📋 About This Mod
Description
This is a Dear Diary Dark Mode patch for RaceMenu to be used with the Dynamic Interface Patcher (DIP) by Cutleast. This file does not contain any assets of the RaceMenu creator expired6978!
DRIP was just a proof of concept for dynamic SWF patching, so Cutleast used what he learned from it to create a universal interface patcher. Just like DRIP, this Patcher performs the patching, a normal UI-modder would do, automatically based on steps written to a json file.
To patch RaceMenu with this patch:
1. Install DIP from here as a regular mod in Vortex or MO2
2. Add the DIP executable as a tool
3. Install this patch using MO2 or Vortex.
4. Start DIP.exe and choose paths (first one should be auto-detected and second one is only necessary if the mod is not at the same location).
5. Click on "Patch!".
6. After success, a message box appears and DIP can be deactivated.
No redistribution of copyrighted assets!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (341) shows the community digs it
- Tight integration with DIP means no visual clashes if you're already using that UI overhaul
- Frequent updates (last touched August 2023) keep it relevant
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you're already running Dear Diary Dark Mode – otherwise it's dead weight
- Niche appeal: if you're not into dark UI themes, this patch does nothing for you
- Potential conflicts with other RaceMenu UI overhauls – always check your load order
For Skyrim players who've committed to the Dear Diary Dark Mode aesthetic and want RaceMenu to blend in seamlessly. If you're using a different UI overhaul or prefer the vanilla look, skip this – it's purely a compatibility patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Dear Diary Dark Mode and RaceMenu installed before adding this patch, or it won't work.
- Load this patch after RaceMenu and DIP in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement – manual installs can cause conflicts.
