📋 About This Mod

This is a patch collection for Character Menu SE and the Simonrim mod suite

Available Patches

Hand to Hand - An Adamant Addon

  • []Replaces the existing icons with appropriate ones for Hand to Hand.[/]

Apprentice - A Class Overhaul + Hand to Hand 

  • []Everything listed above +[/]

    []Adjusts the class logic to show which class you have selected in Apprentice. There is also a new field on the menu for your chosen trait.[/]

    Apprentice - A Class Overhaul + Hand to Hand - Lowercase Name

    • []Same as above, except the name is lowercase letters with only the first letter capitalized[/]

      Other Changes

      I have also included a couple of minor changes to the base mod.

      • []The armor rating shown in the menu should now match your armor rating reported in your inventory when under the effects of a spell that enhances armor rating[/]

        []I tweaked some of the code that freezes NPCs so that they don't appear to restart from a standstill when running after you open the character menu near them.[/]

        []I also made a small adjustment to prevent NPCs from randomly dying or going into a down state when you open the character menu near them.[/]

      Suggestions

      If you are using the vanilla/skyUI tween menu I highly suggest using another one of my mods, Simple Tween Menu Hotkey. This will let you open the Character Menu from the Tween Menu.

      It replaces the swf and DLL sent with Character Menu SE, so make sure its files overwrites those from Character Menu.

      This is essentially a fork of Character Menu SE at this point. My changes to source code can be found here

      Jelidity - for the original perk tree art that these icons are based off of

      Simonmagus - for making cool mods

      JPSteel2 - For having the Character Menu FLA source available, and for having permissions set up to allow patches like this

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This patch updates Character Menu SE to work with the Simonrim mod suite, swapping in proper icons for Hand to Hand and adding support for Apprentice classes and traits. A niche compatibility fix for players using both mods, with 203 endorsements and frequent updates.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have both Character Menu SE and the Simonrim suite installed before adding this patch, or it won't do anything.
  • Load this patch after the main mods in your mod manager to ensure the icon replacements take effect.
  • If you use other UI mods that touch the same icons, test in-game to see if they conflict—this patch expects a clean slate.
