Everything you need to customize your PiPBoy light to YOUR liking, not what someone else thinks the light should be. You can pick and choose from a variety of range increments and light colors. Want a red light thats super bright and covers the entire wasteland? DONE!! Want a blue light that only covers the default distance? Done!! Want some other combination of light? Its your call, everything you need is there for you! =============== Details: =============== Included in this package are several .esp files that you can pick and choose from to customize your pipboy light. I have tried to name each .esp file so that it should be self explanatory on what it effects. Range Modifiers: PiPBoy Light Range x2.esp = x2 The Defualt Light Range PiPBoy Light Range x3.esp = x3 The Defualt Light Range PiPBoy Light Range x4.esp = x4 The Default Light Range PiPBoy Light Range x5.esp = x5 The Default Light Range PiPBoy Light Range x6.esp = x6 The Default Light Range PiPBoy Light Range Infinity.esp = Not really infinity as you are limited by your video settings and clipping pane, however it will light up EVERYTHING you can see on screen. Stand in the wasteland at night and light up an entire town to really see what it does. Color Modifiers: PiPBoy Blue Light.esp PiPBoy Cyan Light.esp PiPBoy Grey Light.esp PiPBoy Purple Light.esp PiPBoy Red Light.esp PiPBoy White Light.esp PiPBoy Yellow Light.esp =============== Requirements: =============== There are NO Requirement to use this beyond a basic understanding of how to use Mods. FOMM is highly recommended! =============== Install: =============== 1.) UNZIP the files 2.)

DO NOT SELECT MULTIPLE RANGE MODIFIERS!! ONLY THE LAST ONE ON THE LIST WILL BE ACTIVE! DO NOT SELECT MULTIPLE COLOR MODIFIERS!!

If you are using another mod that changes the PiPBoy light in any way, you should choose to load it BEFORE you load this mod. =============== Bugs/Issues: =============== No Known bugs or issues. =============== Additional Info For Modders: =============== While creating this mod I discoved a few things about changing
