📋 About This Mod
Update: Now also available for OpenMW with OpenMW Cute Caius Compass!
This small mod contains textures that replace
1) the compass arrow that shows your location and facing on the map and minimap, and
2) the compass face packaged with JaceyS's wonderful Map and Compass.
If you're not using Map and Compass, this will simply give you a fancy new arrow.
If you're using Map and Compass with the option to show a compass instead of the minimap, you also get a fancy new compass face.
I'd recommend using Seph's HUD Customizer to set the minimap size to 72x72 instead of the default 96x96, in order to display the compass face texture at 1:1 scale and ensure the arrow stays properly centered. If you wish, you can make it as small as 68x68 with no obvious problems other than the compass face losing the bottom row of pixels, but any smaller than that and the arrow gets displaced.
There are currently eight compass faces and eight arrows. For update 2. 0 I added several new ones, dropped some old ones I wasn't happy with, and reworked the rest. I may add more if I keep getting ideas. Post a comment or DM if you want something in particular, I will take requests!
Custom Compass is a compact UI mod for replacing the map/minimap arrow, with optional compass face support if you use JaceyS's Map and Compass mod. With 40 endorsements and 811 downloads, it's a small but functional cosmetic tweak for players wanting a personalized HUD.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple cosmetic upgrade that changes the look of your map arrow without affecting gameplay.
- Works alongside the popular 'Map and Compass' mod for a full compass overhaul.
- Decent download count (811) shows some interest, though it's a niche pick.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 40 endorsements—this is a low-traffic mod, so don't expect frequent updates or community support.
- Last updated in May 2024—might be outdated if the game has received patches since then.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
For players who want to tweak their HUD's map arrow without overhauling the whole UI. If you're already using JaceyS's Map and Compass, this adds a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for major UI changes or if you prefer mods with active development.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the optional compass face, make sure 'Map and Compass' is installed first, or the replacement won't show up.
- Since this is a replacer mod, back up your original files before overwriting, just in case you want to revert.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it uses loose files, you can manually drop them into your Data folder; if it's a BSA, you'll need a mod manager.
