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.

Hi Axonis, I really like this mod and appreciate yourwork on this.
However when I switch into any inventory interfaces such as pip-boy item slot or looting menu of any container, i'll always experience certain short freeze(lag).
I wonder is it just a common problem that is able to be fix?

Only if the item list is huge and there are fixes in mods such as Stewie's mods, New Vegas Heap Replacer, and New Vegas Tick Fix.

All right I think I found the solution.
I didn't download lStewieAl's Engine Optimizations.
The short freeze is completely gone after downloading that, what a releif!

Everything works for me in new vegas, except for the fact that whenever i try to mod a weapon ingame, it crashes. I can only mod weapons with your mod turned off. Im using viva new vegas extended modlist but i dont think its a matter of compatibility because i ran down every UI mod i have installed. Has anyone ever had this issue?

Hi, so I used this mod recently and works great. Then I tried again, got an error that said something like "vanilla ui plus detected an installation error." I already got uio installed. Can you please help?

Not yet. There should have been a year ago but I can't find the free time required to test my edits. I cannot simply make edits and ship the mod, it's too popular to have new bugs.
