Description

Third-Person Camera Mod

Introduces a hotkey (default: V) to activate a third-person camera in Thick As Thieves. This leverages the game’s existing third-person system, including full character models, native animations, and smooth transitions. The keybinding can be customized through a simple configuration file. Installation is quick with a drag-and-drop setup and does not open any console window. Compatible with both single-player and multiplayer modes. Built using UE4SS.

DISCOVERY

During analysis of the player controller class via UE4SS, it was discovered that the developers had already included a fully functional third-person mode (complete body mesh, native animations, smooth transitions). However, it is not assigned to any key by default. This mod simply exposes that functionality through a hotkey.

FEATURES

• Switch between first-person and third-person views using the V key (“V” for View)

• Customizable keybinding via a straightforward config file

• Utilizes the game’s built-in third-person system (no asset modifications or custom models)

• Seamless transitions handled directly by the engine

• Fully functional during movement, jumping, climbing, and interactions

• No performance or gameplay impact when inactive

INSTALLATION (Approx. 2 Minutes)

1. On Steam: Right-click the game > Manage > Browse Local Files

2. Navigate to: TAT\Binaries\Win64

3. Copy dwmapi.dll and the ue4ss folder from the downloaded zip into this directory

4. Start the game

USAGE

Press V during gameplay to toggle third-person view on or off.

MODIFYING THE HOTKEY

Open ue4ss\Mods\ThirdPersonCamera\Scripts\config.lua using a text editor (e.g., Notepad) and update:
config.ToggleKey = Key.V

Available unused keys in TAT include: Key.B, Key.K, Key.J, Key.H, Key.Y, Key.U, Key.I, Key.O, Key.P, Key.L, Key.N, Key.M, Key.F3

COMPATIBILITY

Fully compatible with other UE4SS-based mods. If UE4SS is already installed (e.g., for FOV, sensitivity, or motion blur mods), simply merge the ue4ss/Mods/ folders without overwriting existing files.

UNINSTALLATION

Remove dwmapi.dll and delete the ue4ss folder from: TAT\Binaries\Win64

REQUIREMENTS

None. UE4SS is included in the download—just extract and use.

NOTES

• Works in both single-player and multiplayer modes (no anti-cheat conflicts). Note that third-person view may provide a gameplay advantage in multiplayer—use responsibly.

• Antivirus or SmartScreen warnings may appear; these are common false positives for UE4SS DLL-based mods.

CREDITS

Built using UE4SS (RE-UE4SS), an open-source project. Thanks to the UE4SS development team.

CHANGELOG

v1.1 – Default key changed from F11 to V (chosen for availability and compatibility with all keyboard layouts, including compact ones). Added support for configurable keybinding via config.lua.
v1.0 – First release
