✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 733 endorsements and over 30k downloads
- One mod covers 19 different camera states, so you get a unified third-person experience
- No extra dependencies—just drop the .pak file into your MODS folder
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects camera feel—no new features or gameplay changes
- Requires manual installation and deleting/renaming DISABLEMODS.TXT, which might trip up newcomers
- Last updated January 2025—may need checking for future game patches
For No Man's Sky players who spend time in third-person and find the default camera jittery or inconsistent across actions. If you're a builder, explorer, or combat enthusiast who wants smoother camera transitions, this is a solid QoL tweak. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla camera or prefer first-person only.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to delete or rename DISABLEMODS.TXT in PCBANKS before adding the mod, or it won't load
- Place the .pak file directly in the MODS folder—no subfolders allowed
- If you use the Camera Enhancements mod for Minotaur/Nautilon, grab that instead to avoid conflicts
