Stop Fidgeting Dammit!

Friends, if you're like me you spend an inordinate amount of time in the race menu getting your character to look just right.

 

Have you ever gotten motion sickness or just plain dizzy from the constant swaying back-and-forth of your character as you attempt to sculpt the perfect jaw-line?

 

Well I have, and it gave me an idea for a mod. Since I don't have any scripting knowledge, I would like to share it with the community and see if I could garner some interest...or maybe just get pointed in the right direction to see this happen.

 

The mod would be called "Stop Fidgeting Dammit". It would accomplish 3 goals:

 

1. Make your character absolutely motionless in the race menu.

 

2. Increase the zoom out function so as to be able to see your entire character from head to toe.

 

3. Allow you to rotate your character 360° so you can see that awesome back tattoo overlay.

 

After some poking around in the CK and Papyrus wikis and checking out the functions available to modders, I believe that this wouldn't be too difficult to achieve... but I also see that I'm over my head when it comes to working with those tools.

 

So, what do you think? Good idea?

Maybe there is a mod that already does this and I just missed it?

Any and all feedback is appreciated. Even if you just want to tell me to go wiz up a rope.

 

cheers~!

there are already mods that allow you to see your entire character and rotate around them. the part about keeping them motionless though could be a problem though. if I am correct when you're in the race menu you do not leave the game engine and that is why your character is moving. so I see a lot of CTD issues with that. not impossible I don't think. just a pain in the rear for a mod that you don't need. you can already use the creation kit to fully build your character and they don't move at all while you do it.

Thanks, I'll try that.

 

I've searched high and low on the nexus for something that did the job. I found that ECE has camera control, but that function is not compatible with RaceMenu... meaning I'm s**t out of luck.

 

I have discovered, however, that if I enter 'tfc' before 'showracemenu' then the camera will stay where I put it during character editing. Good enough.
