I put it on `110` as suggested in various places. Then in the Skyrim.ini file, under ``, add `fDefaultWorldFOV=x.x` where `x.x` is the number of degrees of field of view you want. If it exists and it’s `1` change it to `0` otherwise just add the whole line, minus the quote marks. In the Skyrimprefs.ini file, add/change `Bmouseacceleration=0` under ``. Okay, that’s all you should need for the mods! Time to open up the preference files and make a few changes. It’s also configurable to let you auto switch to first-person if you’re shooting arrows or something. Next came Motion Sickness BE GONE which removes all that camera bob stuff when you’re moving around.īecause I needed to play in 3rd person, I grabbed the 3rd Person Camera Overhaul, which helps make this feel like Witcher, Dragon Age, etc.
Note that if you’re on Windows 10 you need to “run as administrator” or the mods won’t be recognized. This made it easy to handle the mods (it doesn’t muck up your vanilla install!) and also lets you edit the `.ini` files directly from the interface.
I started with Mod Organizer 2 on a recommendation from a friend. I’ll still go into first once in a while for archery aiming or for picking stuff up off a shelf, but with the mods added it’s not bad for short periods. The key to the whole thing for me was playing in third-person. The mods and changes should be the same with the legacy version as well (these mods are ports of the older ones).
They can be tricky, but not impossible with a little patience. The only caveat is that if you’ve never installed mods before, take your time and read all the docs thoroughly. Here’s how I resolved my motion sickness problems in Skyrim SE. It took a bit of searching, but when I finally started up my fully modded game, I was able to play for a couple hours and walk away without even a tinge of nausea. I wasn’t alone apparently, because I was able to find plenty of references to the issue, especially in VR and various consoles, where it’s much more difficult to create a solution. But those were third-person and I was never quite as sick. With both of those games, an hour or so into the playthrough, my brain figured it out and I’ve been fine ever since. Witcher 3 does this to me a little bit, Dragon Age II did it a little as well. I do occasionally get a bit ill from a game.
The first-person camera gave me the most severe motion sickness I’ve ever had from a game. I was disappointed ten minutes into my playthrough when I had to turn the game off because I was utterly sick to my stomach. I was excited and decided to just start the vanilla game, making sure my specs matched my expectations and that the game ran properly before I started glomming stuff onto it.
When I finally took the time to build my own PC this year, gaming in general, and Skyrim modding in particular, were on my mind when I was choosing parts.ĭurin g the great Steam sale a few months ago, the Special Edition of Skyrim went on sale and I finally took the plunge. I had heard, however, that the stuff that was available through mods was pretty awesome. It wasn’t that I was bored, particularly, but other games held my attention a bit better. I had it for the Xbox 360, but all I had done was run around collecting cabbages.
Skyrim is an old game, but I hadn’t really played it.
