📋 About This Mod
Patches Knotwork to use with Dear Diary Dark Mode and Paper, along with the the necessary color changes.
Install this mod and let it overwrite Knotwork and DDDM (or the Squish Fixes if you have it).
Thanks to Jelidity for the patching guide, this was relatively easy to make.
This was made with Dear Diary DM and Paper (Squish) Fixes as base, so the squish fix should be included. (But of course, it's still required for every other UI.) Although on that note, I'm not sure how this will behave on older game version, so if you're on a version older than 1. 6. 1130 and the quest journal looks weird to you, let me know and I'll upload another patch.
A UI patch that makes Knotwork by Jelidity compatible with Dear Diary Dark Mode (warm/white) and Paper. With 239 endorsements and 66,103 downloads, it's a popular compatibility fix for players using these UI overhauls.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 239 endorsements and over 66k downloads
- Solves a real headache—mixing UI mods without a patch usually breaks things
- Regularly updated, so it's likely to keep working with current mod versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you're already using both Knotwork and Dear Diary—otherwise it's dead weight
- No detailed feature list, so you're trusting the author's word on what it fixes
- Compatibility risk if you're using other UI mods beyond the stated ones
For Skyrim players who love Knotwork's aesthetic but also want Dear Diary's dark mode or paper look. If you're not running both mods, skip this—it does nothing for you. Perfect for UI tinkerers who want that specific combo without conflicts.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after both Knotwork and Dear Diary are active, then let your mod manager overwrite files as needed.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, deploy and check for conflicts—this patch should win over the base mods.
- Test in-game after installing to ensure the UI elements align correctly; if something looks off, reinstall the patch and check load order.
