Third person only VATS animation (updated)

V.A.T.S will always be performed in third person, regardless of distance from the target or equipped weapon. It also includes a holotape that allows you to adjust the V.A.T.S settings, the type of camera it will play on, and its orientation (right, left, or both).

Mod Configuration Menu (MCM, optional):

Updated on August 4th:

Version 2.3.0

Added the option to independently control the direction and camera of heavy weapon types (missile launchers, fatboys, etc.). This change was made because some camera settings and orientation behaviors used for small weapons did not apply to heavy weapons.

This is a simple mod that disables the first person camera in V.A.T.S. It also includes a holotape that allows you to adjust the V.A.T.S settings, the type of camera it will play on, and its orientation (right, left, or both).

How to get the holotape?

Once the game loads, you will receive the holotape. If the holotape is lost or not received, you can craft it at any Chemistry Station.

All V.A.T.S. cameras will be in third person

This includes:

Single shot (light and heavy weapons)

Weapon reloading (light and heavy weapons)

Disability (light and heavy weapons)

Critical Hit (Small and Heavy Weapons)

Settings included in the holotape

Camera Selection: You can select all types of cameras and achieve similar effects to the original V.A.T.S, except that it now randomly alternates between left and right directions. You can also choose one or more types of cameras based on your preference.

Camera direction: You can choose between right, left, or both. This will affect all camera playback in V.A.T.S.

Range and Melee: Melee and ranged cameras are divided into 2 different sets of options. Melee and ranged have separate camera types and their direction configurations.
