[]To address performance concerns, I increased the time between updates from 0. 2s to 1 second. If you use the "multi-rings" meter you probably want to decrease it again, since these rings can only change one at a time per update.
[
]You can customize the updatePeriod setting in the new settings.ini located at Data\SKSE\plugins\SoulGauge\. The settings file is read when you load a savegame.[]All of the items are now added to inventory on game start, mod install, or version upgrade. Change the giveItems setting in the .ini to 0 to prevent this.
[]Fixed some minor bugs.
[]I have tried to keep this version compatible with previous ones and I tested on an old save with no errors, but upgrade mid-save at your own risk.
[]Added prerequisite: PapyrusUtil SE - Modders Scripting Utility Functions
New in version 1. 5:
- []Added a patch for double glow under Optional Files. Overwrites the meshes from the main file.
-
[]For shield-users or those looking for something more subtle, thumb rings and ring sets have been added. They can be crafted for free at a Blacksmith Forge.
[]These items use the same slots as the medallion (58 for left, 59 for right) and can be equipped with normal rings (might be some clipping).
New in version 1. 4:
-
[]Weapon Enchantment Charge: Purple bar shows soul charge of either left or right weapon. A vanilla bug causes the percentage to reset to 100 every time you equip an enchanted weapon, regardless of its actual charge. Enchanted Weapon Charge Fix solves that but the latest version is not compatible with VR (use 1. 1 under old files).
- Ammunition Count: Since this can't be expressed as a percentage, I opted for 2 arrows/gem (4 for the rings) on the meter. Only counts equipped ammunition.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community adoption (223,566 downloads) — clearly a must-have for VR players.
- Glowing displays are a game-changer for keeping an eye on your stats without breaking immersion.
- Covers all key stats: health, magicka, stamina, enchantment charge, and ammo — one mod does it all.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2023 — might not work with the latest Skyrim VR updates or mods.
- Requires VR to use — if you're playing flatrim, this mod is useless to you.
For Skyrim VR players who want a stylish and practical way to monitor their stats without cluttering the screen. If you're tired of looking at HUD elements and want something that feels natural in VR, this is for you. Skip if you play non-VR or prefer traditional HUDs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE VR installed — most VR mods require it, even if not listed.
- Check if the mod is compatible with your VR mod manager (like Vortex or MO2) before installing.
- Test the glow in a dark area to see if it's too bright or too dim for your taste — you might need to adjust your VR brightness settings.
