📋 About This Mod
Smaller HUD for VR
Description
A simple mod that reduces the size of the HUD elements by about 50%.
This includes the compass, health/magicka/stamina bars, enemy healthbars, quest markers, stealth indicator, etc. I also moved the pieces around a bit so that they're less intrusive, but still accessible.
This mod does not affect the world map screen, inventory, magic, favourites menu, skills and books.
This mod is fully compatible with SkyUI VR. Other HUD mods may not be compatible, I dunno.
The following .ini tweak is necessary for the Activation UI element (talk/pick up/open door/etc) and dialogue. Put this inside your SkyrimVR.ini file (Documents\My Games\Skyrim VR); if it doesn't exist, make one.
fActivateRolloverWandScale=10. 0000
fDialogueMenuScale=22. 0000
