📋 About This Mod
Better button prompts for any language. Enhanced button prompts that build upon the vanilla Xbox icons with typographical adjustments. Play your way.
Now with patch support for Icon Sorting Tags! Install the patch and make sure to load this mod after Icon Sorting Tags. If you're looking for a font replacement overhaul, you can check out my other mod. This mod works by loading the extra fonts_buttons.swf file and then calling those new fonts (aka button prompt sets) in the fontconfig. Patch support is added by changing the fontconfig files. Load this after all other font-changing mods.

](Optional) Install Vortex or MO2 if you know what you are doing[]Install all-in-one package if you have Vortex or MO2 installed, otherwise manually install your standalone package of choice into your Starfield > Data directory.

COMPATIBLE MOD RECOMMENDATIONS
--------------------------
To prevent the risk of installing mods marking your save file as "modded" and preventing achievements, I recommend installing SFSE and Baka Achievement Enabler.
