DarNified UI is a free mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion open-world RPG, the fourth game in the Elder Scrolls series. This popular gaming series includes several favourites, such as Skyrim and Skyrim SE. DarNified gives Oblivion's UI a facelift to overhaul its ageing appearance.

Since it's an old game, it doesn't offer the same benefits as newer RPGs, but DarNified UI helps by giving it a more modern UI. The mod tweaks the oversized UI, which was originally optimised for Xbox. Some noticeable gaming improvements include smaller fonts, refined in-game setting adjustments, scaled user controls, and a better heads up HUD display.

Makes better use of your screen space

The popularity of The Elder Scrolls series is partly owed to great interactive and immersive experiences, which DarNified UI enhances even further. It displays better on PCs, thanks to a more intuitive interface. The mod improves small technical details that make big differences. It displays subtitles more appropriately, reduces font sizes, and makes finding items in your inventory easier.

Easy to install and easy to use

After installing DarNified UI, you'll find many easy-to-use improvements, including:

• an enlarged map
• oversized fonts no longer use all your screen space
• HUD elements are compressed smaller
• shorter inventory and spell lists with smaller fonts and icons

These small changes result in more immersive gameplay and better optimisation for viewing the game on PC monitors instead of Xbox displays.

Modest improvements

Gameplay with the PC version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is buggy at times. Even though Bethesda released several updates to patch known bugs and glitches, it didn't address all the issues. DarNified UI targets the most prevalent shortcomings by improving and enhancing the user interface, but not so much that it strays too far from the original UI.
