📋 About This Mod

When your weapon is holstered, the camera will center on your character. When your weapon is not holstered, your crosshair will go to my custom settings for better combat and looting. This will also unlock how far your vanity camera can zoom out and how close it can zoom in.

Installation

If you already have a Fallout76Custom.ini, copy and paste the following at the end of your entries:

  • fPitchZoomOutMaxDist=0. 0000

    fVanityModeMaxDist=1000. 0000

    fVanityModeMinDist=50. 0000

    f3rdPersonAimDist=40. 0000

    f3rdPersonAimFOV=70. 0000

    fOverShoulderMeleeCombatAddY=0. 0000

    fOverShoulderMeleeCombatPosZ=5. 0000

    fOverShoulderMeleeCombatPosX=40. 0000

    fOverShoulderCombatAddY=0. 0000

    fOverShoulderCombatPosZ=5. 0000

    fOverShoulderCombatPosX=40. 0000

    fOverShoulderPosZ=5. 0000

    fOverShoulderPosX=0. 0000

    fMinCurrentZoom=0. 0000

    bApplyCameraNodeAnimations=0

The crossed out lines were broken by the Nuclear Winter Patch 10! Under investigation...

If you do not have a Fallout76Custom.ini, download my file and extract the Fallout76Custom.ini to:

Documents\My Games\Fallout 76 folder

Some of these values can be tweaked to your personal preference, but do so at your own risk. Changes in the wrong entry can throw off other settings, making for a bad experience. Also, power armor is close to the right shoulder when sneaking and zoomed in. The old pa offset entry from Fallout 4 is not working with this game. Let me know if you discover what the new entry is so I can update my file and description. For now, go 1st person when sneaking with power armor or raise the fOverShoulderMeleeCombatPosX and fOverShoulderCombatPosX by 5 or 10. Changing this will affect the non-pa camera position, as well.

If you don't want the zoom-out/in entries, just delete these lines:

fPitchZoomOutMaxDist=0. 0000

fVanityModeMaxDist=1000. 0000

fVanityModeMinDist=50. 0000
