A lightweight OBSE plugin that prevents mouse wheel scrolling from toggling between first- and third-person view in Oblivion, while still allowing manual POV changes and zoom in third person. Configurable via INI to disable specific direction switches. Simple DLL with no ESP or performance impact.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No ESP or performance hit—just a clean DLL that does one job
- INI options let you fine-tune which direction switching is blocked
- Community-trusted author (lStewieAl) with 163 endorsements
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might not be compatible with newer OBSE versions
- Requires OBSE, so you need to set that up first
For Oblivion players who hate accidentally switching POV when scrolling the mouse wheel, especially during combat or exploration. Also for those who want to keep third-person zoom but avoid the unwanted toggle. Skip if you rarely use the mouse wheel or don't mind the default behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure OBSE is installed and working before adding this plugin—launch the game via obse_loader.exe.
- Edit the INI file to disable only the direction you want; you can keep zoom in third person.
- If you use a mod manager, you can install the DLL manually into your Oblivion Data folder—no ESP means no load order worries.
