🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have SFSE installed and launch the game through SFSE's loader, not the default Starfield exe, or the mod won't activate.
Check your Starfield version in the main menu—if it's below 1.13.61.0, update the game before installing.
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge download count (30,075) shows it's a must-have for third-person fans.
- Smooth camera transition makes combat feel natural without manual toggling.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says with no bloat.
👎 Cons
- Requires SFSE (Starfield Script Extender) which isn't mentioned in the description—you'll need to grab that separately.
- Only works with the specified game version (1.13.61.0+), so if you're on an older build it won't work.
- No config options mentioned—if you want to tweak the behavior, you're out of luck.
