📋 About This Mod
Friendly HUD - Classic Edition
E9Yj-YxPMMsDF9UYrXxk8c
Description
Switching some parts of the HUD off allows for more immersive gameplay. But playing without minimap or healthbar can be as painful under certain circumstances as it's fantastic while just exploring the world. This mod offers a lot of options to configure HUD modules as well as adds 3D markers for quest and NPC tracking and makes several improvements to game menus. You can use all of the options mod has or turn the ones you don't need off.
The mod doesn't change any of the balance aspects of the game and only provides pieces of information to the player he/she already has access to. By installing it you won't be making the game easier or unrealistic, it's an UI mod, which aims to improve quality of life and immersion.
Important!
The mod doesn't hide HUD modules, it shows them. So if you want to use smart HUD feature, you need to turn modules OFF one by one using in-game vanilla video options menu. You don't have to turn off every module, just the ones you don't want to see all the time. Modules that are ON in game video options are not affected by the mod and retain their vanilla behavior. Another important thing to know is that turning an entire HUD off with a hotkey or menu switch will result in no modules being shown at all (as modules are a part of the HUD and when an entire HUD is off nothing is shown).
How to install/uninstall the mod
Community Patch - Base is required for this mod to work properly.
It is now recommended to use the newly released TW3 Mod Manager to install the mod. It handles installing the mod itself, the menu, the hotkeys and user settings automatically.

Here's a guide on using Mod Manager and here's a basic guide on installing TW3 mods in general. Please, read both before posting about script errors.
You can uninstall the mod fully with one click using TW3 Mod Manager.
