✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (578 endorsements) for an annoying visual glitch
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat, no extra files
- High download count (18,758) shows many players hit this issue
⚠️ Cons

For Fallout 4 players who are tired of litter piles turning into black voids when using the Pip-Boy light. If you're a modder or just want a cleaner visual experience, this is a quick fix. Skip if you don't care about minor visual glitches or if you're on a mod list that already overhauls textures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a mesh fix, make sure you load it after any mod that overhauls litter pile textures to avoid overwriting.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just install and enable—no special load order needed.
- Test near a litter pile with your Pip-Boy light on to confirm the fix works in your game.
