📋 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.
