Breaking: Official VUI+ Font Patch for
Brazilian-Portugese, French, German, & Spanish
is now available!
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.

Installation Steps with Mod Organizer 2
- Install xNVSE, JIP-LN, UIO, Stewie’s Tweaks, and JohnnyGuitar.
- Install the Yukichigai Unofficial Patch. Always let this one to be overwritten by other mods.
If you are using TTW, skip this step because it includes its own version of the YUP. - Install the Mod Configuration Menu and its own patch.
- Install VUI+ overwriting any files from the previous steps.
Any guide suggesting otherwise should be considered harmful. - If you are using Portugese, Spanish or French translations of the game, use the Default Font Tweaks option at the installer and then install the Official VUI+ Font Patch.

Can you tell me how to install this please im really confused
Vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com
Right i have a question does this mod change the texture path for the pipboy screen? as in the screenglare file?
The Reason i ask is i am trying to work out why none of the pipboy screen replacers i try are working.
No it doesn't change that, and it's compatible with such mods. Check out a relevant option in the settings file.
when i drag the .zip into the vortex mods section it doesn't add it to the list.
I can't help with Vortex.
Also, it's not a .zip but a .7z.
I keep getting an error on the main menu which says that there is an installation error and i need to drag the mod (not the plugin??) under conflicting mods and i need to install UIO which i have done. I don't know how to do that. Im also getting another error that their are missing fonts and i need to restore the default fonts, which i followed the instruction and did. any help would be appreciated.
> I don't know how to do that.
Use MO2. They have a pretty good documentation.
> error that their are missing fonts and i need to restore the default fonts
This message only shows if you modified your INI files to install fonts using an old method. Unfortunately some mod guides still insist on using this old method. You need to revert those INI edits.
when it comes to traits that affect the special skills, the ui doesn't give parentheses of -1 or +1. I have four eyes as one of my traits and the pip boy just shows my current perception.
Show me a screenshot of that PipBoy screen along with a console message that shows your current perception.
Also, be sure you use the original YUP patch for your testing.
