Sneak Beneath
a Stand Alone add-on for Modernized 1st Person Experience (MWSE) v1. 6 and later
The smooth camera motion above comes from Modernized 1st Person Experience
Description & Features
This mod is a stand alone add-on for Modernized 1st Person Experience (v1. 6 and later). This means it works with or without that mod, but with it installed, you will get a few extras (explained below).
The mod features:
-
[]You can now sneak beneath anything that feels intuitive that you should be able to crawl under while sneaking.[/]
[]Collider size depends on the camera height (lower sneak camera means sneak under lower things).[/]
[]Checks so that you don't get stuck when you stand up (with a message for feedback when doing so).[/]
[]Choose between 1st person or 3rd person message when there is too little space to stand up.[/]
[]Saves if you are sneaking. Sneak when you save, now you sneak when you load as well[/]
-
[]The size of your collider mimics the smooth camera movement when entering and exiting sneaking.[/]
[]A small animation feedback when trying to stand up when there is not enough space.[/]
[]Fully customizable sneak camera height in MCM in Modernized 1st Person mod will automatically work with this mod.[/]
Includes a Mod Configuratio Menu (MCM) to finetune the experience.
The mod concentrates on 1st person. In 3rd person view, you can not sneak under things. This is because I have to scale the character, and to not make it look weird, I chose to scale them back to 100% when in 3rd person. Switching to 3rd person camera when sneaking will be blocked in the same way as standing up if there is not enough space for your character to stand up.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a long-standing annoyance in first-person sneaking.
- Active development (updated August 2025).
- Standalone, so no dependency on other mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Small userbase (62 endorsements) — niche appeal.
- Requires MWSE, so not for OpenMW players.
For Morrowind players who play in first person and want more immersive sneaking mechanics. If you're tired of bumping into low ceilings or want to slip under gaps, this is for you. Skip if you play in third person or use OpenMW.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MWSE installed and updated to the latest version.
- If you use Modernized 1st Person Experience, this mod will integrate with it, but it works standalone.
- Test in a small area with low obstacles to get a feel for the crawl mechanic.
