New Horizons UI - User Interface Overhaul

New Horizons began as an effort to update my original Horizons UI mod and bring it to Dear Diary Dark Mode, but very early in development I changed the underlying scheme and made some dramatic changes to it's bits and pieces. The result is a brand new mod which has it's own style and a much higher level of polish. There's still some hints of the original, notably in some new category icons based on the Horizon video games.

It is built as a replacer for Dear Diary Dark Mode by uranreactor. Dear Diary comes with an abundance of QoL improvements and support for other mods built in and is a fantastic base to build reskins on to take advantage of these features. Check it's page for more details and a compatibility list

  Installation and Requirements

  Requirements

  • []SkyUI - obviously the base for Skyrim's UI

    []Dear Diary Dark - Required as the base for the new UI skin.

    []SkyHUD - Required for the Compass reskin, and the HUD more generally if you're not planning to use TrueHUD

    []TrueHUD - Highly recommended for HUD replacement

    Installation

    • []Simply download and install this mod with your preferred mod manager. A FOMOD installer will guide you through each step and allow you to choose which parts to install (I recommend you install all the main features for visual consistency, and the Addons as needed).

    After installation, there are a few ways you can customise the appearance through the config features of Dear Diary and SkyHUD.

    []Dear Diary config can be found in interface\deardiary_dm\config.txt, check the Dear Diary Dark mod page for details of what can be configured, and the file itself explains quite clearly how it works

    []TrueHUD can be edited in it's in-game MCM

    [*]The SkyHUD config can be found in interface/skyhud/skyhud.txt, and if you're using TrueHUD you won't need to worry about many of it's options. You can however swap between the default thin compass and the black wide alternative by adjusting the value on row 56 'bAltCompass= 1' will give you the default thin compass, and 0 the black one.
