After the "Anniversary Update" of Skyrim SE most mods stopped working for one reason or the other, and while a big portion of them has been patched, some of them are not being update anymore: one of these mods is Hide SkyUI. This is why I decided to find an alternative-I mean, make one myself!


The SkyUI team did an immense job and I am surely not here to deny that, but let's be honest: some of us simply grew too used to the vanilla menus and would like to keep using them (or simply don't like the 'SkyUI' take on the matter). This mod does exactly what the aforementioned "Hide SkyUI" did - give you back that vanilla look on menus - but using a slightly different approach.


Features:
- comes as an "ESPFE" (or 'ESLified' ESP) plugin, so no precious ESP slots used
- files are packed in a .bsa (unpacked version provided anyway)
- "Favorites Menu" is not reverted (since the vanilla one is a complete disorganized mess)
- "Map" page is not reverted
- all of the other menus are reverted to vanilla
- [update] now also available as "full vanilla" version!


Improvements and fixes:
- automatically disables the "Incompatible SWF" warnings
- "Magic Menu" animations are now correctly positioned


Known issues:
The horizontal placement of "Magic Menu" 3D art can sometimes be off after a 'game reload', but this is only temporary since the scripts need to "wait" for SkyUI to process it's own code on game reload. Give it some seconds and it will be correctly placed, no user actions needed.


Installation and uninstallation:
No files will be overwritten on a manual installation (granted you are using the .bsa version), but use of a mod manager is higly recommended. Load order is mostly indifferent but make sure to load the mod .esp AFTER SkyUI.esp; once installed, just launch the game and wait for the "'SkyUI Vanilla Menus' is now active." notification to make sure the mod is working. To uninstall, first type the console command (case insensitive) set Nyr_SVM_UserOffset to 701 to turn it off, save the game and remove the files as you see fit.

Addendum:
Want a more 'personalized' version, with just some specific menus reverted? You can download the "full vanilla" unpacked version and just delete the vanilla menus you don't wish to be restored from the "Interface" folder (or just use a different set of menu files from another mod). Just keep this in mind: smithing, alchemy and enchanting are ALL tied to the same "craftingmenu.swf" file, and for my understanding there is no easy way to make the game use a different, specialized file for the threee aforementioned categories.


Notes:
▸This mod might be incompatible with other mods that replace the involved .swf menu files, depending on what you are aiming for.
▸Tests were done on a 1920*1080 monitor; if you are having issues with incorrect horizontal placement of "Magic Menu" 3D art, you can use the console command (case insensitive) set Nyr_SVM_UserOffset to ## - where ## is a number - to adjust the horizontal offset of the 3D magic art. Any other adjustment is not touched by this mod and is to be made from SkyUI own sliders ("Magic Menu" 3D art VERTICAL offset, "Item Menu" 3D art horizontal and vertical offsets). I currently have no way to test it on ultrawide monitors and so I can't test compatibility with "ultrawide" mods.
▸This mod was developed using Skyrim version 1.6.640 and it's probably compatible with any "AE" version (1.6.xxx), let me know if you find it working (or not working) with other versions!
