# Improved UI [Nexus Link](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/366) Only downloaded base file - no optionals downloaded for [[Golden Death ALT Skull version|Dice mod]] --- <p align="middle"> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/6Zso95t.png"> </p> #### Description This mod is aimed at making changes to the overall user interface to improve usability as well as opening options to more potential mods. #### Player Features - Prevents annoying story error message box appearing when using mods <p float="left" align="middle"> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/dm5CsPu.png"> </p> - Removes annoying reset tutorial/enable tutorials message box when entering CC <p float="left" align="middle"> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/piE3sv3.jpg"> </p> - Unlocks edit appearance option for all Origin characters in Character Creation. - Character Creation Layout tweaks: Redesigned Origin layout (the first screen you see when entering CC). - Magic Mirror tweaks: Allows all combinations to hit confirm. May need to hit randomise once before making changes. - Hireling tweaks: Redesigned Hireling layout (makes better use of the dead space). - <b>OPTIONAL FILE REQUIRED</b> Switches "Show all items" (highlighting all interactables, default left ALT key/right stick) from requiring a held input to an on/off switch. Works for both Keyboard and Controller - switching between the two input methods when enabled would cause an additional toggle to be required. Stays on UI change (such as game menu/dialogue) except when showing other tooltips. (Credit: Violet-Vibes) <b>OPTIONAL FILE REQUIRED</b> Keyboard-only 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) - Replaces existing Minimap with smaller version (75% zoom, takes up less space on screen) or no Minimap (leaving the relevant buttons). <p float="left" align="middle"> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/cMii97G.jpg"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/hElvnJR.jpg"> </p> #### Modder Features - Character Creation Layout tweaks: Removes head scroll limit (Credit: Alana) - Character Creation Layout tweaks: Removes appearance tab restrictions allowing for modded slot use. (ex: Origin Hairstyles, Humans with tails) - Character Creation Layout tweaks: Changes Dragonborn Sorcerer Draconic Ancestry to allow for additional scale types. - Character Creation Layout tweaks: Allows for Feat selection once unlocked by another mod. Tip - "Allowimprovement" doesn't work on its own. - CC/Level up Layout tweaks: Adds multiple scroll bars to Origins, Races, Subraces, Classes, Subclasses, Deity and Background selection for better support with modded options. - CC/Level up Layout tweaks: Changes passive selection to turn into a scroll option when modded options are added - such as modded Eldritch Invocations. (Credit: Winterbrick) - CC/Level up Layout tweaks: Changes Feat panel to have additional scroll options to support modded Feats with long descriptions and multiple options. (Credit: Lostsoul) - Hireling tweaks: Adds multiple scroll bars to Hireling selection for better support with modded options. #### <b>OPTIONAL FILE REQUIRED</b> Custom Asset Features - Supports modded class/subclass icons, with a generic icon given to mods without a provided icon. - Dynamic support for class/subclass icons that have not been provided, the image name would need to match the class/subclass name in classdescriptions.lsx. (Credit: LaughingLeader) - Supports modded race/subrace icons, including custom names for Subraces such as Dragonborn. - Supports modded action resource icons for Keyboard - Hotbar, Tooltips and CC/Levelup. - Supports modded action resource icons for Controller - Tooltips, Action Radial "Cost:", Action Radial bottom resource bar and CC/Levelup. - Dynamic support for action resource icons that have not been provided and fallback support when no entries are provided for CC/Levelup and Action Radial bottom resource bar. - Better handling of action resources without icons, with placeholder stars added to each section and counted on Keyboard Hotbar.
