Skyrim SkyUI: fashion, installation, recommendations and feedback. SkyUI for Skyrim in Russian

Despite all the vastness and versatility of the game world of TES: Skyrim, the interface version for the PC is no different from the console version, which is one big drawback.

About Skyrim SkyUI

The company Bethesda, called in common parlance as "Arbor", gave birth to such masterpieces as Fallout, Call of Duty, was not in a hurry to implement especially the promise in one of the interviews about the improvement of the game interface for the PC version of the game, but stopped at the cross- Projects.

The group of modmakers decided not to wait for the manna of heaven, and SkyUI's global SkyRight mod saw the light. The entire inventory system was subjected to complete processing.

• The categorization of items is now displayed in the form of icons, rather than boring accustomed gray inscriptions.
• The typing of objects is also represented by convenient labels.
• Fonts are optimized and reduced, which allows you to cover more items in inventory.
• Additional characteristics of objects in the inventory are prescribed.
• The possibility of sampling and ordering according to the indexes of objects is added.
• Enchanted items, poisoned swords and arrows, as well as stolen items have now separate marks for easy search in inventory.
• The ability to search for a specific item by name (only in the English version of Skyrim SkyUI). Very convenient moment. Perhaps, this item is the only difference SkyUI for "Skyrim" in Russian from the English-speaking counterpart.
• The possibility of customizing the interface based on the screen resolution of the player is worked out.

Script Extension

In order for the SkyUI modes (and not only) to function correctly, a so-called scripting extender called Skyrim Script Extender was developed (abbreviated SKSE), when downloading a new mod from the Internet, it is necessary to pay attention to the requirements. Most often, the above mentioned SKSE is required for correct operation.

Installation is extremely simple: just copy the plugin to the root directory and run it. All subsequent fashions must be installed through it, and afterwards run "Skyrim". SkyUI for 1.9.32.0 * - the most current version for correct operation of both plug-in and mods. As you can see, nothing complicated.

When selecting various updates, it's necessary to search for the SkyUI SkyRays mods, because they are made up taking into account the presence of these modifications. The absence of the SkyUI and SKSE components in the modification code can lead to incorrect game performance. At startup, a message will appear that notifies that there are no necessary components for correct functioning. This indicates not only the removal of some components, but also the installation of an outdated fashion that did not provide for the use of SkyUI and scripting extender.

"Skyrim." SkyUI Mod. 4.1. Advantages and disadvantages

Version 4.1 was released at the end of 2011 and is considered the "good" mode that the players were waiting for. With the elimination of many bugs, bugs and hangs.

Creating SkyUI 4.1, like any other mod, the developers pursued the goal of optimizing the already existing game interface, rather than recreating it from the very beginning. For example, a very important innovation was the appointment of hot keys not only for each weapon, but for whole sets.

There was a menu for trading and containers (boxes, bags and other items):

• There are two tabs that show the contents of the merchant and the player. Displays the total weight of the items carried.
• Corrected the display of some inventory keys.
• There is a manual formatting of the names of objects.
• A bug with a gamepad that was to select the wrong item when scrolling was fixed.
• Changed and the spell menu, it is now in the lower left corner, is a collection of intuitive icons according to the schools of magic. It is possible to arrange spells by the level of required magic, damage, level and time of rollback.
• The map menu allows you to search among open locations, and the "favorites" function still allows you to access the registry of the most necessary things with a single click.

According to reviews of players, there were errors in the display of enchanted objects: a mark meaning enchantment of a weapon was present only if there is a charge in the weapon. In the absence of charges, the label was not displayed.

The installation required a version of the game 1.9 and above, as well as the availability of SKSE.

Continuation of tradition

• The presence of additional icons indicating books (read or not).
• It is in this version implemented the above-mentioned search for the name of the subject (as modmakers say, the search correction for the Russian version is also around the corner).
• The ability to customize the interface for playing on multiple monitors is developed: the icons and columns of the menu can be transferred to the player's convenient places.
• Columns can be hidden and returned again.
• Added a number of settings for entering text in the mods configuration menu.
• Corrected the structure in the alchemy menu, incorrectly displayed the list of effects.
• Also partially corrected was the error that incorrectly displayed the required level of the required spirit for completely unfilled soul stones. The developers announced the final adjustment of this bug on the release of the new SKSE.

