📋 About This Mod
Fixes the position of the True Directional Movement target reticle on some creatures where the default location causes issues, such as the Bristleback.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,569 endorsements and 2.6M downloads — clearly a fix people needed.
- Targets a specific annoyance (reticle misalignment on certain creatures) without overhauling anything else.
- Simple, focused patch that does exactly what it says — no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses reticle position on a few creatures — if you don't fight Bristlebacks often, you might not notice a difference.
- Requires True Directional Movement as a dependency, so it's useless without that mod installed.
- Last updated in September 2024 — may not be updated for future Skyrim or TDM versions, though it's likely still functional.
For Skyrim players who use True Directional Movement and are tired of the reticle floating off-target when fighting creatures like Bristlebacks. If you're a TDM user who values precise aiming, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use TDM or don't care about reticle placement.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after True Directional Movement and let your mod manager overwrite any conflicting files.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, deploy the mod and check that it loads after TDM in your load order.
- Test the reticle on a Bristleback to see the fix in action — if it's still off, ensure you have the latest TDM version.
