Smart selection

Better object interaction

Look at it. Select it.

What this mod does: Fallout 4 usually requires you to place your crosshair directly over an object before you can interact with it.

Smart choices make interactions more forgiving. Just look roughly at an object and the mod will decide which one you'd most like to interact with. This is especially useful for players who turn off crosshairs for immersion, as precise vanilla selection can be frustrating.

Intelligent selection supports both first-person and third-person perspectives.

feature

Tolerant object selection

When interacting with an object, do not place the crosshair directly over the object.

Smart aiming

Nearby targets are evaluated by distance, viewing angle, visibility, object type, numerical values, and native Fallout 4 options.

Configurable target type

Select objects that smart selection can target, including objects, activators, furniture, and NPCs.

First person and third person: configure the selection behavior for the two perspectives respectively.

Target loops when multiple valid options are available

Loops between multiple nearby targets.

Optional contour highlighting

Clearly displays the currently selected target, especially suitable when there is no crosshair.

Object highlighting

Selected objects have optional customizable outline highlighting.

Adjust width, opacity and color via MCM.

Available colors include HUD color, red, gold, green, white, blue and pink.

HUD colors will automatically follow your currently configured Fallout 4 HUD colors.

Customize

Configure first person, third person, target looping, selection behavior, and highlighting directly through the MCM.
