ADDITIONAL:The work for this was started by the Project Nevada team, but left abandoned without ever making it fully into New Vegas. I have taken what they started, expanded upon it, and finished it up for release. I started this because I was bored, and because the only other radar mod hasn't been updated in forever, and the source is not available. The source for this is freely available, and anyone is welcome to use it or expand it. If you have any questions or requests for features, I will gladly consider them. The maximum range is now controlled by the RadarConfigRangeMax global. Set this to higher to get greater maximum range in the menu.* The maximum number of entities shown has been increased to 50. This has the potential to be very slow and possibly cause other problems besides stutter. Additionally, there is a Perl script in the fomod folder that will generate all the code required to add even more entity markers.
SUGGESTED MODS:In order to get the full functionality out of Radar Mod, I suggest using aHUD, or oHUD in order to be able to view the radar while in the menu for configuration. DarnifiedUINV is used in the screenshots. The mod is designed for DUI, but will work fine without it, just some of the fonts will be the wrong sizes.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,972 endorsements and 84,809 downloads.
- Lightweight UI mod that doesn't overhaul the game.
- Configurable to suit your HUD preferences.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may be outdated for current game versions.
- Only tracks NPCs, not other entities like vehicles or items.
For players who want a simple, effective radar to keep track of NPCs without cluttering the screen. If you're a completionist or explorer who likes to know where everyone is, this is a solid pick. Skip if you need a radar for vehicles or other entities.

- Use a mod manager to easily enable/disable the mod if you encounter issues.
- Adjust the radar settings in-game to find the right balance for your HUD.
