📋 About This Mod

Hello!

This is an edit of the vanilla ThirdPerson Pip-Boy mesh so it fits better to female body replacer. I aligned the mesh to the CBBE Zeroed Slider Body (Check the comparison Screenshot).

For the FirstPerson mesh I simply took the ThirdPerson mesh and renamed it (not because me being lazy, I tried to work with the original mesh, but many more issues occurred compared to the Third- Person mesh). It works without crashes and is fully functional, but:

The FirstPerson mesh now hasn't got any animations (the hand still does the animations), no holotape animation, no turning the buttons. Hands and Pip-Boy are not aligned (not fixable). The glow overlay is different, now if you enter the Pip-Boy menu with Pip-Boy light on, you will get dazzled (just check the screenshot). These issues are the reason why I release the FirstPerson mesh as an OPTIONAL file.

This mesh doesn't offer Bodyslide features.

It will not work (clipping issues) with thick clothing (like a coat for example). Also if you don't think the Pip-Boy fits too loose on your character this mod is not for you.

Fallout 4 uses the same Pip-Boy mesh for female and male characters, which means my mod will clip with the arm of male characters.

Installation:

You can install my mod with the ModManager. If you want to install it manually then download the archive and put the content in your Fallout 4 Data folder.

Unistallation:

Uninstall the mesh with the ModManager or manually delete the file from your data folder (check the archive for the folder path and filename).

Compatibility:

My mod should be compatible with every Pip-Boy retexture. It's incompatible with mods which alter the 3d model of the Pip-Boy (like the Pip-Boy Flashlight Mod).

Have fun!

Q: Will you do a Bodyslide version? A: Nope, I don't use Bodyslide, ingame I use the base Zeroed Slider Body.

Q: Will you do different sizes? A: Nope, already took me some hours to do this one mesh.

Q: Your Modpage looks horrible! A: This is not a question but yeah I know.

Q: Will you do a version for XBone? A: Nope, just one for PS4; just kidding. Since I don't own a Fallout 4 version for PS4/XBone so I can test my mod there won't be a console version.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have CBBE installed and the Zeroed Slider body selected in BodySlide
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's just a mesh replacer, so load order doesn't matter much
  • If you see clipping, check that your body preset matches the Zeroed Slider exactly
