Description:

Ironman compatible and eligible for achievements.        

Overview

Proper 2K UI Enhanced builds upon the original Proper 2K UI Project mod to better align with the original Europa Universalis IV interface design. I’ve cleaned up the project and organized the removed assets into submods for flexibility. Below, I’ve listed the types of new changes that Xyarvius and I contributed to the mod:

  • Adjusted text and UI elements positioning for a more visually appealing layout, preventing overlap.
  • Enlarged several windows to better fit larger fonts.
  • Fixed most progress bar glitches.
  • Fixed tutorials.
  • Enhanced important UI windows, such as the Holy Roman Empire (HRE) and Emperor of China (EoC) windows.
For a detailed list please check the Changelog[1drv.ms]
This is a standalone mod, so there’s no need to download the original version.

Alternative downloads:
  • Paradox Mods[mods.paradoxplaza.com].
  • Github[github.com]. (If you would like to help the project)

Will I make a 4K version of this mod?

TL;DR: No, I don’t see myself doing this.
Long explanation: All the improvements I’ve made to this mod were done by playing the game, noting down everything that wasn’t optimal, and eventually fixing them in my free time. There’s no automation for this; everything was done manually. So even if I were to scale up the current version to 4K, there would still be a lot of work involved, and I can’t invest my free time in doing it.
Later edit: You might want to try using this mod along with the game’s GUI scaling feature and adjust the scaling to a value between 1.2 and 1.3. It’s not a perfect solution, but it could help improve the overall experience.

Does it work with 1920×1080 displays?

Not by default
Here are the steps to make it work (For NVIDIA):

  1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel.
  2. Expand "Manage 3D Settings" and click on "Manage 3D Settings".
  3. Under the Global Settings tab, scroll down to "DSR-Factors".
  4. Check the box for 1.78x (2560×1440) and if not already selected "DSR-Smoothness" for 33%.
  5. Now right-click your desktop and select "Display Settings".
  6. Under Display resolution, select 2560 x 1440 (2K).
