1st/3rd Person Key Not Responding

[Vagineer1]

The key (For me it is F) to switch between 1st and 3rd person is not responding to me pressing it. I have already tried switching it to another key with no success. Please help me.

Usually by repeating the same process that caught you in that view. If you got stuck as a werewolf, then you need to transform in to werewolf again. If you got stuck using Estrus to yourslef, then you need to sneak and use it again.

I know, I know. This is not a good anwer. It was the fastest help I coud offer right now, because I don't know any universal fix for this problem. There must be one.

I will try turning into a werewolf, even though that may not be the problem I will try thanks.

You could also try any crafting table.

I have spent last 13 hours here and I really need to go now. If you find solution, then please share it. If not, I will try to look it up tomorrow.

Have you tried scrolling to switch between 1st and 3rd person? Or do scrolling also not work?

Before I fixed it I tried that and all it did was make the camera go as close to the character as possible without going into first person.

Okay, I also experienced this once, where the F key and scrolling doesn't work. What help me was to reload an earlier save and toggling between 1st and 3rd person a couple of times and saving the game. After this I reloaded my current progress save and everything was good again.

That's new. I would love to know if that can be repeated.

I have also found that this bug is mainly caused, or at least though to be caused, by the Dawnguard DLC. The suspected string causing the bug is "dlc1playervampirechangescript", which is in the saved game file.

The solution is to use a hex editor and changing the parameters of the corrupt/bugging string.

EDIT: Note that I have never tried the above mentioned solution to use a hex editor.

Found this post which corroborates my solutions :)
Load an earlier save[forums.nexusmods.com]

The problem is, that loading an earlier save have not always fixed this matter, because not all cases (like EstrusForSkyrim I mentioned above) are linked with Dawnguard scripts.

I admit that I haven't spend too much time poking around this matter - my plate is full enough as it is -, but I think I will test these out during the week. :)

That is true. To be honest, I also just did a quick search of the problem and what I posted above was the first couple of links, in which the Dawnguard DLC was to blame, but it's silly to think that the problem is solely caused by DG.

Teehee. I am doing some WIP-testing for several mods. My test character is so bugged out that I should get a medal every time I manage to bring her back to "life."

Going back 3 saves restored my 1st POV. It didn't come back after reloading my current save though. Not a big issue as, after reordering some mod loads, I just picked back up from where it still worked. Thanks for the suggestion!

Or they could make their own posts instead of resurrecting an ancient one.
