If you are not seeing the flies or toilets, it's worth checking in Preferences menu in Firestorm, under Graphics then Rendering tab, that the option Render Attached Particles is selected, otherwise you won't see them (but you should still hear the sounds).

Resetting the HUD also clears the provisions box lock code, so you are advised not to have the box rezzed in the locked state as you will not be able to unlock it after the reset.
