📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED Please use One HUD (oHUD) instead.
Compatible with my other HUD mods:Immersive HUD - iHUD Adjustable HUD - aHUD Unified HUD Project - uHUD.
This mod has been merged with iHUD and aHUD here: One HUD - oHUD Use this instead of aHUD, iHUD and Primary Needs HUD.
Installation I have made a full installation tutorial for installing several of my HUD mods together that can be found here: Modding Fallout NV Tutorial - Part 1 - User Interface.
Description I just got so fed up of opening the PipBoy to find out if I need to eat, sleep etc. So I made a quick mod that displays Rads, Water, Food and Sleep on the right hand side. Nowadays it also has a lot of other stats such as rad resistance, clock, fatigue etc, but you can hide/show different areas to suit your needs. Just want the clock and the Primary Needs? No problem :)
And it is all customizable. You can hide, move and format different elements to your personal needs/taste.
You should install this mod using the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) or Fall Out Mod Manager (FOMM). You need version 0. 13. 20 or later. It absolutely requires the New Vegas Script Extender(NVSE). I am afraid you MUST use NVSE for this mod to work. Sorry, I wish it were otherwise. If you wish to be able to customize this mod using the settings menu, you must also install The Mod Configuration Menu (MCM).

Compatible with: 1. MTUI v 1 2. Darnified beta test v 4 3. Shiloh DS - Clean Pipboy Screen 4. PipWare UI New Vegas Edition 5. SimpleHUD 6. AsukaHUD
Conflicts: This may conflict with any mod altering the UI. However most of these can be fixed using the Unified HUD Project. If you find a mod that does conflict, contact me and I will try to fix it.
Credits: Darn for the Darnified UI for Fallout 3. The clock was possible because I just looked at how he had done it and copied the principle.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if you're using any UI overhaul mods like Darnified UI—they might conflict, so test load order.

- If you're on a newer version of the game, consider using a mod manager to handle potential file conflicts.
