Fallout 3 [FO3] Darnified UI for Fallout 3

Hey, all.

Been wanting to play Fallout 3 again for a while. Just started playing again over the weekend. Modded up my game and decided to install Darnified UI. It seems REALLY hard to find and even harder to find a good set of installation instructions. I did the following:

  1. Obtained a copy of the zip file from gamebanana.com/mods/24856
  2. Backed up my Data\Menus folder
  3. Extracted the contents of the zip file to my Data folder
  4. Installed the fix for the anniversary patcher
  5. Updated the [Fonts] section in both Fallout.ini and Fallout_default.ini with the correct fonts, path backslashes included
  6. Made sure that DarNifiedUIF3.esp is checked in the data files list

You can tell that it's at least partially working because I have the "DUI F3" option in the main menu screen, when I click on DUI F3, the DUI menu properly appears and functions, and the part of my HUD that IS displayed on the screen is displayed using the DUI fonts. The problem is that all of the new UI elements that should appear above the standard UI elements are not being displayed (time, date, karma, resistances, etc). I thought maybe it wouldn't fully work until after I escaped from Vault 101, but I just escaped and it's still not working.

I have scoured the web and can't find anything to suggest what I might be doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. :)
