SSE Request: Custom Camera

[teepeezombie]

I know the mod author of the popular Customizable Camera mod is waiting for the Script Extender to come out before porting their mod over to SSE, but I would really like something sooner. I think a simple in-game menu option could be constructed to change X and Y settings for the third-person game camera, and that's all I really need. I usually play at player.setscale 0.85 or thereabouts, and a smaller character is way off-camera. Even a mod that centers the camera on the character would be preferable at this point.

I agree, for some reason my first-person camera is lower than the actual head placement of my character.

Until SKSE64 comes out, you can follow the directions in this thread. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/886761-how-to-change-the-camera-zoom-inout-for-3rd-person/

 

It works for me at least but does take a little experimentation. To get them to show up/change in game, you want to be in 3rd person, then draw a weapon/spell.

I have centered my camera through SkyrimCustom.ini, Pretty sure all camera related adjustments can be done there.

You make SkyrimCustom.ini in the My documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/ which should make tweaking less risky as you're not messing with the original file. Looking in the camera mod for oldrim, he recommends to remove ini lines

fOverShoulderCombatAddY
fOverShoulderCombatPosZ
fOverShoulderCombatPosX
fOverShoulderPosZ
fOverShoulderPosX
fMouseWheelZoomSpeed
fMouseWheelZoomIncrement
fVanityModeMinDist
fVanityModeMaxDist
fPitchZoomOutMaxDist
fDefaultWorldFOV
fDefault1stPersonFOV
fDefaultFOV
fShoulderDollySpeed

so I assume those are the values his mod is tweaking, and putting (some of) them to your SkyrimCustom.ini should let you adjust whatever his mod adjusted. (you can even make sort of layouts by making separate SkyrimCustom.ini files which you manually switch to the proper folder.

Look there for documentation for which value is which so know which ones to set for preferred result.
