This mod adds a fully functional Photo Mode to Skyrim, inspired by later Bethesda games.
Features
Photo Mode can be accessed from the Pause/System Menu, or with a hotkey.
Photos will be saved in My Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/Photos or your game screenshot directory.
Photos may also show up as loading screens (fullscreen images or as 3D paintings with an oil paint filter applied).
These options can be configured through MCM.
Supports both gamepad and keyboard/mouse, Auto Input Switch is recommended.
Settings
Camera :
Image composition grid overlays Adjust field of view Change view roll (tilt camera) Configure vanilla DOF strength, distance and range
Time :
Freeze, speed up or slow down time Control time of day and timescale Select and override current weather
Player/NPCS :

Overlays
Apply any custom overlay of your choice such as frames or logos See below on how to create your own custom overlay packs
Any overridden game settings will be reset on menu close.
Color values should be hex (#FFFFFFFF) or RGBA values (255,255,255,255)
Adjust fonts/font scale by editing Data/Interface/PhotoMode/fonts.ini.
Changes will be automatically applied by reopening Photo Mode in game.
Creating Custom Overlays
Overlays are full screen resolution (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) PNG files placed in Data/Interface/PhotoMode/Overlays
These are scaled down to native resolution in game, so one 4K overlay should fit all 16:9 screens
Folder structure must be followed:
FOLDER_NAME (used in CATEGORY slider) OVERLAY_1.png OVERLAY_2.png
eg.
EFFECTS VIGNETTE.png NOISE.png
Compatibility
FreeFlyCam
PhotoMode's view roll and Q/E keys used to navigate tabs does not work Solution - remap PhotoMode tab navigation keys in MCM, and use FreeFlyCam's view roll feature.
Immersive Equipment Display
Default hotkey to access IED is Backspace, which will trigger IED during text input Solution - remap IED's key to something else
Screenshot Helper
Compatible
Skyrim Upscaler

This mod has not been tested on 21:9 screens so there may be some oddities with the UI.
