Welcome to the MCM-Helper wiki!

The documentation here, like the project itself, is based on Fallout 4 MCM and SkyUI.

The Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) is a control panel for mods that is provided by SkyUI for Skyrim. MCM Helper streamlines access to SkyUI's API by providing its own API, which is more similar to that of F4MCM.

MCM menus live in their own directory in MCM\Config\ModName, while user settings are located in MCM\Settings\ModName.ini.

Getting Started

A configuration menu must at minimum, have a config.json file defined. This file describes the layout of the config menu.

For information about config.json, see Menu Layout and Control Types.
