Description
This collection strictly only provides mods that have the most basic functionalities in terms of user interface. It improves the vanilla user experience without altering too much.

The aim of this mod is to improve user experience, so it doesn't include visual improvement that has nothing to do with game functionalities (like Vanilla Boat Fixes), nor does it include mods that alter the visuals based on individual's preferences (like Racial AI Restorer Recolorer).

The mods included in this list can be safely uninstalled at any time.


-----------------------
Important reminder[http//Just+precaution]
If you want to use/are using Enhanced Storage, do not use Improved Containers listed in this collection. Vice-versa. They both aim to modify similar thing, albeit in different way, so don't install both.

Improved Containers is the simpler version (modifies user interface only). Pick only one!

Quest Reward UI Expansion
