[]Install BepinEx
[
]Install Configuration Manager OR BepinEx Configuration Manager[]Mod Manager install through Vortex or Mod Organizer 2
[]Manual install by placing .dll file into BepinEx/plugins folder
Mod Organizer 2 installation will only work if you created a game plugin for Valheim. It currently does not support Valheim by default. I have added a simple game plugin I created for it as an optional file if anyone wants to use it.
I cannot ensure compatibility for every mod out there but for a lot of the options in the config, you can enable and disable whatever you want so it works well with other mods. I developed this mod with compatibility in mind, especially for first person view mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community trust with 176 endorsements.

⚠️ Cons

For Valheim players who find the default camera limiting, especially when sailing or sneaking. If you're a builder or explorer who wants a better view, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with the vanilla camera or want more substantial gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since Valheim mods often require BepInEx, check if you have it installed; if not, you'll need to add it first.
- Test the FOV and camera settings in different scenarios (sailing, sneaking) to find what feels best.
- If the mod doesn't work after a game update, check the mod page for updates or community patches.
