📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a clean HUD tweak
- Community-tested with 142 endorsements, so it works for others
- Lightweight: just an XML file, no heavy scripts or meshes
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—might not play nice with newer mod setups or game patches
- Requires DarNified UI, so you need to install that first
- Only affects compass and location—if you wanted more HUD changes, this won't cover them

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure DarNified UI is installed and working before adding this XML file.
- Back up your original XML file in case you want to revert to the default layout.
- If you're using a mod manager, place the file in the correct folder (usually Data\Menus\Main) to avoid overwriting other HUD mods.
