📋 About This Mod
- -----===>) WHAT IS THIS (<===-----
- If you use the xbox360-controller with the pc-version you normally have only two hotkeys for your favourites. Those are Left and Right on the d-pad. You hold those and assign them to items, spells or shouts that way.
This file adds 6 more on the D-pad to that. The new hotkeys are:
D-pad-Up D-pad-Down LB + D-pad-Left LB + D-pad-Right LB + D-pad-Up LB + D-pad-Down
You have to enter the Favourites Menu by pressing Back on your Controller. If you want to Wait you have to press LB+Back.
For the Quicksave Function you have to press X+B. Hold X then press B. Quicksaved :) To Quickload press A+Y
Taking Screenshots happens by pressing LB+Start To Autowalk press LB+Right Stick

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 2,174 endorsements and 48,524 downloads.
- Solves a real pain point: limited hotkeys for controller users.
- Adds quicksave/quickload, which is a huge convenience for controller play.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may not work with current game versions.
- Only adds hotkeys and save functions; no other UI improvements.
For PC players who prefer using an Xbox 360 controller and want more than the default two D-pad hotkeys for favorites. Also for anyone who wants quick save/load without reaching for the keyboard. Skip if you play with mouse and keyboard or if you're on a newer game version that might break compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your controller is set up before installing; the mod only works with Xbox 360 controllers.
- Test the new hotkeys in a safe area first to avoid accidental quicksaves during combat.
- Since the mod is old, check if your game version is compatible; if not, look for community patches.
