Name: RI Primary Needs / Simple Needs DarnUI Plugin
Author: Dark Uncle
Version: 1.0
Date: 2/20/2010
Cateogry: User Interfaces
Link: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11329


===============
Description:
===============

A simple plugin to enable display of your "needs" status (hunger/thirst/sleep) on the HUD in DarNified UI - specifically for users of

RI Primary Needs (PN) or Simple Needs (SN).

Note: This plugin does not add or alter any "needs" functionality. It ONLY adds the current status to you HUD. DUI (DarNified UI)

already works with FWE to do this, but some people run PN or SN by themselves and still want to have the same display capability.

===============
Details:
===============

There are two esp files in the zip -- only run one. Obviously, the one that goes with whichever needs mod you are already running.

Also note that the displayed percentages may seem to jump in odd increments, or otherwise show a little bit of "wonky" behavior. This

has nothing to do with this mod, but rather how the needs mod itself tracks things behind the scenes. Realize that the numbers you are

seeing were not originally designed to ever be seen by the use like this. It may seem strange at first, but you should get used to it

fairly quickly.

===============
Requirements:
===============

Fallout 3 Patch 1.7 (I have not, nor do I plan to, test with any earlier patch)

FOSE (I always suggest running the latest version)
