📋 About This Mod
Intended for use with Humanoid Vampire Lords.
This mod uses a lightweight script to change the player's viewpoint when in Vampire Lord form (levitate mode or sprint/flying). This is because after the changes made in Humanoid Vampire Lords, it can be difficult to see. Humanoid Vampire Lords uses the default view at all times; this mod makes it so that when your Vampire Lord body would be in the way, the camera adjusts so you can still see. At all other times the default camera position is used.
Requirements:
Humanoid Vampire Lords (recommended to use with, but not a hard requirement)
Installation:
Manual or any mod manager works
Safe to install mid-game
Updating from 1. 0:
If you want to install 2. 0 on a current playthough, uninstall 1. 0 and make a clean save (consider cleaning that
save with resaver) then install 2. 0.
Known Issues: Not really any. You might notice a short delay for the camera switch, but that's just script speeds for you.
Incompatible with SmoothCam. This is due to the way SmoothCam is designed, and I can't patch it on my end.
Sort of compatible with SmoothCam: The latest SmoothCam update adds a toggle function which you can use to disable it during Vampire Lord transformations. Due to the way the SmoothCam's author has implemented the disable function, I don't think I can control it with this mod without including an override of the SmoothCam esp and script, which is beyond what I want to do at this time.
Adohleas of Humanoid Vampire Lords for the fantastic mod

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 572 endorsements and nearly 16k downloads.
- Fixes a real annoyance—camera clipping when transformed.
- Lightweight and focused; does one thing and does it well.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so it's not for pure console or vanilla players.
- Only works with Humanoid Vampire Lords, so it's useless if you don't use that mod.
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
For Skyrim SE players who use Humanoid Vampire Lords and are tired of the camera clipping through walls or blocking your view. If you don't use that mod, skip it—this is a niche fix for a specific transformation mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE's loader, not the default launcher.
- Install Humanoid Vampire Lords first, then this fix, to ensure the camera tweak applies correctly.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
