📋 About This Mod
Controller Interface Overhaul
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Overhauls the user-interfaces for OpenMW 0. 50 to remove many of the buttons that were not functional when using controller support, a few layouts were also rearranged to look more like the OG Xbox. The images are just a small sample of the menus, almost every interface was modified to remove leftover buttons from M&KB mode. This originally started as a modification to the barter menu so I could free up space for extra rows with a larger interface scale, then I expanded it to almost every menu.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a real pain point for controller players on OpenMW

- Recently updated (Dec 2025) so it's fresh for current OpenMW builds
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny mod with only 18 endorsements — not a lot of community testing
- Only removes buttons — doesn't add new controller-specific features or remapping
For OpenMW players who use a controller and find the leftover mouse/keyboard buttons cluttering the UI. Skip if you play with keyboard and mouse or want deeper controller customization.
