Is There A Simple UI Mod?

[Inafog]

I would like to have more than 6 inventory items appear at a time and generally to have a smaller typeface in the various screens. Is there a mod that does this but does not make any other major changes in the game?

Darnified UI does exactly that. Most of it just allows smaller fonts with more space to view the inventory, less screenspace taken up. It's pretty much Vanilla UI but cleaner and less clunky.

 

Someone also made a dark colour-scheme of it here, if you're interested. You're probably looking for the first link, though.

Thank you. Darnified UI certainly looks good, but the installation seems formidable. Will it all go in neatly if I use NMM and BOSS? (My modding skils are very slight.)

No problem! And yeah, modding's got quite a lot of stuff to learn about.

 

Installation's pretty easy if you've got Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) installed. It's an automated process in that case. I haven't used NMM before, but this mod won't work with NMM, given the stuff that would otherwise have to be rewritten manually. I'd recommend getting OBMM in addition to anything else, since some modders only offer automated OMOD installers. Easy to use, and you'll probably need to use OBMM eventually.

 

As for BOSS, all BOSS does is sort plugins and master files. BOSS just helps make things more stable (if you have a lot of mods), and makes them easier to manage.

 

Anyway, Wrye Bash also has a port for it's "BAIN" automated installer. Bash might take a while to get used to; complex, but really powerful.

 

Though if you don't want to use OBMM or Wyre Bash (I used to use both, for the aforementioned reasons), then you'll just have to stick with manually installing the mod.

 

Sorry about all the abbreviations. Must get kind of confusing, heh.
