📋 About This Mod
People like me who like to change the size of some NPCs and are annoyed to see them change back to 1. 0 when performing idle actions (leaning, sitting, sleeping, sweeping, chopping, cooking etc.).
Also removes camera restrictions for Thrones, mining, crafting and cooking to zoom or rotate freely around your character.
This ESP removes the RaceToScale keyword from most objects like beds, chairs, benches, chopping blocks, saw mills, leaning markers etc.
That vanilla entry forces custom resized NPCs to change back to 1. 0.
BE AWARE THAT ...
there will be a space between their elbows and counters
and they hover with their butt above the chairs/benches if you make NPCs taller.
(The game engine seems to use the feet as the basis for the position of the other body parts.)
I use up to 1. 12 and I prefer the gap over shrinking.
(Have a look at the pictures with resized some NPCs.)
Works fine with "Simple Multiple Followers" which adds a Sandbox behavior to Followers.

... is stupid. Originates from my 1st private mod that ReVamps an NPC.
"Markers" because of entries for furniture and the child just needed a name :-P

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 11,360 endorsements and over 305k downloads.
- Fixes a subtle but annoying visual glitch that breaks immersion.
- Simple, focused purpose—does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Only affects idle animations; doesn't address other camera or scaling issues.
For Skyrim players who notice NPCs shrinking when they sit or work and find it immersion-breaking. Also for those who want less restrictive camera angles during crafting and mining. Skip if you're fine with vanilla behavior or want a more comprehensive animation overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2017, check if your Skyrim version is pre-Special Edition or use the appropriate version if available.
- If you use a mod manager, install manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Test the mod in a small area like a mine or throne room to see the camera changes immediately.