For the successful operation of the game and unforgettable impressions of traveling through the expanses of the terrain called Skyrim SkyUI 5.1 requires:

• Availability of SKSE version 1.7.3 or higher.
• The game version is 1.9.32 or higher.

Bugs and Tips

According to the established trend, each player tries to maximize the game to the most desired form. It is thanks to this that developers of numerous mods work tirelessly. However, do not forget that "the game is not rubber." According to the Internet guides, the game has its own limit. In other words, if you install a huge number of mods, the contents of the memory will overflow, which will lead to corruption of the save files. When you download to the screen will "fall out" (literally) the script line.

Eliminates quite simply: just do not get carried away by "wrapping" the mods of your favorite game.

Another important, but well-known error of a global nature, which has become the tradition of all the games from Bethesda, is the so-called crashes. The problem is observed in 90% of the players, but you can not say that this is the norm. There are many versions of this problem: from template stamping of games to developers to individual settings of each player's personal computer. Every opinion about the causes of the bug has its own weight, but not everyone claims to be true.

For the most part it is solved with the help of patch Skyrim Memory Patch.

Tips for fashion lovers

Before installing the mods, it is recommended that you read the contents of the ReadMe file. If something is not clear in the description - it is better not to install.

Do not get involved in installing mods, it is better to choose the most necessary and most important.

If there is no translation of the supplement, it is desirable to download a fan translation, there are very high-quality versions.

In the course of the game, it is not recommended to change the order of mods or delete them, since after downloading the saves, there may be problems with the game, because the script extender will request the missing modifications in which the scripts were provided. Before "winding" the game with mods, it is recommended to save the configurations in a separate folder, thus creating a return point. If the game still be spoiled by mods, it's better to resort to the recovery point.

If official add-ons are installed (Dragonborn, Dawnguard or Hearthfire), you should look for mods that provide for such.

To install some modifications, you need a special mod manager, without it the game will not work correctly.

A few nuances when installing modifications

It is not recommended to install mods aimed at changing the same things in the game. This will lead to "layering" one fashion to another, as a result of the correct functioning of the game will have to be forgotten.

The setup manager is usually stored in the fomod folder. If the archive contains this folder, this is a hint on how to install the mod.

And yet, how to install SkyUI on Skyrim? Most mods are installed in the Skyrim \ Data folder. In any case, it is advisable to thoroughly study the description in the readme file, especially if the mod needs to be installed in some other one.

If you can not connect the plug-in (esp / esm) neither through the "Files" in the launcher, nor through the mods manager, it is recommended to open the SkyrimPrefs.ini file with a notepad and register the line bEnableFileSelection = 1 in the [Laubcher] section.

When downloading mods, you should pay attention to the mark RU, so denote Russian-language fashion or localization.

It is necessary to understand the structure of the game files:

• The Meshes folder contains the models used in the game.
• Scripts - there are scripts used in mods.
• In the section SKSE lie the archive files of modifications developed for the screnerator.
• The Sound folder contains sounds of nature and everything that can produce sound in the game. Yes, there are separate modes, providing for changing the sound accompaniment in the game.
• Strings - documents containing texts of the game itself or mods.
• The Textures folder stores graphic textures. There are a number of global modifications that imply the processing of images, called "retextual fashion."
• The Video catalog contains videos and game screensavers.

Conclusion

It should be noted that to get pleasure from the game, "wrapped" by mods, it is necessary to understand how all this works and what is required for installation. The requirements for this game are as follows:

• Availability of licensed version of Skyrim and official add-ons: Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn.
• The game version should be 1.9.32 or higher.
• The presence of a mod manager (different modmakers offer different versions of these programs, which one to use - choose the player himself).
• It is advisable to have software that identifies the presence of incompatible mods and broken plug-ins (usually LOOT or BOSS).
• Of course, the SKSE screnerator.
• And, of course, a common understanding of the meanings and functions of each fashion to be installed.

Do not forget that a large number of mods will lead to an increase in system requirements. Therefore, if suddenly the game began to hang in those places where this was not the case earlier, you should think about the optimization of the game process according to the capabilities of the personal computer. Because of this, a number of players still prefer the classic version of the game, rather than using Skyrim SkyUI.
