📋 About This Mod

Warning: Simulating first person in third person games perfectly is impossible, you must expect some degree of clunkiness or problems. This mod may cause other visual bugs that are not fixable, such as certain entitles (NPCs, items, or some shadows) becoming invisible. This mod is best used for cinematic experiences & role-playing.

Every mod I make is free & always will be but I use tools that costs money to create my mods, which means I lose money to deliver this content. Please donate if you wish to help me out.
