⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust (20,217 endorsements, 3.0M downloads) — this is a must-have for immersion fans
- Active development: last updated September 2025, so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim SE versions
- Transforms gameplay by letting you see your body and use first-person for actions like executions or mounting
👎 Cons
- Requires SKSE, which adds setup complexity for new modders
- May conflict with other mods that alter camera or animation behavior — check compatibility patches
- No detailed feature list or documentation in the description, so you'll need to test in-game
