Hardcore HUD
What this mod does
Removes the enemy indicators from Compass
Removes the location icons from Compass
Removes enemy health bars
Removes Stealth meter (no more HIDDEN, DETECTED, CAUTION or DANGER) indicator.
Moves and resizes HUD elements to the edges of the screen. (See Screenshots)
VATS: Recolours friend/foe name, legendary/skull icons and all resistances (if you have the perk) to white. (See Screenshots)
As a result of these changes, you become more cautious, you have to use your judgement when attacking over whether to spray more bullets at a charging enemy or whether to tuck tail and run for it. Also no more 360 spins looking at your compass for blips, that was a major immersion killer for me.
Most noteable difference comes about at the end of a battle, you have no idea if there are any enemies left, no more safe HIDDEN message to let you know, you have to look around and tread carefully!
Also as a side effect, you must be more careful if you want to steal from friendly areas (we’ve all done it).
Why I made this mod
I use DEF_INV Improved Inventory mod and he recently updated it to show the scrap components to items
as you mousover them, a hugely valuable addition in my opinion. However it conflicts with MyHud, so
I decided to take the HUDmenu from DEF_INV and edit it myself to make it more to my taste. I then had
various people on Facebook asking me to send it, so figured others on the Nexus might want it too.
As a result this mod is compatible with DEF_INV 0.16 at the last time of testing
DISCLAIMER
Use this at your own risk. I have only tested this mod with my setup, so if you encounter any problems then let me know and I will see what I can do. I am not a modder, so my skills are highly limited!
