To accomplish this task, I used a combination of iEquip, Gamepad++, Less Intrusive HUD II, Immersive HUD, moreHUD, SkyUI, iNeed, Loot & Degradation, Frostfall, Wearable Lanterns, Easy Wheel Menu, Realistic Torches, Improved Arjestin Font, and A Matter of Time. Reduce UI 'clutter' & non-critical elements, such as the compass, clock widgets, superfluous textual notifications, etc.Ĭreate a sleek, unobtrusive, and unified general design that maintains immersion & makes efficient use of screen real estate Organize UI elements according to the control scheme - particularly important for Gamepad support

Increase readability of textual UI elements It's seriously that good.)įor this overhaul of UI & controls, my major design goals were to:ĭisplay critical information clearly & intuitively, such as vital attributes, status effects, equipment condition, remaining consumables, etc. (For those who don't know, iEquip & Gamepad++ are the creations of the illustrious Dunc Smith, whose work I believe will revolutionize UI & controls in Skyrim. iEquip is nearing release, along with an updated version of Gamepad++, which means I can finally implement the UI & control changes I've planned for a long while. The first big addition to 4.0.6 is the UI & Controls Overhaul, which I've eagerly anticipated for some time now.

basically anything that's not tech support.Īt the moment, I'm focusing exclusively on preparation for Season 2 & version 4.0.6, which will be the last release for the 4.0.x series (and the version that I'll be playing for the first episodes of Season 2).īecause 4.0.6 is the last in the series, it's the version that will be express installable for free once 4.1.0 drops - so I want to ensure it's as polished as possible. Here's this week's Q&A thread, where you can ask questions about the experience, what I'm working on, what my plans are for upcoming features, etc.
