✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,765 endorsements and over 62k downloads — clearly a trusted pick.
- Keeps the original UI style intact, so it feels like a natural upgrade rather than a total overhaul.
- Simple drop-in install: just extract to your Mods folder, no mod manager or extra tools needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Not compatible with other HUD retexture mods, so you'll have to choose between this and other UI overhauls.
- Only tweaks a few elements (reticle, compass, health bar) — if you want a full HUD customization, this won't cover everything.
For Kingdom Come: Deliverance players who love the vanilla HUD but want a cleaner, less intrusive look. If you're after a complete UI overhaul or heavy customization, this isn't it — but if you just want a subtle polish, this is perfect.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure the folder structure is exactly KingdomComeDeliverance\Mods\BetterVanillaHUD\Data\BetterVanillaHUD.pak — if it's nested wrong, the mod won't load.
- If you have other HUD retexture mods installed, remove them first to avoid conflicts.
- After installing, launch the game and check the HUD in the main menu or during gameplay to see the changes immediately.
