✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 408 endorsements and nearly 50k downloads
- Solves a genuinely annoying UI quirk that breaks immersion
- Tiny mod, no bloat—just does one job and does it well
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses zoom reset—no other menu-related fixes
- May conflict with other UI overhauls that alter menu behavior
- Last updated January 2026, so compatibility with future patches is uncertain
For Skyrim players who use zoom frequently and hate when the camera snaps back to default after opening a menu. If you're a purist who wants minimal UI tweaks, this is perfect. Skip if you're looking for broader UI improvements—this is a single-purpose fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager and place it near the end of your load order to ensure it overrides other UI tweaks.

- If you use a UI overhaul like SkyUI, check for compatibility patches—this mod may need to load after it.
