📋 About This Mod

Pipboy For Everyone Pip pad patch included.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

latest update 1. 3+:

-You do not need to use any of the old skins from the old versions.

- Allows you to enable customization on your robot race with the armor workbench. Doing so will allow you to equip and unequip

robot pieces without starting a new save or making a new character.

-As always you can craft the Robots Parts at the chemlab. the base models will be the 6 available robots. and a few single piece parts

-They will appear in their base model without any armor on. Handy bots will now come with this mod but their eyes and arms don't work so well with armor

-You can mix and match different body parts together. If you want to be a custom handy model you need to change the race too the custom handy race instead of the normal one, as they support arms while the normal handy doesn't. I recommend unequipping the parts before modding them as it will cause issues.

-As you equip the armor it will come with enchantments like vanilla robots and will equip their weapons and ammo. But some will cause issues as making you slow, making you die or some other issues. Like vanilla, equipping the legs will swap the race for that part

-------------------------->THIS WILL CTD IF YOU TRY TO USING POWER ARMOR, SO DON'T! <--------------------

--------------------------> DO NOT USE THE CHANGE FORM ITEMS IN THE PIPBOY, IT WILL LOCK UP THE SCREEN!! INSTEAD HOTKEY THEM <--------------------

So this little mod here will allow you to play as the Assaultron, Protectron, Sentry Bot, Robobrain, and Handy Bots that so happen to share the same files for some things.

You will have to choose which one you want to play as, either one is fine..

---Ok so I want to make this clear here.. This replaces the power armors skeleton and behavior files and moved it into a different folder for npcs. You cannot enter the power armor while this mod is active, it will crash the game. The game crashes if you so much as try to redirect it to another folder or even change the name, but for npcs it kinda works, but their animations are kinda messed up like dying but you came for the robots right? No power armor for you.---

So to skip the intro you need to enter "coc vault111ext" and it will spawn you in front of a black orb where you enter vault 111. If you want to do the main quest, walk into it and it will trigger the main story.

Here are some control layouts:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standing while pressing left attack or right attack will do a basic attack.

Moving forward while pressing left attack or right attack will do a power attack.
