✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 258 endorsements and over 5,600 downloads.
- Simple visual improvement that declutters the UI.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't affect gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008, so it may not be compatible with newer Oblivion versions or mods.
- Only affects icons, so if you're looking for a full UI overhaul, this won't cut it.
- Potential conflicts with other UI mods that alter icon styles.
For Oblivion players who want a cleaner, more color-coded inventory and map interface without a heavy UI overhaul. If you're into minimalist tweaks and don't mind an older mod, this is for you. Skip if you want major UI changes or play with other icon mods that might clash.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, manually place the files in your Oblivion Data folder and ensure it's not overwritten by other UI mods.
- Check if you have any other icon mods installed—this one might conflict, so load order matters.
- If you use a mod manager, install it last to keep its icon changes.
