📋 About This Mod

This changes the chameleon effect to the invisibility effect to make it more bearable to use the Pip-Boy. The Pip-Boy still has that annoying invisible effect but it's not as bad and you can move and use the Pip-Boy and have it look just fine, this way you don't have to get out of sneak mode to be able to see the Pip-Boy. It also removes the night-vision flash effect.

I have done some extensive testing and it seems they have the same effects for being hidden/detected.

Made with FO4Edit.

Warning: There has been a report of problems with loading the mod with chameleon active. So be sure to load a save with chameleon off. If this happens you can use these commands to fix it:

Player. GetAV 000002f3 Player. ModAV 000002f3 -##

It will give you a positive value so you need to mod it by the negative amount.
