Dedicated to the users who provided me with criticism & feedback.


Vanilla UI Plus (VUI+) is a Fallout 3 & New Vegas mod that greatly improves the user interface without compromising the original style. I like vanilla as it reminds me of old PLATO programs, and the original fonts are easy to read by everyone, including controller users. To quote Billy Graham:

“And get a bible with big print. I think one of the greatest tricks that the devil ever pulled off on the American people was when he started printing bibles with such little print that nobody can read them.”

VUI+ has a few prominent and hundreds of under-the-hood features, as seen in the annotated screenshots below and the changelog. It’s provided under a copyleft license (see License.txt in the mod package). Here's a very promising fork.

To request support, please use the latest versions of xNVSE, JIP-LN, UIO, Stewie’s Tweaks, JohnnyGuitar and YUP, and make sure that you have installed VUI+ according to this guide. You can post comments at the end of this page but for feature requests or technical questions please use the forum instead.

Don't waste your time with it. Just use VUI+ with Vicious Wastes and stay on point. Point being the improved gameplay Vicious Wastes is offering.

Yes, you can use it. In fact you can use it without the plugin and without anything other than the base game. It won't be optimal but it will work.

However I can only support you if you're using my mod with its specified requirements. (I do make an exception for TTW players and their own YUP alternative.)

There's no longer a plugin option because it's not an option anymore, it's part of the mod.

As for the fonts, the notification is all I can offer. Making it disappear won't fix the problem. You've got to fix it yourself by following the "Restoring font edits on your Fallout.INI" section in this tutorial: Moddb.com
