ClanRanald21 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi guys, I have played Oblivion for over a decade because I love it so. But Skyrim, the UI, is dysfunctional, de-ranged and not fit for purpose! I have played for one hour now and feel like I can't be bothered because there is nothing to hand! where is my sword? where is a healing potion? where in fact is anything? This is one f*#@ed up game of a genre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaze Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 It's a clusterf*#@ of a UI for sure.Try the mod SkyUI for an improved experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcat221 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looks like you are primed to truly appreciate SkyUI. It's the #1 Skyrim mod of all time here on SkyNex for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClanRanald21 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thanks guys for your replies, I have downloaded Sky UI and will give it a lash! I feel my original post was maybe a bit dramatic, but going from Oblivion to Skyrim vanilla UI, was like having your keyboard language switch from English/US to ancient Hebrew! Or is it, I have played Oblivion for too long? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeddBate Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 A bit of column A and B I'd say. Yeah, you'll love SkyUI. And even better news. The Silverlock team is working on 64bit versions of both SKSE and SkyUI for the Special Edition of Skyrim. They plan on releasing betas sometime later this Spring.

phantompally76 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 And that reason has nothing to do with it being any better of a UI than vanilla, but rather because of the MCM menu that so many mods require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdcooley Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 And that reason has nothing to do with it being any better of a UI than vanilla, but rather because of the MCM menu that so many mods require.It's true that SkyUI is really two mods in one and many people get it for the MCM feature, but it was already one of the most downloaded mods even before the MCM was added.

Madcat221 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 And that reason has nothing to do with it being any better of a UI than vanilla, but rather because of the MCM menu that so many mods require. As of this post, SkyUI-Away, a fork designed by one of the SkyUI team members for those who just want MCM, has 179,473 total downloads. It does require SkyUI still to overlay on top of. SkyUI itself? 14,486,608. Two orders of magnitude more downloads. SkyUI-Away has ~1.2 % the total downloads of SkyUI. So... not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantompally76 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Irrelevant. The vast majority of mod users download SkyUI for the simple fact that so many authors have made it a requirement for their own mods (which was true long before MCM), not because they prefer its buggy, unstable menu over that of vanilla.
