I'm particularly bothered, because right now, the Special Edition is 25% off on Steam, and it's actually cheaper than just buying the base game DLC. Is it really the case that there is no nicer menu mod for the Special Edition? Am I really going to have to make a choice between better graphics and better UI? At this point, I'm somewhat tempted to not get the DLC at all, and maybe only enjoy it only on the Nintendo Switch (because hey, it's portable at that point, I can deal with limited UI). Right now, all I'm using is Sky UI and Acquisitive Soul Gems (otherwise, my Bound Bow would be shoving petty souls into Grand Soul gems, without careful management). I know very little about the Skyrim modding community, and I'm not currently all that interested in it.

Extended UI is actually an add-on to the SkyUI mod which youll find a bit further on. However, shiny graphics are no match for a shiny UI, and I understand that Sky UI is not available for the Special Edition, am I correct? I still think the interface of Oblivion was better than Skyrims. Checking Steam, the Special Edition costs just as much as the DLC for the base game, which you'd think would make it superior. I have just the original base game, which I have picked up again for the first time since the DLC came out.
