📋 About This Mod

This mod started simply and evolved a little bit. All in all it\'s a pretty simple mod. Requirements: OBSE What it does: This mod allows you to control the camera view/rotate your character with the keyboard. When this mod is first loaded it gives you an option to use the defaults (arrow keys) or define your own. It also adds a weightless Misc Inventory item that can be used at any time later to change your settings. You can also drop this item if you choose, but then you won\'t be able to change your settings later. If there\'s any bugs let me know, I\'ve tested it as thouroughly as I can. Note: Don\'t be stupid and try to set any options to a key in use (i.e. Setting the look left option to \"a\" is not a good idea unless you go unbind a from the oblivion options). Extra Note: If you wish to use the left/right to turn your character and the up/down to move you character (instead of make hime look up and down), choose to set custom controls then set left and right as normal but press backspace for up and down to disable them. Then use Oblivions normal key mapping to move forward/backward to the up/down arrows. Contributers: jawa9000 - Requested this mod. QQuix - Working out the original script for changing camera angles.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Perfect for keyboard purists who hate dragging the mouse around.
  • Tiny download size means it won't bloat your load order.
  • Simple concept that does exactly what it says on the tin.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2009, so it may not work with newer game versions or DLC.
  • Only 31 endorsements suggest it's not widely tested or supported.
  • No mention of customization options, so you're stuck with default keybinds.
🎯 Is This For You?
This is for players who prefer keyboard-only controls and want to avoid mouse movement for camera panning. It's also for modders looking for a lightweight example of camera control scripting. If you're fine with mouse controls, this mod offers little value.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if your game version is compatible, as the mod is from 2009 and may need manual tweaking.
  • Test the keybinds in a safe area before relying on them in combat.
  • If the mod doesn't work, try using it with a script extender if your game requires one.
