What this mod does is making tooltips for your items in inventories, spells, stats and all little UI thingies better. Consider this a Better Inventory UI, but for tooltips instead of icons.


1. Wonder why companions approval hidden on a 3rd character panel? Me too. Added numerical approval rating to tooltip of summary's approval bar (no need to check 3rd tab on Character Panel).



2. Struggling to figure out given item function? Is it a potion or a trash item? Armor boots or vanity? That's because very few of them have category mention under the title. Actually 2 only - armor type and Shield. I added 19 more: Cloak, Ring, Amulet, Helmet, Gloves, Boots, Vanity Clothing, Vanity Boots, Underwear, Instrument, Melee Weapon, Ranged Weapon, Document (notes, books, discs etc), Grenade, Arrow, Scroll, Potion, Consumable, Throwable.



3. No idea of which school this Scroll of Revivify? Never pay attention to concentration requirement? For scrolls I've added information about attached spell (level/cantrip and school) and made concentration text gold, for better visibility (also check Better Cursor Text Panel concentration warning).


4. Hard to read lore text? I've changed how it looks like - no more italic, only slightly greyed out, better visible icon, and slight background below lore text to make it more distinguishable from other text (yet secondary to technical description).


5. Changed icons for weapon proficiency, versatile/two-handed icons and fixed Until Long Rest status duration not working properly in some scenarios (kudos to juumeijin for these changes).


6. (for modders): I prepared a workaround for a new top rarity - Artifact. On this mod's side you will get properly formatted tooltip, on Better Inventory UI - icons for Artifact rarity. Make your god-tier item of Legendary rarity and drop me its title's loca's contentuid, I will add it to the list (until I find way a tag suitable for UI checks better than equalconverter for displayname):


This mod won't be requirement - without it item will be shown as Legendary.


Better Tooltips currently supports next mods with Artifact items:

JWL Discordant Instruments

JWL Deck of Many Things

Deathsong Set

Awakened Blood of Lathander , The Eye of Vecna and The Hand of Vecna


Mod includes German, French and Italian localizations. Other localizations are standalone mods.
