Joy of Perspective


============
Description
============

The Joy of Perspective project is a complete overhaul of Skyrim's first person that adds more realistic animations and a visible body. Animations can be chosen between the more realistic 3rd person style animations (where weapons are held off screen) and vanilla style animations. This mod is a port of the Joy of Perspective mod on original Skyrim.


=============
Installation
=============

1. Activate 'Joy of Perspective' in NMM and follow instructions.

* For manual installation, extract the contents of the "00 Core" folder to your Skyrim data folder (C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\data). The '00 Core' folder installs the female movement animations, vanilla weapon stance, and vanilla animations by default. If you prefer something else, the other folders can be extracted into your data folder.

The "31 Optional Movement Behaviors" can be installed to enable additional movement direction animations (forward/backward-left/right). These have less quality when using Vanilla Combat Stance animations.


2. Click yes to overwrite all files/folders if prompted.

Note: Do not use any 1st person skeleton mods unless they are updated to support JoP.


3. Activate the JoP plugins

Joy of Perspective.esp


===============
Uninstallation
===============

If removal via NMM fails a manual removal can be performed as follows:


1. Delete the following folder from your Skyrim install directory:

Data\Meshes\Actors\Character\_1stperson


2. Delete the JOP ESP files:

Data\Joy of Perspective.esp


=============
Known Issues
=============

- The player does not cast a shadow.
- Feet do not have correct movement if you are moving when attacking/blocking.
- Your arms can sometimes clip into your body when looking down during certain animations.
- When swimming on the surface, your body may appear to be floating above the water.
