In the Lewis in Ben save the world Xcom Files play through they have some UI things that I want to have as well. They have a thing that shows arrows with time units showing how far they can move a solider. And when they aim at enemies to shoot them is shows the accuracy of the weapon right next to the aiming reticle. At 16:26 in the video you will see an example of the aiming accuracy thing, and at 17:00 in the video you will see an example of the movement arrows with the time units. Also I'm very new to Xcom so I'm sure to confuse everyone when I make a post.

The arrows+TUs on them are available in the options menu. The accuracy on the reticle is too, but as part of a larger feature called "UFO Extender Accuracy" - this option enables a fall-off in firing accuracy beyond a certain distance dependent on the shot type. The default ranges are 200 tiles for aimed shot (effectively infinite), 15 for snap shot, and 7 for auto shot, and you lose 2 accuracy for every tile beyond those distances. Mods can change these values, and the one Lewis and Ben are playing make heavy use of that feature.

I found the UFO extender accuracy in the options. Do you know what the arrows+TUs is called in the options menu or where it is found? I might just be blind.

look for a section called "path preview" in the battlescape tab.

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH! I'm so dumb, I was looking at advanced instead of battlescape! I'm all good now.
