About this image

For anyone wondering how to take cool screenshots, use the following steps.
1. play 3rd person or quickly switch to 3rd person right before the shot.if you have scriptdragon and the photography mod, you can cycle through the weather using page up and page down. pick the weather now since it dosent work in the console unless you know the dumb weather codes.

1.5 if you play with a controler as I do. hit pause. It has to be pause, not favorites menu or the skill item ect menu or it will screw up. if your using a keyboard or you think you can reach your keyboard fast, skip to 2

2. hit "~" to open the console.

3. type "tfc 1" then hit enter, if you had the game paused, unpause it, dosent matter since tfc 1 pauses the game and lets you freeffly your camera around un-anchored to your body. (wheeeee)

4. find the angle you want then you can either use the console again and enter "tm" to toggle all the ui. (its a little scarry to get it back if you have never used the console before). Allternatively you can pause the game, go in the display settigs and set the HUD opacity slider all the way to the left.

5. take your screenshot. (i thought you could move around with "tm" activated but you cant)

6. if you used the console and "tm" press the "~" button to bring the console up, you wont see the console at all since you hid everything, menu and all. Press the "up key" then "enter" to bring everything back. I have to do it twice for some reason. if you did it the other way, undo it in the settings.

7. bring the console up one last time and enter "tfc 1" you will return to your body and the action will unpause.
