VERSION 1. 1. 44
Changes/Fixes
- Ported to SSE with permission by Dark Dominion.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
skse64 and MCM Menu ( SkyUI 5. 2SE ) are required to use this mod.
COMPATIBILITY
- Highly recommended to use Immersive HUD II by Gopher for additional HUD tweaks, behaviors and toggle options.
INCOMPATIBILITIES:
- Any mod that modifies the hudmenu.swf / hudmenu.gfx file
- Colored markers are ok, as long as the changes are made in map.swf
- Still the compass markers are inside the hudmenu file, so colored compass markers is not an option.
FAQ:

A. Press the . key on your NumPad, it will change the stepping from 0. 5, 1. 0, 10. 0 units
Q. Is there a way to save a preset to use with another character
A. yes, Use the FISSES optional file
Q. My computer does not have a NumPad, can I still use this mod?
A. Yes you can, there is an option to remap the keys, look for it in the advanced tab.
Optional Files:
- FISS/FISSES Compatibility to save settings
INSTALLATION
Use a Mod Manager ( Vortex, NMM, MO... )
Or, download and place both the .esp and .bsa files in your Skyrim data folder.
If you are also installing any of the optional modification files, copy those files in your Skyrim data folder keeping the file structure.
USAGE
This mod uses fixed keys for editing the HUD, those keys are all located in the NumPad of your keyboard.
There is a predefined PRESET defined by me that you can use if you don't wanna mess with every single HUD element yourself.
Just go to the menu and select the option LOAD PRESET
Some other options are self explanatory and are located in the MCM menu, such as transparencies and optional variants of HUD elements.
