📋 About This Mod
Pack One gives you a choice of Seven new Pipboy Background themes. Included are ATI, Babe, Fallout, Nvidia, Plain blue, Vista Bliss and Xbox 360. Pack Two gives you a choice of Eight new Pipboy Background themes. Included are Alienware, Apple Computers, Budweiser, Earth, Hannah Montana (I don\'t wanna hear it!), Naruto, Nuke and Radiation. Pack Three gives you a choice of Eight new Pipboy Background themes. Included are Bethesda, Dell/XPS, Fallout 3, Half-life 2, Nexus, Playboy and Terminator. I\'m workin\' from a list of requests and still have enough to fill another Pack before I can start workin\' on the ones that I want to do. Now if only somebody could figure out how to scroll background pictures or use animated textures. . . I\'ve added a Gold Pack on a different page which includes some of the ideas I wanted to do in the first place. See Mirrors for that and other helpful links.
