📋 About This Mod
The automatic camera rotation is great when galloping and running on foot, but it was extremely frustrating when trying to take in the sights while leisurely walking on horseback.
This is a simple mod that only disables auto camera rotation while walking on horseback. If you canter or break into a gallop or dismount, the automatic camera rotation returns to normal.
Updated 15/08/23 modHorsebackSightseeing_150823_1102.zip update re-enables automatic camera rotation or canter or gallop, while leaving it disabled on walk.
Horseback Sightseeing is a compact camera mod for Skyrim that keeps the camera fixed in the direction you point while cantering on horseback. It's for players who want a more cinematic or controllable view during horse travel. With 233 endorsements and 5,163 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated utility.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple plugin, just drop the .esp into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager.

- Test it on a horse outside a city to see the effect—it only works when cantering, so make sure you're at that speed.
