📋 About This Mod
2. 0 is up! Shiny chrome hardware. This is a complete texture overhaul with a black shell, and white details like labels, buttons, and screws. There is also a little added wear and tear subtly added to the surface. Also edits the inner surface (seen in the opening sequence), radiation meter, and radio dial, which many Pip-boy mods currently on the Nexus neglect. Not just a random photoshop filter slapped on the outer shell! Now includes a matching holotape skin under Optional Files.
Version 1. 1 also includes a black screen in 3rd person to match. Version 1. 2 features a greatly improved specular map, chrome hardware, and a further tweaking of the screen to hopefully fix the green tint it gets at night. 1. 3 has newly generated subtler normals and optimized speculars for increased performance. Version 1. 4 fixes the green 3rd person screen bug! Thanks to SentientMachine's Remove Pip-Boy Screen Glow mod. Please endorse and give Kudos to SM for allowing me to include this fix. If you just need a hotfix, simply download and endorse that mod.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture/model replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager.
- Make sure you have Archive Invalidation enabled (or use a mod manager that does it automatically) to see the changes in-game.
- If you're using other Pip-Boy mods, check load order to avoid conflicts — this one should overwrite or be overwritten depending on your preference.
