🎯 Tips & Tricks
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.
