📋 About This Mod

Allows you to change your PipBoy with various retextures from the Nexus at a whim from a terminal interface located in your Diner Home courtesy of Jokerine

This mod is the original Fallout 3 version, remade to fit in with New Vegas. Be sure to check out the New Vegas if you want to switch the Courier's Pipboy around!

>DESCRIPTION<

As a long time user of the Nexus I have seen many files pass through here, including various brilliant retextures and new looks for your PipBoy.

HOWEVER, these have all been replacers, and there never seemed to be a mod that utilised these resources to do something somewhat new with the idea of changing a PipBoy. So I made this baby mod which allows you to do just that through the use of a terminal interface located in the Golden Hen diner home.

The concept is simple, an old docking station for a PipBoy that allows you to change between 15 different themes for your PipBoy, as well as the option to revert to the original. NO changes were made to the vanilla PipBoy, so any retextures you have installed will still work for the default PipBoy.

BUT- there is a catch, the terminal will start off with NO options for PipBoy customisation whatsoever. New PipBoys are obtained through the use of schematics, which are hidden around the wasteland at various somewhat fitting locations for there theme. These schematics come with custom notes (like vanilla schematics) and must be taken to the terminal located at the Golden Hen and then scanned before the new PipBoy options become available to use. They aren't all easy to find. (A hints.txt will be available upon request)

>STARTING THE HUNT<

As Tranquillity Lane involves a script which references the original PipBoy, I've made sure that the option to change your PipBoy isn't available until after that quest is done (in fact the password for the terminal isn't available until you get captured by the Enclave, so this mod can make for some additional exploring when you've completed the main story), I made sure that this mod wasn't available until after then as I didn't want to edit a script a quest used for compatibility reasons.

>THIS MOD REQUIRES NO DLC OR FOSE, JUST ARCHIVEINVALIDATED TO BE ENABLED<

>THE NV VERSION<

This mod was inspired by New Vegas, where you are able to change your PipBoy at a whim through dialogue, this is somewhat an expansion of that concept done in a lore friendly way as best I can.

As this mod was inspired by the option on New Vegas I felt compelled to add in the Pimp-Boy 3 Billion for you to enjoy in DC. HOWEVER, this is only available if you have New Vegas as distributing ported content is illegal and against the Nexus' TOS. So this mod will come in two flavours, one that has the terminal option for the Pimp-Boy and one that doesn&#
