I know very little about the Skyrim modding community, and I'm not currently all that interested in it. However, shiny graphics are no match for a shiny UI, and I understand that Sky UI is not available for the Special Edition, am I correct? Checking Steam, the Special Edition costs just as much as the DLC for the base game, which you'd think would make it superior. I have just the original base game, which I have picked up again for the first time since the DLC came out.
