📋 About This Mod
I got tired of trying to peer through the huge subtitles display to see the faces of sitting NPCs, or having the bar and text cover most of my forward view as I spoke with NPCs. Using mods such as Fuz-Ro D'oh and dialog mods that are not fully voiced, subtitles are necessary and unavoidable.
This is a simple edit to the VR HUD that repositions and scales down the subtitles display.
The scale of the display has been decreased to 75% of normal and positioned lower in the HUD.
The only file edited is the interface/vr/vr_hmd_info.swf to change the scaling and position of the container frame for the subtitles.
This mod will be incompatible with any other mod that alters the interface/vr/vr_hmd_info.swf file.

UI Extensions
I run UI Extensions in VR with the latest SkyUI-vr and SKSEVR that is necessary for several mods.
A simple VR HUD edit for Skyrim VR that shrinks and repositions the subtitle display to 75% scale and lower in the view, so you can see NPC faces during dialogue. Requires SKSEVR and SkyUI-VR for full functionality, and conflicts with any mod that edits the same SWF file.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real VR annoyance—huge subtitles blocking your view of NPCs (158 endorsements)
- Simple, single-file edit that's easy to install and remove
- Works with popular dialogue mods like Fuz-Ro D'oh that need subtitles
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with any other mod that touches vr_hmd_info.swf, so check your load order
- Requires SKSEVR and SkyUI-VR to work properly, which adds setup steps
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim VR versions
For Skyrim VR players who use unvoiced dialogue mods and are tired of subtitles blocking their view. If you play with fully voiced mods or don't mind the default subtitle size, you can skip this.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSEVR and SkyUI-VR installed first, or the HUD might not display correctly.
- Since this mod edits a SWF file, avoid using other mods that change the same file—check your mod manager for conflicts.
- Test the new subtitle position in a conversation with an NPC to see if it's comfortable for your VR setup.
