This is a companion mod to Basic Primary Needs & Basic Personal Hygiene using HUD status bars to have custom icons, showing hunger, thirst, sleep & general hygiene. 

I made this mod to have a cleaner, simplistic interface while still showing what I need without the constant messages in the corner or a multitude of bars. 

To install, move the textures into the Data folder, then copy the following into your Hud Status Bars.ini in the Ini folder. If you only use Basic Primary Needs, do not copy over the section where it says "Hygiene". Same goes if you only use Basic Personal Hygiene. When booting up the game, please make sure that texture settings are set to "large", otherwise things have been reported to not show up correcly. 

There are two icons for thirst; the mug or a waterskin. If you like the waterskin better, or want to use the mug for caffeine instead, change the line "Misc\mug" to "Misc\skin"
Also included is an icon of a bottle, should you want a meter for alcohol levels.

If you do not want the area location message clip into the new icons, open Hud Status Bars - base.ini and find where it says "; == Location text". Remove the three lines below, and paste this in instead. 

; == Location text
set tnoHSB.location_display to0; 0: Show normal, 1: Hide completely, 2: Hide, but show as message
set tnoHSB.location_x to HUDweaponRight; To the right of the weapon icon
set tnoHSB.location_y to HUDcompassAbove; Above the compass line

There's a picture of what it should look like if anything's unclear. 
If you want to change any of the icons in the .ini or use them for something else, the names are following

bread
mug
moon
wash
bottle
skin
