About this mod:
SFSE plugin that grants you full control over the HUD's visibility.
Each mod setting has a detailed description in ..\Data\SFSE\Plugins\AutoHideHUDAndWidgets.ini.
Probably there's no need to copy the INI text here. Basically, you can define which HUD elements you'd like to see on what conditions.
Define New Conditions - API For Mod Authors:
Beyond the settings available in the INI, if you know how to edit Condition Forms in the Creation Kit, you can define new conditions for each HUD element.
1) Open the Optional file "Auto Hide HUD and Widgets - Optional ESM" in the Creation Kit.
2) Open the Condition Form you'd like to edit, e.g. "AutoHideHUDAndWidgets_CNDF_RolloverWidget".
2. 1. Each Condition Form is linked to a HUD element.
2. 2. Simply overwrite the ones you'd like to edit.
2. 3. Add your conditions to the Condition Form, e.g. IsSneaking == 1. 00.
4) Save your plugin and exit the Creation Kit.
5) Activate both AutoHideHUDAndWidgets.esm and your plugin in your load order.
