📋 About This Mod
A port of A Closer Look SSE by Fudgyduff a.k.a. Ryan to CommonLibSSE-NG to support recent versions of Skyrim. Tested on 1. 15. 97, 1. 16. 353, and 1. 16. 640. Might also work on VR, but I can't test VR.
Don't ask me to change the way the mod works, I just ported it.
Known to be incompatible with Improved Camera. This mod won't work with that one installed. I'd be happy to look into making them compatible when/if that mod goes open source. Apparently this is now compatible with Improved Camera.
A Closer Look NG is a port of the original A Closer Look mod to Skyrim Anniversary Edition, adding a keybind to zoom the camera in for a closer view of your character or surroundings. It includes an MCM menu for configuration, making it a simple quality-of-life tool for players who want a better look at details.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (395) and over 31k downloads show it's a trusted port
- Simple, focused feature: one key to zoom, no bloat
- MCM support means you can tweak it to your liking
⚠️ Cons
- Only zooms in, not out—so it's a one-way tool
- As a port, it may inherit any quirks from the original mod
- Compatibility with other camera mods isn't guaranteed, so test with your setup
For Skyrim players who want a quick way to inspect their character or environment up close, especially for screenshots or roleplay. If you're on AE and miss the original mod, this is your fix. Skip if you're looking for a full camera overhaul—this is just a zoom button.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Bind the zoom key to something easy to reach, like C or V, for quick access
- Use the MCM to adjust zoom speed or toggle if you find it too sensitive
- If you use other camera mods, test them together to avoid conflicts
