📋 About This Mod
This mod let's you toggle enemy health bars and compass enemy indicators with scanner. Please note that this includes ship scanner as well. Targeted enemy ship's healthbar will always be visible.
Please install using Mod Organizer 2 or refer to available guides online to install using your preferred method (vortex or manual).
Requirements:
SFSE (for Console Command Runner Updated)
Address Library for SFSE Plugins (for Console Command Runner Updated)
Console Command Runner Updated
Compatibility:
StarUI HUD:
You should not disable enemy health bars setting. This mod already does that while not using scanner. Disabling enemy health bars setting in StarUI HUD's ini file will hide enemy health bars even if you toggle the scanner. This probably applies to all the HUD mods that have a setting to toggle enemy health bars.
Removed Hit Markers:
I am not sure if this mod would overwrite "Removed Enemy Health Bars and Hit Markers" option on Removed Hit Markers's page, that file could cause the health bar to not show up while using scanner either. So please use only the file named "Removed Hit Markers" if you are using that mod.
Credits:
I basically copied Toggle Quest Markers with Scanner and Ship HUD's ini file and modified it to toggle the game setting values that toggled
the enemy health bars and compass enemy indicators, which I found in PEAK - Enemy Combat AI's .esm file. Highly recommend both mods.
A compact UI mod that lets you toggle enemy health bars and compass enemy indicators using the scanner. With 97 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, it's a niche quality-of-life tool for players who want cleaner HUDs without losing combat awareness.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust (97 endorsements, 6,152 downloads)
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just toggles
- Perfect for players who want a cleaner HUD on demand
⚠️ Cons
- Only works with scanner—no hotkey or manual toggle option
- Last updated in August 2024, so may not be compatible with newer game patches
- Potential conflicts with other UI mods that modify health bars or compass
For players who find enemy health bars and compass markers cluttering the screen but still want them available when needed. Great for immersion-focused runs or screenshot sessions. Skip if you prefer permanent HUD elements or want more granular control.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the toggle in a safe area first to see how it affects your HUD before heading into combat.
- If you use other UI mods, install this one last and check for overlapping features.
- Remember that the scanner is your only way to toggle—make sure you know the scanner keybind.
