NORDIC UI - START MENU PATCHES AND FIXES
Reskins Nordic UI's start menu with an assortment of patches for other mods. Includes cleaned menu and bordered logo options as well as a fix for the missing background for Anniversary Edition users. The start menu has been centered in all files.
The Clean Start Menu options serve as an unofficial update to Sakatsuky's Clean Start Menu for newer Skyrim versions, fixing the missing Quit button by remaking the cleaned menu from scratch. The Bordered Logo options add a transparent, offset border to the game logo to improve readability against white/light backgrounds, to be used with wallpaper replacers such as my own Lore-Friendly Main Menu Compendium.
Most patches are available in my Assorted Nordic UI Tweaks and Patches. They're hosted here separately for convenience.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Nordic UI installed first, then drop this mod in and let it overwrite the start menu files.
- If you use a mod manager, let this load after Nordic UI to ensure the decluttered menu takes effect.
- Check the mod's posts for any user reports about conflicts with other UI mods before adding it to your load order.
