See my below post on how I managed to tighten it up, TLDR you have to edit it yourself. I haven't yet received permission from the mod author to post a modified file.
I've seen some people talking about how this mod makes the rest of the UI tiny. I too wanted something more vanilla with this crosshair, so here's what I managed:
Have just the crosshair, without all the extra modifications to the UI
I also use Simplified Sorting nowadays so I wanted this to work with it too - if you use a different sorting mod that changes the UI, you should be able to get a similar result, but of course YMMV
I don't actually use DEF_UI, so I got it to work without it, sort of
Download and extract DEF_UI: needed for DEF_HUD.xml - this is what I mean by "sort of" not needing DEF_UI, you don't have to install the mod but you need at least this file
Run HUDMenuSet.exe, this is optional but I used it just to scale down the crosshair. It's a great tool! Once you're done, save your xml with Ctrl+S
Download and extract this mod (Modern crossHair - 3rd person aim)
Place the DEF_HUD.xml you got from HUDMenuSet.exe in Interface\DEF_CONF, override the existing file
Edit Interface\FallUI HUD\Importable HUD Layouts\modernCrossHair-v200.ini - remove all the lines except for sLayoutGlobalSettings and all the sCenterGroup_mc__ lines, btw I also removed the sCenterGroup_mc__RolloverWidget_mc line as I don't need that changed
Install your modified mod, I just compressed it back into an archive and used Vortex to install it, but you could also directly edit the installed mod, probably riskier that way (but you can always redownload)
My mod precedence rules in Vortex are: HudFramework → Simplified Sorting → Modern crossHair
That's all! I can provide a zip if needed, share it with cyberArkhi or repost if approved/preferred.
BTW! This still shows the crosshair when holstered, but you can probably change that in Hud Framework. It doesn't bother me.
I love this, I'm using it with the paid version of Toouns ammoui/Ammoui FUI preset and it works great. Anyone know how to get it to play nice with other hud elements? I'm trying to use it with Rechargeable shields and it crashes as soon as I equip a shield, I suspect cause the shield adds significant new hud elements.

my crosshair its in 644 / shapes
There's a 644 under images but that looks like a hit marker?
Also is it possible to make the crosshair show even when NOT aiming? I'd prefer to have it showing all the time
