📋 About This Mod

This HUD preset is compatible with the latest Fallout 4 and DEF_UI updates.
Minimalistic HUD is a minimalistic, stylish and decluttered HUD preset for DEF_UI. You only need to install DEF_HUD during the NMM installation for this to work. You need to download and install it first to use this preset. Endorse DEF_UI if you like this preset. Credits go to Neanka and Valdacil for creating and sharing DEF_UI. Current version is 16:9 only. This preset is meant for advanced players. Do not ask me to make custom versions. The mod comes as is. Features (check the screenshots for graphical features)
  • []HUD elements are 50-60% smaller than Vanilla and placed in an orderly grid.  []The quest animations and tutorials have been disabled. I find them really annoying as an advanced player. []The HUD is made around the 'uncustomizable' markers in update 1. 5. The markers in Survival mode blend perfectly with this preset.
By default the preset disables
  • []Pip-Boy Light indicator; []PA/Dogmeat markers; []Condition indicator; []Stealth indicator; []Enemy skulls in combat; []Enemy/Recon markers.
Less version
  • []Legendary indicator disabled; []Location markers disabled; []RAD indicator disabled; []XP text disabled;
Bare bones
  • []Same as less version but with extra features below; []Messages disabled; []Enemy indicator disabled; []PA indicator disabled; []Perk indicator disabled; []Region indicator disabled;
Bare bones without map speaks for itself. Installation
  • []Install the latest DEF_UI version. []Download this preset with NMM or manually drop the content of the download into you main FO4 folder. []Override when asked. []Endorse DEF_UI for making an awesome UI mod.
