📋 About This Mod
About:
This mod makes it so it is possible to un-hide the player character and other NPCs when you get too close to them with the photo mode camera.
This mod uses keybinds to trigger the un-hide, but the action is bound to the photo mode movement keys (WASD / Left Thumbstick) so that you don't need to think about it when you move the camera around. If you change your keybinds, the mod should follow these changed keybinds automatically.
Now has NPC support! Not all NPCs are supported, but I tried to get support for all the main ones! If someone is missing and you want them added, please make a post to let me know.
Since loading the NPCs is more expensive, this is only done once. The action that NPC loading is bound to is the open photomode keybind. If you open photo mode through the menu, NPCs will not get loaded into the mod, so use the keybind instead.
When changing the FOV, the character may disappear. Just move the camera slightly and the character will get un-hidden.
Installation:
To install the mod, extract the zip, navigate to the game files, and place the following files in the "StellarBlade/SB/Content/Paks/LogicMods" folder:

[
]Photo_Mode_Dont_Hide_Character_Model_P.ucas - Photo_Mode_Dont_Hide_Character_Model_P.utoc

- Does exactly one thing and does it well: no more vanishing character when you zoom in for that perfect shot.

⚠️ Cons
- Only affects photo mode—if you're not into taking screenshots, this mod does nothing for you.
- May conflict with other photo mode mods that alter camera behavior or character visibility.

For players who love using photo mode to capture their character in action but get frustrated when the model disappears at close range. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just want to show off your character's look, this is a no-brainer. Skip it if you never touch photo mode—it's purely cosmetic and has no gameplay impact.
