✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves the bulky Pip-Boy problem with a sleek, modern look
- Optional first-person model adds flexibility
- Paints still work, so you don't lose customization
⚠️ Cons
- Some vanilla outfits with long sleeves will have invisible parts under the Pip-Boy
- Static screen displays mean no animated map or status
- Only 25 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with limited community feedback
For Fallout 76 players who find the original Pip-Boy too bulky and want a sleeker, modern alternative. It's purely cosmetic, so skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or animated screens.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If using Vortex, just follow the manager's prompts; for manual install, drop the files into the Data folder and add them to Fallout76Custom.ini.
- Test with different outfits to see which ones have invisible parts, and consider using the first-person model if you prefer that view.
- Check the mod's images on Imgur to see the new Pip-Boy in action before installing.
