📋 About This Mod

Overview

Out of all the Skyrim UI mods I’ve tried, NORDIC UI stands out as my favorite HUD. It’s clean, stylish, and immersive.

While there’s already a patch by AceAmir to make NORDIC UI work with TrueHUD, I felt it didn’t perfectly match the original design—especially the Shout Meter, which strayed too far from NORDIC UI’s aesthetic for my taste.

Because of this, I decided to create my own patch. Using both AceAmir’s work and the original NORDIC UI as a base, I tried to recreate the authentic NORDIC UI look as closely as possible while still keeping some of the new animations that TrueHUD introduces.

Note: You don’t need to use the entire NORDIC UI mod for your setup. For example, I personally use Edge UI as my main UI mod but rely on NORDIC UI for the HUD. Feel free to mix and match UI mods to create the look you prefer.

Style Comparison

  • []Style 1: Keeps more of TrueHUD’s animations while staying true to NORDIC UI.

     []Style 2: Closer to the original NORDIC UI design.

    

If there is a demand I can remove most of the the flashing animation so it will be like the origenal NORDIC UI.
