📋 About This Mod

Modernized 1st Person Experience

For MWSE

Description & Features

This mod adds a bunch of procedural camera animations to modernize the 1st person experience in the game. It also has some stuff for 3rd person, as a bonus on top 😊

The mod features (all highly customizable):

  • []Dynamic head bobbing with eye stabilization in 1st and 3rd person, with different feel for walking, running, swimming etc.[/]

    []Head bobbing syncs to movement speed with a decaying curve (never gets too much).[/]

    []Syncs footstep audio with the head bobbing motion. This is fully compatible with other mods (like Character Sound Overhaul).[/]

    []Dynamic camera feedback on both jumping and landing.[/]

    []Smooth camera transitions when entering and exiting sneaking for both 1st and 3rd person (3rd person camera also moves now!)[/]

    []Fully adjustable sneak camera height from within MCM (no need for other mods that lower the sneak camera)[/]

    []Subtle movement to the camera at all times[/]

    []View rolling.[/]

    []Body inertia.[/]

    []Peek around corners in both 1st and 3rd person. Default keys are 'C' and 'V' (rebindable). If you are behind the corner, enemies won't see you when you peek out at them.[/]

    []Subtle step rotation where the camera rolls slightly with every step, with some noise added in to make it feel organic.[/]

    • []NEW: Interop functionality that makes it easy for other mods to add camera motion or camera shake that blends seamlessly with all the above behaviors.[/]

      []NEW: Handles situations far away from origin (read Skyrim and Cyrodiil) much better. Because of float precision loss far away from origin, any movement on camera or objects generate jitter that far away, now the mod shuts down the worst offenders when getting too far away from origin. Fully customizable in MCM.[/]

      Everything is tweakable, and you can easi
