Really Needy HUD
for your Second Life
Health
The Health meter is special in that, unlike the other 5 physiological needs, it does not normally decrease by itself.
​
-
If Hunger, Thirst or Energy meters fall to 0%, your avatar will suffer damage (if in a damage-enabled parcel) and Health meter will start to decrease.
-
Health meter will continue to drop unless your avatar eats/drinks/rests sufficiently to restore Hunger / Thirst / Energy meter above 0%.
-
When Health reaches 20%, your avatar will lose consciousness.
-
When Health reaches 0%, your avatar will die (which means your avatar will be teleported back to Home if on damage-enabled land).
​
If your avatar is poisoned, the Health meter will decrease steadily over time.
​
Injuries such as falling from a height, burns, gunshot wounds, blast injuries and bleeding will also deplete your avatar's Health meter. (Injuries add-on required).
​
If Health meter is below 100%, your avatar will need medical treatment to restore Health.
​
Example items which restore Health:
-
Healing potion (if your sim is magic-themed)
​
Do also check out the Fitness feature which enables your avatar to earn Fitness Points by engaging in certain activities, increase Maximum Health, and unlock new abilities.
​
FITNESS & HEALTH
Your avatar's maximum Health is 100% by default. However if he / she exercises on a regular basis, it is possible to raise the maximum Health up to 200%.
Running
Swimming
Boxing
Hospital Bed with IV drip
This is a scripted item, which includes complimentary AVSitter2 scripts and animations. It can be used with 1 sitter (patient), or 2 sitters (patient and doctor).
Note: The Really Useful Hospital Bed can only restore your Health to 100%. If your maximum Health is higher than 100%, you need to take protein shakes (Level 4 Fitness) to raise it higher than 100%.
Paramedic kit
This is a scripted item, which includes complimentary AVSitter2 scripts and animations. It takes 2 sitters - healer and patient.
​
Although it is possible to 'self-treat' (only 1 sitter, which is the patient), you are encouraged to roleplay with another person, for example, a doctor, nurse, or para-medic.
​
Two versions are currently available for sale:
Really Useful Paramedic Kit (red)
- Restores health of owner only
- Heals up to 20% per recovery cycle
- Recovery cycle of 120 seconds (minimum)
- Modify & transfer
Really Useful Paramedic Bag (green)

- Heals up to 20% per recovery cycle
- Recovery cycle of 60 seconds (minimum)
- Modify & copy
You can also move the script to your own object to make your own equipment that restores Health. Your object must have AVSitter2 scripts in them for the script to work.
Note: The Really Useful Paramedic Kit / Bag can only restore your Health to 100%. If your maximum Health is higher than 100%, you need to take protein shakes (Level 4 Fitness) to raise it higher than 100%.
Injuries
Injuries can be simulated with an add-on script.
The add-on is included as part of the RPG Edition, and is an optional add-on (sold separately) for the Lifestyle Edition.
BOM layers (created by Izzie's) will be applied automatically to your avatar by the HUD with a simple setup.

Vital Signs
The Really Needy HUD (v2 and up) supports medical roleplay relating to 5 vital signs:
-
Heart rate (HR)
-
Body temperature (BT)
-
Respiratory rate (RR)
-
Blood pressure (BP) - systolic and diastolic
-
Oxygen saturation (SAT)
​
To read the 5 vital signs from HUDs, you need either the
-
REALLY USEFUL VITAL SIGNS MONITOR - available for 1L, or
-
Your own scripted item can call the Vital Signs API
​
To write (change) the 5 vital signs of a HUD, you need the Vital Signs Setter.
​​
​VITAL SIGNS SETTER
To change the patient's vital signs, you need to acquire the Really Needy Vital Signs Setter. The patient must also give you permission to his / her HUD.
The Vital Signs Setter can be acquired in 2 ways:
​
-
For home use, you can request 1 free unit (owner access only) when you buy the Really Needy HUD Adult Edition.
-
For use in a roleplay sim, you need to register with me the name of your sim/parcel, landmark, and agree to have your sim/parcel listed in a directory on my site and inworld store. You will then be given 1 free unit, and you can choose if you want owner access only or group access.

Diseases
Your avatar can catch a disease by coming into contact with a Contagion (could be touch-based or proximity-based). Probability of catching a disease could also vary depending on certain factors. Some factors could be external while your physiological state could also make you more susceptible (eg. Energy meter is low or Hygiene meter is low).
​
Wearing a Face Mask will reduce your probability of catching a disease if you choose the Random mode of infection from the Contagion.
​
​
​
Other diseases being considered are as follows.
-
Rabid rodent disease: sneezing, coughing, fever, vomiting, loss of bladder control, difficulty in swallowing, confusion/hallucination, fatigue. Non-contagious. Requires hospitalisation.
-
Food poisoning: diarrhoea, vomit, dehydration, possibly blurry vision. Non-contagious. Cause: low Hygiene, or eating expired food.
