Visible Needs

Status: Not actively maintained (health reasons).

I can’t provide support or respond to bug reports/comments right now.

Continuing development: If you’d like to maintain this mod, send me a private message with:

• []Link to your Nexus/GitHub profile (anything showing past work)

  []What you want to do (bugfixes only vs new features)

  []How you’ll publish updates (new mod page vs takeover/fork)

If I’m able, I’ll share the source privately with one maintainer. No ETA.

VisibleNeeds (BepInEx + MelonLoader + MSCLoader)

VisibleNeeds adds a clean, configurable overlay that shows the raw My Winter Car “needs” values from PlayMaker Global Variables (plus a SleepNeeded estimate).

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Features

• []Shows current in-game `Time` (`HH:MM`).

  []Displays these PlayMaker Global Variables (numeric):

  []`PlayerThirst`

  []`PlayerHunger`

  []`PlayerStress`

  []`PlayerStressRate`

  []`PlayerAlcoholism`

  []`PlayerUrine`

  []`PlayerFatigue`

  []`PlayerFatigueRate`

  []`PlayerTemp`

  []`PlayerSweat`

[]`SleepNeeded`: estimates how long you need to sleep to bring `PlayerFatigue` back to `0`.

[]Bedtime helper: shows when to go to sleep to wake up at your chosen hour (alarm-friendly even-hour snapping supported).

[]Multi-column layout: set `UI. Columns` to `2+` (or `0` to auto-fit columns to screen width).

[]Draggable UI: hold `LeftAlt` and drag the box; position is saved to config.

[]Per-line toggles: enable/disable each value individually in the config.

[]UI stays in-bounds: the overlay is clamped to the current screen size so it can’t spawn off-screen (e.g. when starting windowed at a lower resolution).

What “SleepNeeded” means

SleepNeeded is an estimate based on your current fatigue:

• []If `Sleep. UseNegativeFatigueRate = true` and `PlayerFatigueRate` becomes negative while sleeping, the mod uses `abs(PlayerFatigueRate)` as the recovery rate.

  []Otherwise it uses `Sleep. RecoveryPerHour` (fatigue points per in-game hour).

  It’s meant as a practical approximation (not a guarantee) because recovery can vary by context.
