Forums release thread: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1077471 Name: RI Primary Needs / Simple Needs DarnUI Plugin Author: Dark Uncle Version: 1. 0 Date: 2/20/2010 Cateogry: User Interfaces Link: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11329 =============== Description: =============== A simple plugin to enable display of your \"needs\" status (hunger/thirst/sleep) on the HUD in DarNified UI - specifically for users of RI Primary Needs (PN) or Simple Needs (SN). Note: This plugin does not add or alter any \"needs\" functionality. It ONLY adds the current status to you HUD. DUI (DarNified UI) already works with FWE to do this, but some people run PN or SN by themselves and still want to have the same display capability. =============== Details: =============== There are two esp files in the zip -- only run one. Obviously, the one that goes with whichever needs mod you are already running. Also note that the displayed percentages may seem to jump in odd increments, or otherwise show a little bit of \"wonky\" behavior. This has nothing to do with this mod, but rather how the needs mod itself tracks things behind the scenes. Realize that the numbers you are seeing were not originally designed to ever be seen by the use like this. It may seem strange at first, but you should get used to it fairly quickly. =============== Requirements: =============== Fallout 3 Patch 1. 7 (I have not, nor do I plan to, test with any earlier patch) FOSE (I always suggest running the latest version) http://fose.silverlock.org DarNified UI F3 (you MUST be running the Alpha 11 version or later) http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1063937 ... And either... RI Primary Needs (specifically RI_Core.esm -- developed and tested with version 2. 0. 3) http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2125 OR Simple Needs (specifically SimpleNeeds.esm -- developed and tested with version 4. 5) http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3769 =============== Install: =============== 1. Extract the files from the archive. 2. Copy files to (install folder)\\Fallout 3\\Data\\ 3. Start Fallout 3 Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a checkmark beside the appropriate .esp file (only one of them). 4. Make sure that the .esp is later than the \"Needs\" .esm file in your load order. =============== Un-Install: =============== 1. Start Fallout 3 Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file. 2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod. =============== Compatibility: =============== No compatiblity issues so far. =============== Bugs/Issues: =============== No known issues so far, please let me know if you find any. =============== H
