(Next Gen Edition) Friendly HUD

E9Yj-YxPMMsDF9UYrXxk8c

This mod is for v4. 0 of the game also known as the "Next Gen Edition" (NGE).

NGE introduces a couple of QoL changes that were previously provided by FriendlyHUD - those are now removed from the mod files: main menu access from dialogs and cutscenes, fix for "unable to call Roach" message popping up when indoors under certain conditions. Thus, make sure you completely delete non-NGE (Classic Edition - CE) version of the mod before installing an NGE one.

Note that NGE partially duplicates dynamic minimap and quest log features of the mod, so you need to disable those in vanilla options if you want FriendlyHUD to take proper control of those modules.

Also note that the mod doesn't hide HUD modules, it shows them. So if you want to use the smart HUD feature, you need to turn modules OFF one by one using in-game vanilla video options menu (see the details below).

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).
