Sometimes it's the small little things that make a difference. Skyrim Interface Makeover or SIM is my idea of what Skyrim should look like. Instead of being an out-of-place mash-up between modern interface and medieval fantasy game this mod will strike at the heart of your quest journal with great vengeance and furious anger and turn it into something actually immersive. Now immersing yourselves in the quest journal is an option!

  • For Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has been ported or use the original version with compatibility patches.
