📋 About This Mod
Stops scrolling switching between 1st/3rd person (you can still manually change POV and scroll to zoom in/out in 3rd person). Simple dll (no esp or performance hit). Can enable/disable switching between 1st->3rd and 3rd->1st in the INI.
A lightweight SKSE plugin that prevents mouse wheel scrolling from switching between first and third person in Skyrim, while still allowing manual POV changes and zoom in third person. Configurable via INI to disable specific transitions. Ideal for players who accidentally switch views while scrolling.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Zero performance impact – it's a tiny DLL, no ESP clutter
- Configurable via INI – you can disable only the direction you hate
- Community trusted with 303 endorsements and 4,175 downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE64 – if you're not already using it, that's an extra dependency
- Last updated in 2019 – may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches without tweaks
- No MCM – you'll need to edit the INI manually to change settings
For Skyrim players who are tired of accidentally switching to third person when scrolling their inventory or dialogue. If you prefer keyboard hotkeys for POV changes and want to keep scroll for zooming, this is a must-have. Skip if you rarely use the mouse wheel or don't mind the default behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE64 installed and launch the game through skse64_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
- After installing, check the INI file in the mod folder to tweak which POV transitions are disabled – you can set them independently.
- If you use a mod manager like MO2, install the mod as a regular mod and ensure it's placed after SKSE scripts in your load order.
