Commonwealth Commonsense – DEF_HUD Preset
Thanks to the awesome DEF_HUD mod by Neanka, those of us who don’t have the patience to fiddle around with XML files can fine tune the hud to our heart’s desire quickly and easily. This mod is simply a tweaked hud that I created using the previously mentioned mod.
Again, all credit goes to Neanka who created this mod.
I’m also using these interface mods:
DEF_INV – Improved Interface
Valdacil’s Item Sorting
Their powers combined cut out inventory, hud, and interface pollution!
I think this is pretty true to the vanilla hud, just resized, moved out of the way a bit more, and hopefully less cluttered. The changes that are more noticeably different from the vanilla layout are below:
– Removed the low battery warning message completely. Beeping and the flashing red light on the power armor hud wasn’t enough? It seemed excessive and unnecessary in my opinion.
– Removed the flashlight icon. Again, I felt it was fairly obvious when the flashlight was active without there being an icon for it.
– The compass is at the top of the screen. I have always preferred it this way myself. There aren’t any other compass alterations. Enemy indicators, quest markers, ect will all still show up.
All other changes are fairly minor and include resizing and moving items toward the edges of the screen. Hopefully the screenshots give a fairly good representation of everything.
Version 2.0 is updated for DEF_HUD version 2.0. It was created using an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Installation:
1. DEF_HUD is required. Install it first using NMM.
2. Install this preset after using NMM.
