📋 About This Mod
Adds third person perspective to Subnautica, as first person perspective can cause motion sickness for some.
- A simple, but smooth, third person camera for swimming around the world or with the seaglide.
- Targeting as easy as in first person.
- Camera handles tight spaces, such as when you're inside a lifepod.
"Features":
- Third person is kept on during all cinematics, such as at the start of the game. See the janky animations that the devs hid off-screen in all of
their glory!

Can you run this mod for the entire playthrough?
Yes, quite comfortably. Give it a shot!
Some tips:
- Try out multiple values for mouse / controller sensitivity in the game options, this mod was developed with controller sensitivity set to 80. YMMV.
- Any value for the field or view in the game options works well, this mod was developed with FoV set to 60. YMMV.

Known issues
- Ryley isn't wearing his scuba mask when swimming. The scuba mask isn't actually 3D-modeled in the game. If you know how to add a scuba mask to Ryley, that could be a fun improvement!
- Minor issue, minor spoiler:

What about VR?
No idea, I don't have a VR headset.
