Is there a way to reduce the size of this box?

I can't see all options because some of them are outside of the screen. I guess there is some setup in the ini files but i don't know:

That's the vanilla game message box. My guess would be that you need to find a mod that replaces Interface\messagebox.swf with a menu that can handle excessive amounts of options. And yes I realize you already have a mod that replaces it, but clearly (just like the vanilla menu) it doesn't handle excessive amounts of options.

 

And why do I say "excessive amounts of options"? Because a message box is not a list. Convert the mod to use UIExtensions to display a list menu instead. Not only will it fit on the screen, the user experience will be 10 times better as well.

Thanks a lot for help. There are a few mods in the message box:

- Ilussion Perks from Ordinator.

- Better Vampires

- Diary of Mine 

- Idrinth's Feed Cancel Button for Better Vampires

Unfortunately That's the vanilla message box and there are several mods involved in this. I have no idea how to convert that message to use UIExtensions.

I had thought in a "homemade solution" like reduce text size. Google recommended use this mod: Edge UI Stretched Messages and Dialogue Patch - 16x9.

I will try both solutions. Let's see what will happen...

I guess that's not actually a message box but rather the activation menu altered by perks. Probably still uses the messagebox.swf menu though, but you can't replace that with a UIExtensions list.

You might be able to use something like the floating dialogs mod to reduce that Klutzy, circa-2003 PS2 game-station Kiosk style dialog box system they use in Skyrim (for some ungodly reason)

 

But... I can only speak from the sidelines as a "rememberer of advertised mods" on it since I've never installed it myself.

 

So.... ymmv.

Yes. Unfortunately i couldn't fix the problem, but i can use all options using the keys. At the end, it's only a visual problem.

That mod looks great, but it's only for dialogues and i think i don't need it.

Thanks to both for your help.
