📋 About This Mod
Pipboy PDA - Widescreen Alternate Zoom --------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE! This mod requires the Pipboy PDA mod by Alexscorpion to work. You can find the original mod here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8411 DESCRIPTION: This is a simple edit of Alexscorpion\'s widescreen Pipboy PDA. It offers an altered mesh that allows for a viewing angle closer to the camera without cutting off the Stats, Items, and Data buttons. The new zoomed-in view gives the LCD screen a larger area on the game screen, and therefore increases the font size. INSTALLATION: Again, this mod requires you to have the original Pipboy PDA mod by Alexscorpion. Make sure that your Pipboy PDA mod is working properly before installing. This way you\'ll know whether to come to me or Alexscorpion if you have an issue installing the mod. To install, simply unpack the archive and copy to your Fallout 3/Data folder. Be aware that this will overwrite the mesh files included with Alexscorpion\'s version. CREDITS: Alexscorpion for creating this great and original mod. DISCLAIMER: These meshes belong to Alexscorpion, so please follow the \'Licensing\' section in his readme for any guidelines on redistribution of the included files.
