📋 About This Mod
A complete redesign of the well-known and popular interface, in the warm colors of Oblivion.
The elegant modern look of the Northern UI menu (Oblivion Style) replicates the look and feel of the official Skyrim menu while keeping the same color scheme as the vanilla Oblivion game.
What's new in 'Oblivion Style':
- Complete redrawing of interface textures in warmer colors of the vanilla game.
- Multiple changes in xml-files, to give the appropriate shades in the display of text.
- Added semi-transparency for many HUD elements (compass, clock, status indicators, etc.)
- Changed the appearance of the "hot keys selection" block - to match the interface theme.
- Correction (adding) display of the number of arrows with a bow equipped.
- You can choose from three types of cursor sizes (in percentage terms), - keep in mind that the default size is 75.
- You can change the display of crosshair and status bar for Stealth.
- You can change the appearance and location of the EnemyHealthBar - as is done in Skyrim.
- You can change the appearance of the crosshair - as done in the "Dot Crosshair" mod.
- You can change the in-game font - as done in the "Imperial Theme for NorthernUI" mod.
- An optional patch that changes the color of the text in the settings menu of the LINK mod.
- An optional patch that changes the text color in the messages and menus of the Oblivion XP Update mod.
- An optional patch that slightly corrects text color, background and scrollbar_marker for the LootMenu mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (70,895) shows it's a go-to for UI overhauls.
- Warm Oblivion colors give a nostalgic vibe that many players love.
- Active development as of early 2023, so it's likely compatible with recent Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 306 endorsements compared to downloads—some players may not have vouched for it.
- UI overhauls can conflict with other mods that modify menus—check compatibility.
For Skyrim players who miss Oblivion's warm interface and want a fresh look without changing gameplay. Perfect for modders who enjoy visual overhauls and don't mind tweaking load order. Skip if you prefer the vanilla UI or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use other UI mods, place NorthernUI lower in your load order to ensure it overrides them.
- Check the mod's posts section for any known conflicts with popular UI frameworks like SkyUI.
