This is the paper interface replacer for almost all SkyUI menus (and most of those UI elemets that are not covered by SkyUI).
1. Install with mod manager, just follow the FOMOD installer instructions and choose whatever you like. I don't support manual installation.
2. After installation you can open the file interface\deardiary\config.txt for enabling-disabling some options and to set transparency if you need it. There is detailed description for every option in that file.
For Skyrim SE 1.6+ versions:
Install Main Menu Patch and overwrite Dear Diary with it.
For Skyrim SE 1.6.1130+ versions:
Install Widescreen Scale Removed for 1-6-1130 and higher.
Install Dear Diary DM and Paper Difficulty Persistence Fixes, select file Dear Diary Paper Persistence Fix, overwrite Dear Diary with it.
Completely safe to install / uninstall / update mid-game (of course if using any modern mod manager).
It's a big section, but don't be afraid...
Dear Diary is compatible with most mods, some mods are redundant (Dear Diary has the same functions included), and even "incompatible" mods may be used without any issue if you let them overwrite Dear Diary files, they just won't have a paper look or the UI will be visually inconsistent.

Note:
If you use another mod that modifies the config.txt file from SkyUI and you don't want for some reason to fully overwrite it with mine, you'll need to "merge" two config.txt files. If you don't know how to do it, try asking mod author to make a patch for Dear Diary.
All the mods listed below should overwrite Dear Diary files.

Note:
If you use another mod that modifies the config.txt file from SkyUI and you don't want for some reason to fully overwrite it with mine, you'll need to "merge" two config.txt files. If you don't know how to do it, try asking mod author to make a patch for Dear Diary.
