📋 About This Mod

See Skyrim Better! This is a small utility that allows hotkey zooming in while in first person view. I have defaults mapped to mouse keys, but you can configure any controls.

Features

  • []Hotkey zoom in / out / normal[]Remappable key bindings[]Adjustable limits for zoom, wide angle, and speed

Requirements

  • []SKSE 1. 7. 1[]SkyUI

Compatibility

  • []Fully compatible with DLC and 3rd party mods.[]Not known to conflict with any other mod. Any load order works.[]Hot keys are remappable to avoid conflicts.

Game Safe

  • []Adds no scripts to objects.[]Safely and easily remove at any time.

CAVEAT: Jaxonz Zoom achieves the zoom effect by dynamically altering the Skyrim.ini value fDefaultWorldFOV. This value is restored to your original setting when you tap the Zoom Reset hotkey or leave first person view. However, it is possible to leave this value changed if you quit Skyrim while zoomed in. Jaxonz Zoom will recover gracefully, but just in case it also stores the default zoom value in Skyrim.ini as the value Original_fDefaultWorldFOV.
