Skyrim is more than a decade old game that looks surprisingly subpar in first-person. The vanilla first-person perspective in Skyrim could use major improvements, both visual and mechanical.
But as you can expect from Skyrim’s modding community, there are already tonnes of first person mods focused on the third-person view in game. Many modders have developed all new first-person mods or made tweaks to the existing first-person view in game to improve your first-person experience.
So we decided to bring all of these first person mods together and create a list of the best mods for you.
Here’s a list of the best Skyrim and Skyrim SE first person mods for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
The Immersive First Person View mod is a Skyrim first person mod that allows you to see your body when you are in the first-person view. The mod also adds a first person view for things that you can’t experience in this POV, such as for Horse, Vampire Lord, Crafting, Werewolf, and any other situation where you usually exit the first person view.
