Description
==========
Attention: Backup your files before the installation. You’ve been warned!
This is an beta version and a work in progress. Make sure to read the Installation Instructions carefully! Please keep in mind this is WIP.
===========
What it does
===========
This mod makes the player’s body visible in 1st person. It also replaces the first person animations with customized versions of the more realistic 3rd person animations.
Joy of Perspective now includes an alternative set of Vanilla style combat animations, this allows for some unique features:
– Weapons can be held offscreen using the 3rd person animations and still use Vanilla style attack animations.
– The ability of mix and match Vanilla and 3rd person animations. For example, you can have 3rd person combat animations and Vanilla style magic animations.
Recommended FOV is 85 or lower. FOV settings above 85 may introduce clipping bugs.
=====================

Update Instructions:
==================
If you’re updating from a previous version, make sure to delete all files of the old version first before unpacking the archive.
==================
Compatibility Issues:
==================
The mod is not compatible with any other mod that flags the races in the CK. It is also not compatible with any mod which changes the first person skeleton.nif or any of the 1st person animations.
Automatic Head-tracking may also cause issues if enabled.
===========
Known Issues:
============
The player does not cast a shadow
Feet do not move when attacking/blocking (not too noticeable)
Weapons are visible when swimming
Your lower body may appear darker than normal when outside. This can be fixed by lowering fNearDistance under [Display] in Skyrim.ini but this may increase mountain flickering.
