✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 2,556 endorsements and 226k downloads
- Simple visual upgrade that makes inventory sorting way easier at a glance
- Works with the popular ySI - Sorting Ycons framework
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other UI mods
- Requires ySI - Sorting Ycons as a base, so you need to install that first
- Only changes icon colors — no new icons or sorting features
For Skyrim players who want a cleaner, more color-coded inventory without overhauling the UI. If you already use ySI - Sorting Ycons, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for functional sorting changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ySI - Sorting Ycons installed first, as this mod builds on it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other UI mods.
- Check your load order — place this after ySI to ensure the colored icons take effect.
