📋 About This Mod
Why?:
While working on a larger mod that relies heavily on time progression, I noticed something frustrating—there’s no satisfying way to feel time passing in-game without opening the Pip-Boy or using Wait. I wanted a lightweight menu that captured that sense of time without bloating the bigger mod. By keeping this standalone and espless, players get more control over their HUD—and I don't have to add a toggle for it.

The larger mod in question (skip to 0:21)
The vanilla region info element? Useless. It only shows your location after exiting an interior. That’s it.
This mod completely replaces that element, adding not only your current location, but also the interior you just entered, and a live-updating time and date display. The minutes tick in real time—looks slick, feels immersive.
Features:
-
[]Regional UI appears after loading a save, fast-traveling, entering a new interior/exterior, or waiting
[
]You can customize it via ini. Toggle the underline (off by default), set the display to military time (off by default), adjust how long the menu stays on your screen, and/or adjust the x/y position of the UI element.[]No translation necessary. Uses the vanilla words for the weekday and month.
