We also reckon highlights could be in a colour other than white, as they struggle to stand out against the lighter background. Some compatibility with famous mods is missing – such as warmth indicators for Frostfall – and some UI elements aren’t clickable yet, so you’ll have to use your keybindings. Uploaded yesterday, the mod is still a work-in-progress, with ElSopa currently seeking feedback for the final version. A pack of spells and tools that help you on your journey. Faster physics for capes, clothes, hair, etc An enhanced temple overhaul. In fact, SkyUI themes is a new series of mods by the noted Skyrim modder ElSopa, suggesting that further editions are planned (could a Morrowind reskin be in the offing?) The first theme is called The Adventurer, and it’s quite clearly based on Oblivion’s UI. A very WELL-made mesh-only solution for animated water in wells and sewers. Fortunately, there’s now a mod that lets us import that look to SkyUI.

It hadn’t occurred to me that its monochrome minimalism might be kinda ugly too, but I’m reconsidering that in comparison with the classic parchment look of predecessor Oblivion. In fact, it’s so crap that one of the game’s most downloaded mods is SkyUI, which neatly streamlines everything for PC players.

Vanilla Skyrim’s UI is, famously, pretty crap.
