Automatically lower weapons - F4SE

Based on Paul Drake's automatic lowering weapon,

Your character stops pointing guns into the sky around the clock. Outside of combat, the weapon will automatically lower itself. What happens, it comes out again. that's all. This is pauderek's classic "auto-lower weapons", adapted into an F4SE plugin rather than a Papyrus script.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
