How to permanently change fov setting?

[秋山 優花里]

Whenever I change the fov in game it always resets after a bit what can I do to fix this?

You need a mod to change it, console command for fov always resets.

If you want FOV to stay the same on an existing save without using console regularly, then you need a mod.

Or you can tweak Skyrim.ini and add/change these lines under [DIsplay] branch:
Default1stPersonFOV=85.00
fDefaultWorldFOV=85.00

The above works permanently only when starting a new game.

A mod like this....

I use 3rd Person Camera Overhaul and it keeps my fov at 115.

ini tweak is permanent.

I downloaded the camera mod but I'm not seeing the settings for it in game

Did you follow the requirements?

Settings are in MCM.

The only problem is the ini requires a line with an array (for lack of a better term) just using FOV = # is very limiting.
What would be helpful is if someone explained to people what would be necessary for the ini line.

dude what the hell are you talking about? Are you a non-technical doing technical stuff?? Don't confuse 間桐 桜...

I think you're referring to seeing the entry like this, right?
fDefault1stPersonFOV=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

That's not an array, it's showing your the formatting an decimal places, so you could say 80.8725 and it would use all of that, even an incremental step of 1/1000th will be counted.

Besides no mods needed, there's only 3 settings , and no matter what anyone tells you, WHERE you put it doesn't matter... the different INIs is Bethesda, you can put them all in Skyrim.ini if you want to.

fDefault1stPersonFOV=85
fDefaultWorldFOV=85
fDefaultFOV=85

fDefault1stPersonFOV is the one that confuses people because it makes your arms goofy and bowed if you're using drawn weapons. fDefaultWorldFOV is what you see if you had just opened the console and done 'fov 85' sets both 1st and 3rd person. fDefaultFOV is for the 2d stuff (menus, sub-screens like enchant/alchemy/blah)

That's it. No mods needed, unless you enjoy some dynamic re-sizing thing as you switch between 1st and 3rd. No new game either.

I'm only typing this instead of pasting a link to the 2000 articles that already document this from a decade back, because of you DPMR. There's no array for this. :-)

Geez it's as simple as that. The INI tweak requires a new game to stay permanently. Otherwise FOV resets upon death/saving-loading/waiting/sleeping and maybe something else. To change it in the midgame without tinkering with console every time it resets you need a mod.

Yes, yes, you're right I'm wrong. Oh, no, wait...

Setting it at the console may revert on death/sleep/whatever, but editing the config ini does not, if anything this initially read values are what the 3 FOVs revert to if you change it further in the console.

I feel like you're trolling, and you've got too many hours in-game for that. Knock it off. :-) Don't spread disinformation. I mean really /thread, how immature are you being now? I guess you know what you know, and new information cannot get past that wall of combined ego and ignorance, is that the statement?

Sheesh.

[StreamWhenGuy]

Why are you so sensitive, kid?
FOV is tied to the save game. It's a known fact. Otherwise it wouldn't reset and mods to address it wouldn't exist. INI tweaks work until something forces FOV to change as was previously mentioned, then FOV resets to how it was when a save was created.

Test it out for yourself. Play for a bit. Screenshots prove nothing since FOV resets after certain conditions. Open a map, die (in game), reload, sleep etc. Then open console, enter an FOV value that matches the value you put into Skyrim.ini, then come back and tell me it didn't change. FOV INI changes do revert back at some point when tweaked midgame. Just as if you tweak FOV through console.

After all these hours modding the game I know what I'm talking about.

Edited to provide more info since it seems like this case is somewhat special.
/thread for sure.

FOV 90 90

You'll have to reapply every time you load Skyrim SE from Desktop but in general, its the most reliable method so far. Double value will make it stay even if you open the world map
