📋 About This Mod

(Now Available!) *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** WHAT IS THIS MOD?:
This Mod is an addition/reworking of Muckbeast's Autorun and Tab Highlight Toggles Mod that makes it so you don't have to keep track of opening and closing another program every time you want to use it.
This mod adds in a new "Launcher" that just opens up Dragon Age: Origins and the Autorun program at the same and makes sure the Autorun program closed when the game closes. The launcher is just a .bat file converted into an .exe (to get rid of the console window) with an external program, and I have been told that it might be flagged as suspicious by anti-virus software, but seems to be fine once it checks it.
If you have any issue with the software please tell me and I'll see what I can do to help, and if you want to know more about the AutoHotKey software used to make this mod please check out the original mod by Muckbeast.

- MOD PURPOSE:
Make hitting the Tab key to highlight usable objects toggle-able, so you just have to press it once instead of always holding it down.
Adds in an Autorun function when you press Numpad0 (Numpad0 must be set as a secondary Move Forward key in Dragon Age Origins' controls for this to work), that is cancelled by pressing either W, S, or Numpad0 again.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 363 endorsements and over 10k downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance—no more alt-tabbing to toggle autorun.
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't touch gameplay balance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLC.
- Potential conflicts with other UI mods that alter the same interface elements.
- No active development or patches for years, so bugs may remain unfixed.
For Skyrim players who frequently use autorun and want a quick toggle without leaving the game. Also for UI tinkerers who appreciate small quality-of-life improvements. Skip if you're on a newer Skyrim version or use heavy UI overhauls that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install this mod through it to avoid manual file placement errors.
- Check your Skyrim version—this mod is from 2015, so it may need compatibility patches for Special Edition or Anniversary Edition.
- If you have other UI mods, install this one after them and test in-game to ensure no overlapping toggles.
