Give Skyrim the joy of first-person perspective and visibility

The Joy of Perspective mod is a custom expansion pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. It allows players to view their characters even if they have chosen the first-person playing mode. Like BodySlide, Outfit Studio, and many other Nexus mods, this Skyrim program alters graphics without affecting the gameplay.

Players who get a lot out of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition game will already know many fan-made mods are available for the game. This mod is extremely good at what it does and is free to use.

Why is Joy of Perspective?

When playing Skyrim SE in the first-person mode, you can’t see your character at all, which many players don’t like. This fan-made mod allows you to view two different animation styles, giving you many more viewing options. With the Joy of Perspective, you can see your character’s arms, body, and feet when playing Skyrim in the first-person view.

Do shadows affect Joy of Perspective?

Yes, they do. When you install the mod and play Skyrim SE, characters will no longer naturally cast a shadow. It does not affect the gameplay, but it can be slightly annoying if you prefer the photo-realism aspect of shadows. Think of the glitch as a compromise since you benefit from seeing your character’s body.

Is there an alternative to Skyrim’s Joy of Perspective?

Yes, there is. For example, the Enhanced Camera mod is a worthy option to try. However, Joy of Perspective keeps your character’s arms viewable at all times, whereas the alternative mod only makes your arms visible when you hold them up in front of you.

Is installing the Joy of Perspective worth it?

The Joy of Perspective does have a few compatibility issues when used with other animation mods. Try running it initially without any other mods to decide if it’s for you.
