📋 About This Mod
Overview
Info: This mod should only be installed on the client side. This mod adds an user interface for equipping/using items in an easier and faster way. The menu will be visible by holding the 'G' key (can be changed). On gamepads it's the 'Use' button (X or A on Xbox Controllers) by default. (Can be changed to the 'Sit' Button or Left/Right button on the D-Pad.)
New in version 1. 5. 2: Added config entry for using Sit-Button
The new config allows you to use the 'Sit' button again as a hotkey. Just enable it in the config (UseSitButton = true).

To trigger equipping, press the left mouse button after selecting an item. (When TriggerOnClick = true)
Of course you can have both TriggerOnRelease and TriggerOnClick set to true if you want.

The mod allows also to choose a different inventory row to use for the equip wheel.
The top-left hotkey bar can be optionally disabled.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 927 endorsements and 38k downloads.
- Gamepad support is a big win for controller players.
- Recent update (Nov 2024) suggests active maintenance.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is barebones—no details on customization or keybinds.
- No mention of compatibility with other UI mods, so potential conflicts.
- No screenshots or videos in the description, making it hard to judge the look.
For players who find the default inventory clunky and want faster item switching, especially on gamepad. If you're a keyboard/mouse purist, you might not need it, but it's worth a try for smoother gameplay.
