fixed scripting issues and ini settings
added support for LStewieAl's tweaks
fixed all MCM menu settings and visibility
Fixed Varmint Rifle issues and made an MCM

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 650 endorsements and over 22k downloads.
- Gives you precise control over sensitivity for scoped aiming.
- Hotkey support means you can switch between hold and toggle to match your playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires MCM (Mod Configuration Menu) — if you don't have it, you'll need to grab that first.
- No detailed instructions in the description — you'll need to figure out the MCM setup yourself.
- Last updated in April 2024 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For players who find default sensitivity changes when aiming annoying and want fine-tuned control. If you're a sniper or use scopes often, this is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with vanilla aiming or don't use scopes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MCM installed and enabled before loading this mod.
- In the MCM menu, test different sensitivity values in a safe area to find what feels right.
- If you use a controller, check if the hotkey works for your setup — it's primarily for keyboard/mouse.
