📋 About This Mod
Skyrim SE | Skyrim LE | Enderal | Enderal SE | Skyrim VR
All further updates will be made only for SE versions of my mods.
This is the paper interface replacer for almost all SkyUI menus (and most of those UI elemets that are not covered by SkyUI).
2. After installation you can open the file interface\deardiary\config.txt for enabling-disabling some options and to set transparency if you need it. There is detailed description for every option in that file.
Completely safe to install / uninstall / update mid-game (of course if using any modern mod manager).
Dear Diary is compatible with most mods, some mods are obsolete (Dear Diary has the same functions included), and even "incompatible" mods may be used without issues if you let them overwrite Dear Diary files, they just won't have a paper look or the UI will be visually inconsistent.
General rule:
Let Dear Diary overwrite EVERYTHING
