📋 About This Mod
You won't need any Pip-boy replacer or mod to allow equiping or unequiping it.
You Pip-boy will still be displayed when you are in 1st person, and using the Pip-boy won't be any different from before.
That's right: the Pip-boy is still here, it is just INVISIBLE !
As i told in the description above: with this, you can take screens without needing to remove the Pip-boy by whatever means who can vary from simply tedious to ruining your save (well, if it goes to that extend, something is really wrong).
You don't want to be the "Lone Survivor" who is coming from a vault? You don't want to be stuck with a Pip-boy because your character is not supposed to have one in his background? Or you simply think the Pip-boy is ugly and ruins your perfect outfit?
Now you can get rid of that Pip-boy !
You have to take note of three small things when using this mod:
1) When you start a new game, the Pip-boy will still be visible in 3rd person UNTIL you use the Pip-boy to open the door of Vault 111, after doing this, it will become invisible and will stay like this permanently. (When i say permanently, it's permanently as long as you are using the mod: uninstalling it will simply revert the Pip-boy back to it's original appearence)
2) Some base outfits, like the Military fatigues or the Drifter outfit, when worn by the player, will have a large gap where the Pip-boy is supposed to be, it is NOT a bug: the version of the outfit worn by the player is simply built without meshes at this particular place, because the Pip-boy is supposed to cover that area.
3) It won't affect the Pip-boy worn by other people, like the residents of Vault 81.
Place the esp anywhere in your load order, it should not cause any issue.
The mod is compatible with absolutely everything who does not modify how the Pip-boy is displayed in 3rd position. Note that mods who change the textures of the Pip-boy are partially compatible: partially because for obvious reasons, textures won't show up on an invisible Pip-boy !
This Fallout 4 mod removes the Pip-Boy from your character's wrist in third-person view, letting you take clean screenshots without the device. It's a simple, popular cosmetic fix with over 1,100 endorsements, last updated in 2019.
