🎯 Tips & Tricks
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.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 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.
