========================================================
1. Introduction
================================================================================
========================================================
SkyUI is a 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.
* Blending features in as well as possible - players shouldn't feel reminded tha
t they're using a mod.
* Support for user customization.
Since improving the whole UI is a big undertaking, we only release single menus
at a time as progress is made.
The first menu we addressed was the Inventory. In version 2.0, we included new B
arter, Container and Magic menus.
Version 3.0 introduced an in-game configuration menu for mods. The most recent a
ddition was the Favorites menu in version 4.0.
For a more detailed description, please see our mod description on Skyrim Nexus.

3. Installation
================================================================================
========================================================
------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
If you were using SkyUI 2.2 or older,
you MUST remove it before installing the new version.
See section 4 for instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------
There are several ways to install SkyUI:
- Subscribe to SkyUI on Steam Workshop.
- Let the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) download and install the archive for you.

- Download and install the archive manually.
Pick the method you prefer.
------------------------------------------------------------
a) Subscribe on Steam Workshop
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Go to http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=8122 and click su
bscribe.
2. The next time you start the Skyrim Launcher, SkyUI will be downloaded and ins
talled automatically.
OR
------------------------------------------------------------
b) Automated Download with NMM
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Click the 'Download with manager' button on top of the file.
2. SkyUI will appear in in NMM's Mods list once it's downloaded. Double-cli
ck the SkyUI entry to activate it.
OR
------------------------------------------------------------
c) Manual Download with NMM
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start NMM and click on 'Mods'.
2. In the left icon bar, click on 'Add Mod From File' and select the downlo
aded archive file.
3. SkyUI will now appear in the list. Double-click the entry to activate it
.
OR
------------------------------------------------------------
d) Manual Installation
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Locate the 'Data/' folder in your Skyrim installation directory.
Typically it's found at 'Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/Dat
a/'.
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded archive file to the 'Data/' folde
r.
3. In the Skyrim Launcher, select 'Data Files' and enable 'SkyUI.esp'.
================================================================================
========================================================
4. Uninstallation
================================================================================
========================================================
The uninstallation method depends on which SkyUI version you were using before a
nd how you installed it.
Any SkyUI version older than 3.0 (this includes alpha builds) has to be removed
before upgrading.
For details, see the following instructions that match your current SkyUI versio
n/installation method.
------------------------------------------------------------
NMM installation / Any SkyUI version
------------------------------------------------------------
In NMM's mod list, search for the SkyUI entry and deactivate the mod.
------------------------------------------------------------
Steam workshop / Any SkyUI version
------------------------------------------------------------
Unsubscribe from the mod and deactivate it in Skyrim Launcher (if you haven't al
ready).
There, you can also completely remove it by highlighting it and pressing 'Delete
Selected'.
------------------------------------------------------------
Manual installation / SkyUI 2.2 or older
------------------------------------------------------------
If you installed the SkyUI files manually, then you also have to remove them man
ually.
So view the contents of the SkyUI archive you are using, locate each file at its
install location and remove it.
To revert your interface folder to its original state, you can delete the 'Inter
face/' directory from Skyrim's 'Data/' folder
and then use Steam to restore any original files you removed in the process by f
ollowing these steps:
(Backup your interface folder before deleting it in case anything goes wrong)
1. Locate Skyrim in Steam's game library.
2. Open the properties dialog and select the 'Local files' tab.
3. Verify integrity of game cache.
Be aware, that this will break any other mods that installed files to the interf
ace folder. You will have to re-install them.
------------------------------------------------------------
Manual installation / SkyUI 3.0 and newer
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Locate the 'Data/' folder in your Skyrim installation directory.
It's typically found at 'Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/Dat
a/'.
2. Delete 'SkyUI.esp' and 'SkyUI.bsa' from the data folder.
------------------------------------------------------------
SkyUI 3.0 alpha versions
------------------------------------------------------------
Before removing any files, it is recommended to make a 'clean' save game with Sk
yUI deactivated.
1. Start the Skyrim Launcher and select 'Data Files'.
2. Search 'SkyUI.esp' and uncheck it.
(If you don't have this file, there's no need for a clean save anyway an
d you can skip it)
3. In-game, load your latest save, then save the game again.
4. This new save game is now cleaned of SkyUI data.
You can now proceed to uninstall the files.
The 3.0 alpha packages contained loose script files required by mod authors to c
reate configuration menus.
Make absolutely sure to remove these files, because they will override any newer
scripts in SkyUI.bsa.
1. Locate the 'Scripts/' folder in your Skyrim data directory.
It's typically found at 'Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/Dat
a/Scripts/'.
2. Delete any script files (.pex) that start with SKI_, for example
SKI_ConfigBase.pex, SKI_Main.pex, etc.
3. Delete 'SkyUI.esp' and 'SkyUI.bsa' from the data folder if present.
================================================================================
========================================================
5. Troubleshooting
================================================================================
========================================================
------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: There's an error message, reporting "SKYUI ERROR CODE X"...
See https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/wiki/SkyUI-Errors for potential problem
s and their solutions.
------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: There are dollar signs ($) in front of all words in the main menu (and
in lots of other places, too)!
This happens if you accidently removed 'Data/Interface/Translate_<language>.txt'
.
To restore it, use Steam to verify the integrity of Skyrim's game-cache
(Steam -> Library -> Properties of Skyrim -> Local files tab -> Verify integrity
of game cache).
------------------------------------------------------------
Problem: There are mods missing from my MCM list. Is there anything I can do abo
ut it?
Before starting to reinstall mods, you can try to run a repair script we added i
n SkyUI 3.2.
To do this, open the console and enter "setStage SKI_ConfigManagerInstance 1" (w
ithout the quotes).
If your problem wasn't listed here, ask for help in the Nexus comments.

Besides the SkyUI team itself, there are other people as well who helped signifi
cantly to make this mod a reality.

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.

Provided configs for very high resolutions used with multi-monitor setup
s.
Wakeupbrandon:
His mock-up inspired the overall layout of the new inventory.
