What I'm looking for: HUD icons for basic needs (navigating to an "active effects" menu to figure out whether or not your character is hungry/thirsty/cold/sleepy/diseased is clunky and lame!). Think Fallout: NV, or the DayZ mod for Arma II. Bonus points for "active effects" icons (a la Morrowind), as well.
SkyUI supposedly supports these functions, but as far as I know no one has taken advantage of it.
Has anyone done this already? I'd do it myself if I knew how.
