📋 About This Mod
oSaJVzGmQaI Update 1. 8 Added support for: JIP Selective-Fire JIP Realistic Weapon Overheating JIP Companions Command and Control JIP Fast-Travel Anywhere with Random Encounters
Thank the mod author himself for adding support for those :)
Description Many great mods are now out with lots of cool HUD icons and effects. They really enhance the gameplay and help remove a lot of the Pipboy hopping that slows the game down. But they all face the same problem in the game engine they use. The only two ways to add these HUD elements are:
1) Replace the main HUD file with one custom made for the mod, which unfortunately deletes any HUD effects added by another mod. 2) Ask the user to manually modify the menu xml, which a lot of users are uncomfortable doing.
The aim of this mod is to automatically build a menu HUD file that includes ALL the elements of your favourite mods, without the hassle of manually editing xml files.
IMPORTANT This is currently working with the mods I happen to use right now. Obviously there will be a lot more that people will need so post in the comment section with links to HUD mods you would like to see supported by this utility.
User Interfaces currently supported ALL. The main menu HUD is not replaced, but rather a single include added to whatever UI you use.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 4,384 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads — this is a proven tool.
- Saves you from the headache of manually merging XML files, which is a godsend for HUD mod hoarders.
- Works with any HUD mod, so you can mix and match to your heart's content.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 — might have compatibility issues with newer mods or game versions.
- Requires you to have other HUD mods installed to be useful — it's a utility, not a standalone HUD.
For Fallout: New Vegas modders who love customizing their UI and want to stack multiple HUD mods without breaking the game. If you're tired of compatibility headaches and want a clean way to combine HUD elements, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with a single HUD mod or don't use HUD mods at all.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the mods you want to combine installed first, then use Unified HUD Project to merge them.
- Check the mod's forum posts for user-made compatibility patches or load order advice, since the description is sparse.
- Since it's from 2014, test with a backup save to ensure no conflicts with your current mod setup.
