📋 About This Mod
This mod is provided AS IS
I have a penchant for going missing for months or even years on end. As such, please do not rely on me for support. Any request is also unlikely to be heard. You have to solve any compatibility issue on your own as I simply do not have the capacity to help you. You will find support among fellow users, please treat each other well. For common issues and questions, please refer to the stickied post.
FEATURES
- Hide, scale, move and remove HUD elements
- Alternative HUD elements - dot crosshair, ammo display, slim compass, left-aligned health and stamina meter, combined charge meter
- Font mod support
- Standalone compass markers for compatibility with marker mods
- Better tracking for animated letters
HOW IT WORKS
Customization is done by editing skyhud.txt file located in “%Skyrim%\Data\Interface\skyhud” folder. The config file is formatted to be similar with Skyrim’s INI files like Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini.
For a list of possible configurations consult the included reference manual and see section. I'm a bit too lazy to update the manual so be sure to consult the patch note for undocumented settings as well.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 8,254 endorsements and over 326k downloads.
- Full control over HUD elements—toggle, scale, and reposition to your liking.
- Comes with handy presets like a dot crosshair and slim compass for a cleaner look.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE or AE versions.
- Requires SkyUI and SKSE to function, which adds setup steps.
- No in-game configuration menu—you'll need to edit INI files or use MCM if available.
For Skyrim players who want a customizable HUD without heavy overhauls. If you're tired of the default compass or want a minimal crosshair, this is your mod. Skip if you're on Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, as this is for Legendary Edition only.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE and SkyUI installed first—SkyHUD won't work without them.
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of your HUD mods and avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's INI files to tweak element positions if you want a truly custom layout.
