Base Mod
The base version of this mod moves the majority of HUD elements away from the center of the screen and removes some of the non-essential HUD elements to reduce clutter.

Standalone Addons

- Remove Flashing Invasion and Summon Message
- Remove Guidance of Grace on the World Map
- Remove Loading Screen Tips
- Remove Runes Counter
- Remove Subtitle Background
These can all be used in addition to one of the main variants of the mod or completely on their own!
Primary Method (recommended)
- Download and install Mod Engine 2. (Can be installed anywhere on your PC you want - doesn't have to be in the game's folder)
- Download and extract the variant of the mod you want.
- Choose whether you want normal background or translucent backgrounds, and open that folder.
- Move the "menu" folder to be inside Mod Engine 2's "mod" folder.
- Launch the game through Mod Engine 2.
Secondary Method
- Download the UXM Selective Unpacker tool.
- Use UXM to fully unpack all of the game's files. (This will use up another 50 GB of hard drive space and the original packed files cannot be deleted)
- Use UXM to patch the game's executable file. (This allows the game to load the unpacked files instead of the original packed files)
- Download and extract the variant of the mod you want.
- Choose whether you want normal background or translucent backgrounds, and open that folder.
- Move the "menu" folder to the game's main install directory, overwriting the original files.
- You will need to find a way to disable the game's anti-cheat. There are several different methods to do this, you can search to find one you want to use.
I recommend removing the files from the previous variant or version when switching or updating.
