✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 805 endorsements and 44,967 downloads show it's a trusted, widely used mod.
- Covers all the essential stats you need—XP, weight, cores, condition—so you're not constantly opening your Pip-Boy.
- Last updated recently (August 2026), so it's likely kept compatible with the latest game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- UI mods can break with game updates; you'll need to watch for patches after each Fallout 76 update.
- Customization options might require time to tweak to your liking, especially if you want a specific layout.
- Potential conflicts with other UI mods that alter the same HUD elements.
This is for Fallout 76 players who want to keep an eye on their character's vital stats without constantly opening menus. It's especially useful for heavy explorers and builders who need to manage weight and resources efficiently.
