📋 About This Mod

This mod adjusts several values in the GcCameraGlobals file. This will conflict with any mod that adjusts the same file. Some of this came from Azzinoth's Improved Cameras mod, though I've changed it and added a decent amount since then.  If Azzinoth comes back, I will gladly hand over all my changes and let them have it all!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a tweak mod, back up your save or test on a new world first to see if the camera changes feel right.

  • Check the mod's page for any hidden config files; some tweak mods let you adjust values in XML.
