📋 About This Mod

About the Mod:

This mod replaces the default Player On-Foot camera as well as the vehicle bonnet and look back (optional) camera with a first person camera.

The mod uses the in game camera system and comes with several immersive and realistic camera effects as part of the On-Foot camera like recoil or shake effects when shooting with a gun or similar.

But unlike first person mods from previous or later Mafia game releases, this one doesn't use memory injection or scripts, making it very limited in the attempt of avoiding clipping issues or keeping the player with the camera direction. To avoid these clipping issues, the mod provides an additional "Hide entire player" option to hide the entire player while the player not aims. Also It's necessary to play with a normal FOV set in the game settings. The mod is not designed for super unnatural streched high FOV settings that adds more clipping then necessary.

You can choose between a On-Foot First Person camera only with/without player hide or including a vehicle driver side camera with/without vehicle look back camera & player hide on/off in the download. As well as the legacy middle vehicle camera. Weapons in the game now feature different recoil effects depending on the weapons you use.

The mod also works on the Mac version of the game.
