Shut up HUD

"Hello, I am Fallout: New Vegas! I see you are crippled! Let me remind you of it... again. And again. AND AGAIN. An NPC that may or may not be relevant to you has just died on the other side of the map. Let me throw a pop-up in your face. Oh, you completed a challenge! Let me make a loud noise to inform you of it!"

I love this game a lot, too much maybe, but it's the little things that can annoy me endlessly. Whatever I do - discovering a location, gaining XP, completing a quest - there's a sound or a pop-up message to inform me of something that I am aware of after multiple playthroughs. So I tried to eliminate these little annoyances and then thought, well, might as well share.

Each archive contains 3 .esp files and a readme. See lengthy explanation for small mod below.

• ShutUpHUD.esp:

Disables both sounds and pop-up messages. When I say disable, I mean the sounds are still there but the volume is reduced so you don't hear them anymore; the pop-up messages have been turned into corner messages so as to not interrupt gameplay.

> Sounds - Challenges - Chems (addicted/worn off; screen effects and messages stay) - Critical Strike "blip" - Experience gained - Karma - Level up (Skill point distribution screen still has sound) - Location discovered - Pipboy Map Highlight (blipblipblip it's a matter of taste, the noise was getting on my nerves whenever I was looking at my map) - Quest added/updated/completed - Reputation (there is still a pop-up but without sound... working on it actually I kinda gave up on that sorry I don't think anyone particularly cared anyway have a nice day!)

> Pop-ups - Challenge Perks & Old World Blues Special Perks (DNAgent) - Companion Messages (Perk/Leave/Death) - Equipment returned after arena fights in the Fort (millions of corner messages) - Equipment returned when leaving the Fort - Faction Disguises - Items retrieved from Mojave Express Boxes - Snowglobes - DLC Radio Signals & Level cap raised - Quest NPC deaths

+ semi-annoying corner reminders: - You are crippled! (I know, game. You think I walk like this for fun?) - To enter VATS... (Has it occurred to you I don't WANT to enter VATS?)

NOT included: - Any messages you get when doing the X-13 Stealth Suit upgrade runs - Critical Hit notifications - Finding a soundfile for the jukebox in Old World Blues - Installing upgrades in the Sink - Reputation notifications/changes - Tutorials

* excluded Honest Hearts & Dead Money
