================================================================================ ======================================================== 1. Introduction ================================================================================ ======================================================== SkyUI is mod that aims to improve Skyrim's User Interface by making it easier to use with mouse and keyboard, less wasteful of available screen space and nicer to look at. We do all that while keeping true to the style of the original UI, so new and ol d components are integrated seamlessly. It is not our goal to re-create the complete interface from scratch. Instead we try to identify and change areas that need improvement, while leaving the things that are already good alone. Further general objectives and design concepts are: * Finding a good balance between 'dumbed down' and 'information overkill'. * Easy installation and setup by providing a user-friendly installer through the Nexus Mod Manager. * Great customization support by using a seperate configuration file. * Blending features in as good as possible - players shouldn't feel reminded tha t they're using a mod. Since improving the whole UI is a big undertaking, we release only single menus at a time as we make progress. The first menu we addressed was the Inventory. In version 2.0, we included new B arter, Container and Magic menus. For a more detailed description, please see our mod description on SkyrimNexus. ================================================================================ ======================================================== 2.

Installation ================================================================================ ======================================================== We recommend using the Nexus Mod Manager to install SkyUI. It easily lets you in stall and remove the mods, and you may even pick the icon theme in the installer. Basically, there are three ways to install SkyUI: - Let NMM download and install the archive for you (recommended). - Download the archive manually and install it with NMM. - Download and install the archive manually. Choose one method: -----------------------------------------------------------a) Automatic Download with NMM -----------------------------------------------------------1.

================================================================================ ======================================================== 4. Troubleshooting ================================================================================ ======================================================== -----------------------------------------------------------Problem: There's a message on my screen, telling me that I'm missing the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE). What do I have to do? Solution: There are two things that can cause this: 1) You didn't install the Skyrim Script Extender (or you installed it incorrectly). Get it from http://skse.silverlock.org/ and follow the included instructions. 2) Everything was fine before, then Skyrim was patched to a new ver sion and the message started appearing. This is because each new patch also requires an update of SKSE. So just you'll just have to wait until that is released, then get the new version and everything should be back to normal. -----------------------------------------------------------Problem: There are dollar signs ($) in front of all words in the main menu (and in lots of other places, too)! Solution: This happens if you accidently removed 'Data/Interface/Translate_<lang uage>.txt'. The downloaded SkyUI archive contains the original versions of these files in 'SkyUI Extras/Original Translates/'. So just copy the file matching your language from there back to 'Data/In terface/'. -----------------------------------------------------------Problem: I changed something in skyui.cfg, now it's not working anymore. Solution: If you made a mistake in the config, SkyUI may stop working. In this c

ase, just revert back to the original config from the downloaded SkyUI archive. ================================================================================ ======================================================== 5. Credits & Acknowledgements ================================================================================ ======================================================== Besides the SkyUI team itself, there are other people as well who helped signifi cantly to make this mod a reality. In the following they are listed by name, including a list of their contribution s. Kratos: Was a core member of the SkyUI team until version 2.1 and as such contri buted significantly to the project in various areas. ianpatt: Added lots of new functions to the Skyrim Script Extender, that greatly helped us during development and enabled new features that would otherwise be impossible. behippo: Helped improving/advancing the interface extensions plugin by decoding t he game classes and giving us access to them through SKSE. Gibbed: Created the 'gibbed interface extensions' SKSE plugin, which makes more game data available for display in the inventory. Also allowed us to bundle his container categorization plugin. As of ver sion 2.1, both these plugins have been included in SKSE itself. Indie: Created our trailer and helps with QA and user support. GreatClone: Created an amazing set of alternative category icons. Gopher: Did most of the work on the NMM installer, created an installation tutor ial video and promoted SkyUI on his YouTube channel. Lojack: Created a BCF (including an installation wizard) for SkyUI to improve th e installation experience for Wyre Bash users. Also added an auto-conversion feature to Wyre Bash itself so this BCF is automatically applied. Ismelda: Provided configs for very high resolutions used with multi-monitor setup s. Wakeupbrandon: His mock-up inspired the overall layout of the new inventory. Thanks to all the testers, who helped a great deal with improving the overall qu

ality of this mod: ToJKa, HellKnight, xporc, MadCat221, Ismelda, Gribbles, freesta, Cartrod us, TheCastle (in random order) Last but not least, thanks to the whole SKSE team, because without their Script Extender creating this mod wouldn't have been possible. ================================================================================ ======================================================== 6.
