Grab 'n' Rotate NVSE

Inspired by Better Grabbing in Skyrim, items can now be placed with more precision. DLL.

What This Does

Gives you full control over grabbed objects. Rotate them, move them around, push and pull them - all without the vanilla springy wobble that makes precise placement impossible.

When you grab something, the physics are temporarily tuned so the object follows your input directly instead of bouncing around like it's on a rubber band. You can toggle collision on/off while holding. When you let go, everything goes back to normal.

You can also lock items in place so they stay exactly where you put them, unaffected by physics or explosions. Locked items can still be grabbed again to reposition or unlock.

Controls

Mouse:

• []Hold LMB + move mouse - Rotate object (pitch and roll)

  []Hold MMB + move mouse - Slide object left/right and up/down

  []Hold RMB + move mouse - Push object away / pull it closer

  Controller:

  • []Hold LT + stick - Rotate object

    []Hold RT + stick - Slide object horizontally/vertically

    []Hold LB + stick - Push/pull object

    []X - Toggle lock (item stays in place when released)

    []Y - Toggle collision on/off

    Keyboard:

    • []Arrow keys - Rotate the object

      []Numpad - Toggle lock (item stays in place when released)

      []Numpad - - Toggle collision on/off

      NOTE: while you're moving a grabbed object, other controls (attack, aim, etc.) are temporarily disabled so your inputs don't do something unintended. Movement still works so you can walk around while holding things.

      Configuration

      Edit Data\config\grabrotate_nvse.ini to change:

      • []Keyboard bindings (uses DirectX scancodes)

        []Controller deadzone and sensitivity

        []Rotation speed and translation sensitivity

        []Physics tuning if you want to tweak how objects behave

      • Enable/disable the locking feature

        Compatibility

        Should work with anything. The mod only does its thing while you're actively holding an object and restores all original values when you let go.

        Obviously won't work with other grabbing/pushing mods.
