📋 About This Mod
First, you need Xpadder to use this. Second, you need to delete the control binds for "Joystick" in the controls menu. Personally I click the button bind then hold the start button down to delete it. If you can't delete your joystick binds in game then I have my oblivion.ini packaged with the xpadder profile.
L3 enables vanity view, A and B zoom in/out. (R3 still changes your View, and L3 still changes sneak mode. However it takes 0. 15 seconds to enable Vanity view) Y button is used to talk to people. *X button is to interact with menus and jump. (Takes 0. 06 seconds to input jump)
The rest is straight forward. If you're getting an issue of your Cycle hotkey popping up when inputting certain buttons then delete your oblivion profile, and make sure you delete all joystick keybinds. If none of this works hopefully my oblivion.ini will work. (Oblivion.ini is located at Documents\My Games\Oblivion)
