Cornered HUD - simple fix
Version :1. 1
Date :14. 11. 2015
Category :User interface
Moves the Hud elements more toward the corners and edges of the screen.
If you play this game not in front of a TV monitor (incl. HDMI), then this is the right modification for you.
Manual Installation
- go to your "My Documents/My Games/Fallout4" Directory, and make a backup of the "Fallout4.ini" there
- now open the "Fallout4.ini" (recommend with notepad++) and find the section "Interface":
replace the fSafeZoneX + fSafeZoneY with the new values (for 4:3 ratio)
replace the fSafeZoneXWide + fSafeZoneYWide with the new values (for 16:9 ratio)
replace the fSafeZoneXWide16x10 + fSafeZoneYWide16x10 with the new values (for 16:10 ratio confirmed by Uzibeatle & fattythehutt, thanks guys :-) )
(see below)
Fallout4.ini:
fSafeZoneX=5. 0
fSafeZoneY=2. 0
fSafeZoneXWide=5. 0
fSafeZoneYWide=2. 0 <-- Attention: This line could be an "e" missing (fSafeZoneYWid=), please replace the whole line, of course NOT with this Note ;-)
fSafeZoneXWide16x10=5. 0
fSafeZoneYWide16x10=2. 0
The green line marked "fSafeZoneYWide=2. 0" could be an "e" missing (fSafeZoneYWid=2. 0),
this is a known bug of Bethesda.
You simply replace the whole line with "fSafeZoneYWide=2. 0".
(fattythehutt: Thanks for finding the bug :-))
Manual Uninstallation
If you have the original file restored from a backup, you should still remove the following bug:
Simply replace the whole line with "fSafeZoneYWid=36. 0" with "fSafeZoneYWide=36. 0".
If you no longer have the backup of the original file, then
now open the "Fallout4.ini" and find the section "Interface" and edit this like below:
fSafeZoneX=15. 0
fSafeZoneY=15. 0
fSafeZoneXWide=[color=LimeGr

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (583 endorsements) and well-downloaded (8,646 downloads).
- Does exactly what it says: shifts HUD to the edges for a cleaner look.
- Lightweight and simple—no bloat, just the fix.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Only moves HUD elements; no customization options for positioning or scaling.
- Potential conflicts with other UI overhaul mods that reposition HUD elements.
For Fallout 4 players who want a cleaner, more immersive HUD without overhauling the entire interface. If you're a minimalist who prefers UI elements tucked into the corners, this is for you. Skip if you need advanced HUD customization or use a comprehensive UI mod that already does this.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install this mod through the manager to keep your load order clean.
- Check if you have any other UI mods that alter HUD positions—this mod may conflict, so test after installing.
- Since it's a simple file replacement, you can manually install by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager is safer for uninstalling.
