CAMERA PERSISTENCE FIXES
Requirements
Latest version of SKSE64
Visual C++ Redistributables 2022
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
Description
This plugin fixes several issues caused by the game not serializing certain camera data to save.
eg. if you save in free camera mode (tfc) and reload, camera will bug out and put you near 0,0,0 world coordinates
These are now serialized properly :
- []Free camera state (position/rotation)[/]
-
[]Camera target (using Papyrus SetCameraTarget function). Added SetCameraTarget (cts) console command for convinience.[/]
Serialized camera data is stored in CameraSaveData.json at My Documents/Skyrim (Special Edition/GOG)/Saves.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust – 4,017 endorsements and 1.5M downloads show this fix is essential for many players
- Targets a specific, annoying bug – if you've had your free camera reset, this is the cure
- Recent update (Oct 2024) means it's likely compatible with current game patches
⚠️ Cons
- Niche fix – only matters if you actually use the free camera and notice the reset bug
- Requires the game to be modded – if you're on a vanilla playthrough, this won't help
For players who use the free camera for screenshots, machinima, or exploration and are frustrated by its position resetting after loading a save. If you've never noticed the bug, you might not need it, but it's a safe quality-of-life install for anyone who values camera control.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and enable – it's a simple plugin that does its job in the background
- Test the free camera before and after loading a save to confirm the fix is working
- Since it's a bug fix, place it in your load order with other fixes, but it should work anywhere
