Third Person First Person Melee

What?

Allows you to switch from third to first person while aiming(optional for melee weapons too) and switches you back, when you release the aim button. It's also known from the Metal Gear Solid series.

I love to play in third person, but I play without crosshair and this is a big issue, when you play in third person.

And because of the recently released mod: Classic Holstered Weapons System by shavkacagarikia

Yes, this mod features a MCM.

  • []Switch when weapon is drawn - Only switch to first person, when your weapon is drawn. Only switch to first person, when your weapon is drawn.

Requirements:

F4SE: 0. 6. 16+

Game version: 1. 10. 130+

Installation:

Drop the content from the zip file to your Data Folder.

Compatibility:

Not compatible with Reload Fix

There are some issues with Bullet Counted Reload System (BCR)

Sometimes it works, sometimes, when you reload your shotgun and exit First Person or Third Person, while reloading, the reload can get stuck. If it gets stuck, shoot once and it will work again. A workaround is to only reload in first person or third person and prevent switches while reloading. This bug is caused by BCR.

FAQ:

Q: There is a mod, that already does that?

A: Yes, but it's very old, buggy and quite script heavy. This version has no impact at all and works way better.

Configurable Artillery

Configurable Artillery allows you to control several settings of the artillery. In addition to that, it features an optimised script for faster shooting artillery. The rate of fire, spread, range and more can be easily adjusted with MCM.

  • If you use a mod manager, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
