Description Summary
===================
A patch for Treb's Simple Needs so you can display all the food, water, and sleep quotas on command.

Details
===================================
Upon starting for the first time, a message box provides use information; press the L-key to display the current quotas and use the <Simple Needs Menu> to change which key to use.  (I decided not to use the N or G keys as the default since those are often used for nightvision goggles and grenades).
After pressing the L-key, a message box displays:
1) The current quotas for food, water, and sleep.
2) Time in hours to the next drop.
3) What the new quotas will be.
I added a <Simple Needs Menu> item in the Pip-Boy apparel inventory.  Click on it to activate a menu to change what key is used to show the quotas.
If you ever forget which key you mapped to, just reset to the default key and re-map.  If you want to cancel the custom mapping process, just press any key used by the game.
Very useful to see if you need to top off before heading out!
