This mod is a replacer, it replaces the vanilla Pip-Boy 3000 for the player but does not for other NPCs. Features various skins to choose from and all new custom animations, even for the pickup in Vault 111.
I highly recommend the Crafting Highlight Fix mod by reg2k so you can see what skins you're crafting requires F4SE
Installs like normal with NMM or Vortex. Manual install is fine too as this mod uses archives. This mod does not require any DLC, F4SE, or other mods.
There are multiple file versions you can download.
Full- The entire mod with all the customization, 2k textures. Available in ESP and ESL.
Lite- Just the basic Pip-Boy itself with no customization, 2k textures. Only in ESL.
4k Textures- Only the archives, still requires the Full or Lite downloads
The 4k textures are properly exported, not upscaled.
Bethesda Net PC Versions- Full Version and Lite Version
Bethesda Net Xbox- Lite Version only
Loose File version- This one is the main Full ESP version but without archives, straight loose files. Users can also swap out the plugin for any of the other plugins since they all share the same file paths. But only commit one plugin to your game!
Does this mod work with the next gen update or the old one?

I have some Creation Club paints for my Pip-Boy 3000. Can I use it on this mod?
No. Those CC paints are for the Pip-Boy 3000 and not this Pip-=Boy. How skins are applied are fundamentally different from this mod.
I have a different Pip-Boy mod installed, can I switch to this one mid-game?
That depends on if that other mod adds new forms your save game relies on. While the damage would be minimal, it's not recommended. Do so at your own risk!
When I use the gold material options, they come out flat and dull??
The Gold materials are produced by vanilla cube maps, they create the golden shiny effect without increasing the file size of the mod. Mods that alter those cube maps, or even some ENB's, can mess with the textures this mod relies on. This also goes for the Bronze, Copper, and Tempered textures.
The filaments on my Pip-Boy aren't so vibrant or also look flat?
Kind of similar to the previous question, ENB's can change how emissive these filaments end up in game. I've confi
