📋 About This Mod

While I love the Fo3/FNV-styled UI, I've gotten too used to the Fo4's dynamic crosshair and Skyrim-esque compass. I wanted to blend both, and spent way too much time adjusting it super nitpickingly, and was too bitter to not upload it.


Notable differences from m8r98a4f2's original preset

  • []Most bars have the same length as Vanilla (hp, ap, enemy hp, etc.)

    []Uses a vanilla compass and a crosshair.

    []Alpha values for empty containers and Button hints resemble vanilla more closely.

    []Moved up the EXP bar so it doesn't overlap with the workbench UI.

    []Unified message/tutorial/quest vault boy positions. The prompt message is aligned with them.

    []Item rollover menu moved closer to the center of the screen.

    []Rads and Fatigue Icon size changes and alignment

    []AP bar and ammo counter are dynamic. You can untick the 'not permanently visible' checkbox in the MCM menu if you don't like it, but expect some clipping in the dialogue menu (photo below). Or you can manually make some space between them. I think it looks weird tho.


    Alt. Plus version

    This version uses Fallout New Vegas - A FallUI HUD layout's elements for FNV-styled compass and crosshair (therefore required for the assets, even if you don't use the preset itself).

    Moving the compass under the HP bar freed up some space in the bottom center. And since the crosshair only spreads horizontally, the item rollover menu could be safely moved to below the crosshair. Perk Vault Boy pop-up goes to the newly secured space between them.

    + One thing to curse your mind: FallUI HUD's Quickloot menu has a tiny black dot.

    ..and this is much more noticeable when using Fo3 borders/brackets than vanilla ones. ... Just something to consider before choosing the plus version.


    Modofonto is nice but suffers from some cut-off issues (e.g., Perk descriptions, three-digit numbers in VATS menu).

    I recommend Compact Fonts. It's slim and modern while retaining the iconic style.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid download count (49k) shows it's been tried by many.
  • Recent update means it's likely compatible with current game patches.
  • Fills a specific niche for players who want a classic feel without going full FNV.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires FallUI HUD as a dependency, which isn't mentioned in the description.
