About Pip-Boy 3000 animations:
About Pip-Boy 2000 animations:
Immersive Weapon Holstering: Smart Mode:
This mode will force the player to sheathe the weapon, but only if the mod does not find animations for the specified weapon that the player is currently holding in hands.
Immersive Weapon Holstering: Full mode:
Regardless of the presence of a custom set of animations for a specific weapon, the character will always holster the weapon before playing the Pip-Boy animations.
Separate animations in combat:
If there are alternative animations during combat, they will be used if the character is in combat mode.
For example, if the animator made accelerated versions of animations and put them in a folder, then during combat the character will switch the flashlight faster, etc.
