📋 About This Mod
Tired of seeing that broken Pip-boy entry in the armour workbench? Accidentally scrapped the Pip-boy and have a rather bare left arm? Don't use the texture mods from Creation Club, so this crafting menu sub-entry is useless?
Well, here you go. :)
You got two choices of mods, one that removes the pip-boy from the workbench altogether, and the other that fixes the LOOKUP FAILED! error and makes the Pip-Boy unscrappable.
No requirements other than the base game. Should be compatible with everything.
