SMX - By Sirillion

SMX transforms 7 Days to Die’s interface from functional to phenomenal, delivering a complete visual overhaul that feels like the natural evolution of the vanilla UI. Designed by Sirillion and a dedicated team, this modular suite reimagines every screen you interact with—from the HUD to the main menu—without sacrificing the game’s core balance.

The mod is built around three standalone modlets: SMXhud refreshes your in-game readouts, SMXmenu upgrades the main menu and loading screens, and SMXui revamps the crafting, inventory, and container windows. Each works independently, but combining all three delivers the full, seamless experience the authors intended. Underpinning everything is SMXcore, a mandatory library modlet that holds the shared assets required by the other components—so you’ll need it installed no matter which pieces you choose.

True to its design philosophy, SMX stays remarkably close to the vanilla feel, making only minor quality-of-life tweaks like an extra crafting queue slot that fits the layout without tipping the difficulty. For those wanting a bit more flair, optional modlets—such as a target health bar, bigger bags, and a third forge slot—are available to extend the experience further. With over 1. 4 million downloads, this is the definitive UI upgrade for survivors who want polish without compromise.
