So i've been trying to use the downgrade patcher so i might use my mods as well as SKSE, It's currently saying Immersive HUD / Activation / SkyUI Active Effects / Active Effects ALWAYS On: checkedĪctive effects should theoretically always be visible with this configuration, but I had to press X once to quickly display and hide the compass for the active effects HUD to appear, but it remained visible even though the compass is hidden. Immersive HUD / Activation / Compass Activation / Key press toggle: unchecked The compass is always shown (unless you press X to hide the compass) and it looks as if the active effects HUD appears if the compass is visible. The other option is to check Key press toggles and press X once. I think this may be because Active Effects on key is checked and it may not be obvious this the compass key.

With this configuration, hold down X to see both the compass and the active effects HUD. Immersive HUD / Activation / SkyUI Active Effects / Active Effects on combat: checked Immersive HUD / Activation / SkyUI Active Effects / Active Effects on key: checked Immersive HUD / Activation / SkyUI Active Effects / Active Effects ALWAYS On: unchecked Immersive HUD / Activation / Compass Activation /iHUD hotkey: X and Key press toggles: unchecked I believe this is the default configuration:

I just double checked that the active effects HUD is working correctly with the STEP guide, although some of the settings may be counter-intuitive and initially confused me as well.
