📋 About This Mod
Have you ever noticed that some icons look like stock images? Or wondered why some skill descriptions are worded so differently? What about the inconsistency... being all over the place?
NEW ICONS
Over 200+ icons have been remade, drawing from my experience for SSO. Many icons are repurposed from it - with significant tweaks. I've tried to capture the essence of vanilla, but with improvements.
IMPROVED CONSISTENCY
Over 5000+ strings has been rewritten to make them more consistent, flavourful, pleasing, and clear.
MORE DETAILS
Heists, objectives, skills, armors, deployables, throwables, and tools now have detailed information in their descriptions, with hidden gameplay elements explained.
MARKDOWNS
This mod includes completely color-coded markdowns for descriptions of skills, loadouts, and in-game chat.
UI TWEAKS
Interface have been slightly tweaked to create a more pleasant experience, and to fix bugs that present in vanilla.
FX TWEAKS
Effects have been slightly edited to work in all environments and take up marginally less screen space.
This mod isn't limited to in-game use and is supported by the following tools.
Script made by Jade
A website for skill building, leaderboards, and more. With a browser user script extension like Violentmonkey, you can customize the site's interface using markdown and icons from this mod, which can be toggled on or off individually.
WEAPON BENCH
Submitted by Jade
A supplementary tool for loadouts, with weapon stats, attachment details, and damage breakpoints and visualise the impacts of skills and attachments. Support for this mod is built into the site. You can switch between the vanilla and modded interface from the dropdown menu.
Not compatible with any other mods that replace icons, even if they are just recolors - unless the mod is specifically tailored to work with this one. It is also not compatible with any other mods that replace locres files, which are mainly used for localization, like weapon names. Additionally, text-related features only work when the game language is set to English, though localization patches can be made by others.
Special thanks to Ema Pex, pinki_ninja, SenpaiKillerFire, and Wednesday Enthusiast for their help with Unreal Engine 4. 2. 7. Also, thanks to a fish, Duke Durandil, faaskee, Jade, Larmendra, Matthelzor, Moenado, oni, 5ar4h, and Server Hater for their support.
A discontinued UI mod for Skyrim that aims to improve icon aesthetics and standardize skill descriptions, addressing blandness and inconsistency. With 23 endorsements and 1,773 downloads, it offers a niche visual and text overhaul, though it's no longer updated.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tackles a real pet peeve—icons that look like stock photos and skill text that's all over the place
- Small but dedicated following (23 endorsements) suggests it does what it says for those who find it
- Lightweight UI tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole interface, so it's easy to mix with other mods
⚠️ Cons
- Discontinued—last updated June 2025, so don't expect fixes or compatibility patches for newer Skyrim versions
- Low endorsement count (23) means it's barely tested by the community; you're the guinea pig
For Skyrim players who are bothered by inconsistent icon art and skill descriptions that read like they were written by different people. If you're a UI perfectionist who wants a cleaner, more cohesive look without a full interface overhaul, this might scratch that itch. Skip if you want gameplay changes or need an actively maintained mod.

- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily uninstall if it causes problems.
