Issues with RH Ironsights mod... or FOSE
I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with the Ironsights mod. I know it uses Fose but for whatever reason when I install Ironsights with Nexus the game crashes the instant I launch it.

I used to play with FOSE and Ironsights and it worked fine... now just the crash.

It's a great mod. Worked for me for a long time but I guess it's conflicting with something else I'm doing. The trickiest part is just running Fallout through FOSE and hoping FOSE works with whatever other mods you have.

Are you using a lot of mods in addtion to Ironsights? I recently re-installed FO3 and was thinking of using the Ironsights mod, but I'm also using other mods and I saw that Ironsights would need a compatiblity patch for it to work. Problem is, a lot of those old compatibilty patches that were made years ago are horribly out of date. That might be your issue; either another mod or the current version of FOSE itself is conflicting with the Ironsights mod.

I guess what I'd do is to first get BOSS if you haven't already to see if anything needs to be cleaned or re-ordered in your current mod list. If everything's cool, I'd then use FO3Edit to create a merged patch and stick that at the end of your mod list. Hopefully that merged patch would stop the crashes.

I think ironsights in this game would be better than that emaciated pseudo zoom feature vanilla FO3 gives you. Ironsighting an assault rifle at a raider would be so much better than holding right-mouse and sort of pointing at him, or squinting, or whatever the hell it's supposed to be.

Hell, they added ironsights to New Vegas and that was one of the best improvements to the combat in the series.

Right... FO3 feels so dated largely because of it's poor shooting mechanics. VATS is great but when you run out of AP you're boned.

Funny thing is that I don't actually miss my ironsights mod too much. I've found that I miss my Weapon Mod Kits mod more. I was able to make the combat shotgun fully automatic which made it easily the best close quarters weapon in the game. Now that I'm off FOSE I've found that the shotgun is probably the worst weapon in the game. Oh well.

In my current playthrough I'm using WMK and it's working pretty good. I'm early on so I've only found a few kits, but I've already added a scope to a rusted out hunting rifle. I love it when a mod lets you customize relatively crappy weapons with actually useful addons.

I'm also using the Wanderers Edition mod...just found an M1 Grand rifle and tore through a building full of super mutants with it. It's amazing how much some of these mods add to the game!

Also, if you're having mod trouble, make sure to use BOSS to check for any conflicts, and use FO3Edit to clean up the conflicts. When you've got a cleaned up final mod order list, try creating a merged patch with FO3Edit. Maybe all that will prevent some crashes and create harmony with all your mods.

I just found a version of Weapon Mod Kits that doesn't require FOSE! About to try it out.
