📋 About This Mod



Description

Horizons UI was the one of the first UI reskins I released, and being a 'first-try' it wasn't built with best practice in mind, being full of images instead of SVG shapes and inconsistencies in scale and quality. Having learnt a lot through working on it and other UI skins, I began work on a remake - and then Bethesda released the marketplace update, broke widescreen support as well as other things in the UI, and I decided to take a break. SkyHorizon eventually released a widescreen fix, I got some renewed motivation for modding, and I now present to you the completed remake.

Horizons UI Remake is based upon Dear Diary Dark Mode. It is not required, but as always I'd ask you to download and endorse it (though I'm guessing by now anyone modding the Skyrim UI has probably already had DDDM at some point)

Note that this falls into the category of a 'Director's Cut' (I nearly put that in the name!) which means I've very much built it to what I wanted more personally and the mods that I currently use taking priority for support. So for example my other mod Slimventory is built-in by default and the menus are made to suit unpaused menus and Show Player In Menu, though they are not required. Also I only play in standard 16:9 ratio so haven't given it any testing in widescreen formats. This doesn't mean other mods will never be supported (Quickloot IE and Dragonborn Bestiary probably won't have to wait long for example), so comment if there's any you think should be added and maybe I'll add it or maybe even someone else will release something separately.

I recommend my other mod TrueHUD Logo Collection to customise the shout icon in TrueHUD if you wish.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only tested in 16:9, so widescreen users might hit issues

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have SkyUI, SkyHUD, and TrueHUD installed first, as this mod depends on them.
  • If you use a mod manager like MO2, install this after your other UI mods to avoid conflicts.
  • Since it's built for 16:9, check your resolution settings before installing if you're on ultrawide.
