Credits
PO3 for writing the original Oxygen Meter, helping me wrap my head around c++ and cmake and looking over my code.
Shrimperator for being incredibly patient with me and answering my dumb questions and just being generally wobbly.
wSkeever for creating the video, thumbnail and being supportive as always.
Ryan for CommonLib.
Further Info
For modders, menu name is oxygenMeter2 if you want to use UI. Invoke on it or use HideMenu/ShowMenu console command.
Menu displays oxygenMeter2.swf, so if you want to skin it you should edit that. You can get the .fla from the source link below, or edit in jpex if you're more comfortable with that.
This is my first attempt at a SKSE plugin, so while I've tested it a good amount and I don't think there should be any issues, if you do have any please let me know.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 10,473 endorsements and 3.7M downloads.
- Lightweight UI mod that doesn't overhaul gameplay, just adds a helpful meter.
- Active development as of February 2024, so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so you'll need to set that up first if you haven't already.
- Only affects underwater oxygen display—no other UI changes, so it's niche.
For Skyrim players who spend time underwater and want a clearer oxygen readout. Perfect for those who already use SKSE and want a simple UI improvement. Skip if you're looking for broader UI overhauls or don't care about underwater mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via skse_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the plugin and ensure load order is correct.
- If you're using other UI mods, test for conflicts—Scaleform mods can clash if not properly patched.
