“AGF – V3 – HUD PLUS” is a UI (user interface) extension mod for 7 Days to Die, created by AuroraGiggleFairy (formerly known as RilesPlus). It falls under the User Interface category, and the current version is 6.3.0, which appears to support the game’s Version 3 line.
What kind of mod is it?
As the name suggests, this mod aims to “plus”—that is, enhance and expand—the on-screen HUD (heads-up display, which shows information such as health and status). The author’s modding philosophy emphasizes “elevating the vanilla (unmodified) game experience” and keeping installation and use as simple as possible. So rather than drastically altering game balance, it’s best thought of as the type of mod that improves the readability of information while preserving the standard feel of play.
Key features
- Vanilla-enhancement focused: This mod is geared toward improving the convenience of the HUD without breaking the gameplay.
- Emphasis on ease of installation: The author explicitly states a policy of keeping “installation and use simple.”
- Multilingual support: It aims to support all 13 languages that 7 Days to Die covers (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, and more), so it may be easy to handle in a Japanese-language environment as well.
- Thorough documentation: The README provides guides for installation, removal, updating, and backup, which appears useful for making adjustments to suit your settings and preferences, as well as for learning how the mod works.
That said, to be sure about exactly which HUD elements are added or changed, it’s best to check the detailed Features section on the distribution page. Since the content is updated depending on the version, checking the latest Changelog alongside it will give you peace of mind.
Installation tips
As with the general procedure for UI mods, the basic approach seems to be placing the mod data from the downloaded Mods folder into the game’s Mods folder. Since the README includes dedicated Installation / Removal / Update / Backup guides, giving it a read before installing will help you avoid confusion.
- Before installing or updating, it’s safer to back up your save data and existing Mods.
- If you’re installing it alongside other UI-modifying mods, watch out for display conflicts, and it’s recommended to first confirm it works on its own.
- Make sure the version matches your game (the V3 line) before installing.
Who it’s recommended for
- People who want to make on-screen information a bit clearer and more convenient without changing vanilla’s feel of play.
- People who don’t want to install a large-scale overhaul mod but just want to lightly improve the UI.
- People who want to use a mod with Japanese display, or who want to tweak it to their own liking while reading the README.
This appears to be a good pick for those seeking “behind-the-scenes UI improvements” rather than flashy game overhauls.
