Overview
A FOMOD provides you with options to let you customize NORDIC UI to your taste:
Depending on which Preset you've chosen, Health, Stamina, and Magicka bars are stacked together at the upper left or the lower left of your screen.
Extra bars, such as Oxygen Meter 2 and Casting Bar, can be placed both above or below the main three bars; since in vanilla Skyrim you can't attack underwater, you don't need both bars at the same time.
This lets you reposition them above the health bar for three reasons:
1. By default, the space under the stamina bar is reserved for weapon enchants and other widgets like Edryu's Widget - Nordic...ish Preset.
2. Priority-wise, it makes more sense because the character's health decreases only after the oxygen is fully depleted.
3. Aesthetically, it fills the upper gap perfectly.
There are different options included in case you need extra bars to appear at the same time. If you use mods that unlock the ability to attack underwater, you may prefer to replace one of the additional bars below the main three to keep track of all at once.
Compatibility
To maintain visual consistency, I highly recommend installing:
Casting Bar HUD Variance (Nordic)
Oxygen Meter 2 - Nordic UI like Skin
Nordic UI - Refined Meters - Oxygen Meter 2 - Casting Bar
Although these skins are not perfectly matched with NORDIC UI in detail (e.g., the angle of pointy ends), I've done my best to shape them as accurately as possible.
Not being hard requirements, with the mentioned mods, I made sure all the bars were equal in pixel count.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing (248 endorsements) and a healthy download count (22k+) show it's trusted by many.
- Tightly integrates two useful HUD elements into Nordic UI, so you don't have to juggle separate mods.
- Lightweight patch—no bloat, just the essentials for your HUD.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you're already using Nordic UI, so it's useless for anyone not on that preset.
- No mention of compatibility with other HUD mods or patches—might conflict if you stack too many UI tweaks.
- Last updated in early 2024, so it might not be up to date with the latest Nordic UI versions or game patches.
For Skyrim modders who've built their setup around Nordic UI and want a cleaner, more informative HUD with oxygen and casting feedback. Skip if you're not using Nordic UI or if you prefer a different HUD overhaul—this patch won't do anything for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Nordic UI is installed and active before adding this patch, and load it after the main UI mod in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file overwrites—this patch likely replaces some interface files.
- Test in-game by swimming or casting a spell to see if the oxygen meter and casting bar appear correctly.
