SE - Improved Camera SE

Improved Camera is an SKSE plug-in that supports first-person bodies and allows typical forced third-person animations to play in first-person as well.

describe

Improved Camera SE adds a first-person body through the use of the SKSE plug-in, and adds a first-person perspective to various animations that are usually forced into third person, such as crafting, horse riding, werewolves, vampire lords, dragon riders, and theoretically anywhere in the game third person is usually forced. It includes a GUI to configure all camera settings, events and FOV settings.

Compatibility of the mod is a work in progress, but a collection of patches can be found here. Some famous mods that are very effective are:

Immersive Interaction features a lot of excellent, um, immersive interaction with the world around you, now working in first person! *Note that you must check the mandatory third-person mode in the immersive interactive MCM, and uncheck it to return to the first-person mode.

Hidden behavior extending past monitor 144 Hz is partially incompatible at the moment; the camera will stay in natural first person when crawling, I've made the author aware of it, and it will (most likely) be fixed at his discretion.

Physics, either from DoD CBPC, or HDT-SMP will be shown in first person. *Note you need to set false in the configs.xml that requires using faster HDT-SMP in order for these physics to work. Personally, I'd recommend keeping it false, as you might run into weird physics issues when using certain mods, or when switching from first to third gear.

CFPAO If you use this mode, you need to check the GUI for compatibility patches.

This list is not extensive and only shows a small selection of the modules that may or may not be available with the improved camera. The fun is in the experimentation!

Mod Author Notes *If your mod is reported as incompatible, it is most likely due to improper use of forcethirdperson and forcefirstperson. If you want to increase compatibility, we recommend taking a look at the existing patches here.

F.Ah q

Q: How to open the menu?

Answer: shift + go home

Q: Where are the presets stored?

Answer:data\skse\Plugins\improved camera\Profiles\

Q: I can't change the FOV; it keeps resetting, help.

A: Open the GUI, change your FOV there, and make sure to also change the event horizon to match.

Q: How do I edit keybindings to open menus?

Answer: Locate data\skse\plugins\improved camerase\improved camerase.ini by opening ImprovedCameraSE.ini *Note that the key modifier is always shift, replacing MenuKey=0x24 only changes the key that activates the menu, shift still requires holding the key code

Q: Why are my movements and camera so shaky?

Answer: You have enabled head shaking in the GUI, but not enabled smooth animation transitions. *Note that this will add a bit of "lag" or inertia to your movement.

Q: Why is there no shadow on my arm when it is not gloved?

A: Current DoD restrictions; this will (potentially) be investigated in the future.

Q: The lighting is different at certain camera angles, or my camera is clipping onto my armor.

A: Current DoD restrictions; this will (potentially) be investigated in the future. Use the GUI to change the distance to help with this.

Q: My game crashes with the improved camera; why aren't you responding? ! ? ! ?

A: Follow the bug reporting …
