📋 About This Mod

After trying out the great great 'Much Better 3rd Person Animation Tactics', I really need a proper camera mod to go with it, so I went to town! That mod is not strictly required, but just heavily recommended

The mod features an empty ESP that has an .ini attached with 60 lines of ini tweaks. Many are overhauls and some of them are slightly improved vanilla settings, resulting in a big impact on responsiveness and giving the game a more modern feel.

Save to add or remove anytime! Just plug and play!

Barber and Surgeon Camera Fix

I recommend setting fDefaultWorldFOV=80 in Fallout.ini, vanilla is 70.

Known bugs:

The melee cam can sometimes rarely get lowered when unholstered, just unholster and reholster to fix. No fix, vanilla bug I think

The changes in the ini file are also listed below:

   //Change the various fOverShoulder-Pos if wanting to move camera,

//more positive X equals moving to the right, more positive Z means moving camera up

fVanityModeMinDist and f3rdPersonAimFOV and f3rdPersonAimDist changes how much you zoom in when aiming weapons.
