📋 About This Mod
Description
The fix involves changing the flashlight FOV value, which in affect increases the radius of the light so it covers where you are aiming. I've also increased the range of the flashlight, so it doesn't stop working at distances so suddenly. Both these changes take effect in 3rd and 1st person views.
Fixes the flashlight in 3rd person, so it doesn't point at the floor when aiming down sights (ADS). Can be used in conjunction with flashlight mods, such as:
-
[]Non-Blinding Flashlight[/]
[]Luxor's realistic Flashlight HD[/]
Installation instructions
-
[]Install using a mod manager, such as MO2 or Vortex.[/]
[]To install manually, extract the zip folder into the Data folder and activate the esm file via the Creations - Load Order section within the game menu.[/]
If the flashlight mod has a plugin, make sure this mod has priority over it.
If using Enhanced Lights and FX, make sure this mod has priority.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Direct fix for a common annoyance in 3rd person
- Decent community support (145 endorsements)
- Lightweight and focused—no bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses flashlight behavior—no other visual tweaks
- May not be needed if you play exclusively in 1st person
For players who frequently use 3rd person view and hate when the flashlight points at the floor while aiming. If you're a 1st person purist, you might still benefit from the 1st person improvement, but it's a niche fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just drop the file into your mods folder and enable it.
- Test in both 3rd and 1st person to see the improvement.
- Make sure you have the latest game version to avoid conflicts.
