✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Streamlines menu navigation—no more hunting for the close button.
- Small and focused, does exactly what it says without bloat.
- Active development (updated July 2025) with a modest but real user base (40 endorsements).
⚠️ Cons
- Only works with OpenMW, not the original Morrowind engine.
- Limited to closing menus—no other UI tweaks included.
- Low endorsement count (40) means it's not widely tested; potential edge cases with certain menu states.
For OpenMW players who find clicking to close menus more intuitive than keyboard shortcuts or small X buttons. If you're a purist who prefers the original UI, you can skip it. It's a tiny QoL mod that fits into any load order without conflicts.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind executable—this mod won't work otherwise.
- Place the mod files in your OpenMW data directory and enable it in the launcher's content list.
- Test it with the map and journal first to get a feel for the click-to-close behavior.
