🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install NorthernUI through it to manage load order easily.
Check for compatibility patches if you use other UI mods, as NorthernUI may overwrite them.
Test the controller support separately first to ensure it works before enabling the full UI overhaul.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust with 7,549 endorsements and over half a million downloads.
- Kills two birds with one stone: gives you a Skyrim-style UI and native controller support.
- Controller support is a game-changer for playing Oblivion on a big screen or with a controller.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest Oblivion patches or mods.
- UI overhauls can conflict with other mods that modify the same interface elements.
- The Skyrim-style UI might not appeal to purists who prefer the original Oblivion look.
