📋 About This Mod
Dark Gray / Black Pip-Boy re-texture, retaining vanilla rust & dirt. White labels, and white gauges (as close to vanilla as possible in style). Vanilla lights.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 624 endorsements and over 10k downloads.
- Stays true to vanilla style—just a color swap, no weird glow or neon.
- Simple drop-in texture, no gameplay changes, so it's safe for any playthrough.
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes the color—if you wanted a full Pip-Boy overhaul, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2015, so it might not be tested with the latest game patches.
- Compatibility risk with other Pip-Boy re-textures or mods that alter the same files.
For Fallout 4 players who want a darker, more subdued Pip-Boy without straying from the vanilla look. If you're a lore purist or just tired of the green screen, this is a clean fix. Skip if you want custom colors or UI overhauls—this is purely a texture swap.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex to install and manage the texture file easily.
- If you're on PC, make sure to enable mods in your Fallout 4 settings before launching.
- This mod only affects the Pip-Boy model, so it won't conflict with UI mods that change the menu layout.
