Camera Locked in on Horse's Perspective

[Potaters12]

So, I've been enjoying a pretty stable modded playthrough (over 180 mods) for about 3 weeks now until a very odd bug occurred. At a seemingly random time my camera (both in third and first person) got completely stuck in my horse's perspective, even when I'm inside a cell.

I can still see my character and control him, however I'm seeing him in the horse's POV. When this happened the first time, I simply loaded an older save (about three saves back) and the issue was gone. However once it happened the second time, I started trimming mods off my load order to find a culprit. I clipped off Immersive First Person, Customizable Camera, Convenient Horses, and loaded the save without SKSE, but to no avail. After looking online a bit, I found one other person who had this issue, and he was playing on the PS3. Since the PS3 has no mods, I can be certain that this issue isn't mod related at all.

To troubleshoot even further, I tried to force the camera to reset in game through use of various tricks. I tried TFC, using a tanning rack/forge/workbench, mounting and dismounting another horse, using horse call(convenient horses), and I even entered different interiors. Once I enter an interior, my camera's position is located outside the cell and in the position where my horse would be outside. For example if I parked my horse at the Whiterun stables and went inside Whiterun, even though my horse isn't loaded in the world, my camera would still be rooted at the stables outside of Whiterun where my horse would have been. I've tried killing my horse too, but the camera still remains locked on the (now) dead horse.

 

I do have a save that is free of this issue, however it is likely that it will pop up again. Perhaps there are some people out there who have come across this extremely odd bug as well, and have squashed it.

I haven't the slightest clue as to what could be repeatedly causing this. Any ideas at troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. This is a very game-breaking issue, especially due to the fact that I don't like my horse very much as it is.

Thanks

1) Open the console

 

2) Click on your character

 

3) Type: tc

 

Should say something like: "control transfered on AI", while the perspective has been restored for your PC.

 

4) Type again tc and press enter, now it should be completely ok.

 

The 2nd time restores the control to your personal character.

 

This has solved my issue, but first I had kill my horse, I'm not sure if it would work if I wouldn't have killed it before the console commands.

 

However, you could resurrect it if you want (open console, click horse, type resurrect 1)

This worked for me, many thanks for the tip.

 

I'd like to add, if you are struggling to click on your character in console, you can type player.tc

I've been having this issue as well. Can anyone confirm if doing the console command fix actually fixes it for good? Bc I don't want to have to keep using console command everytime I load a save lol

I tried the player.tc twice but it didn't let me switch back to 1st person .. only 3rd person. I also found that it started when i used convenient horses. I uninstalled convenient horses and loaded up again and the problem was gone.
