This mod is aimed at making changes to the overall user interface to improve usability as well as opening options to more potential mods.
- Prevents annoying story error message box appearing when using mods
- Removes annoying reset tutorial/enable tutorials message box when entering CC
- Character Creation Layout tweaks: Redesigned Origin layout (the first screen you see when entering CC).
- Character Creation Layout tweaks: Adds full Facial Hair Colour selection.
- (Controller only) Character Creation Layout tweaks: Hides appearance options when not available, adds "all colours" tickbox for highlights.
- Hireling tweaks: Redesigned Hireling layout (makes better use of the dead space).
OPTIONAL FILE REQUIRED
- (Keyboard-only) Dialogue Tweaks - Hides the bottom-left buttons when in dialogue with companions and NPCs where Attack/Trade are not relevant. Can still be accessed by placing your mouse in the bottom-left area. This cleans up the UI when experiencing intimate scenes. (Credit: Wesslan)
