📋 About This Mod

If anyone has a problem with the readius not showing up ... open your console and type this ... player.equipitem 15038 Pipboy Readius - New Vegas Edition Version: 1. 1. 0 Date: November 10, 2010 Category: Models and Textures Requirements: NVSE Beta 2 or higher, Ability to Read Authors: AlexScorpion and Brianide I AM SPECTACULARLY STUPID (NOV. 10, 2010) The last upload contained the old ESP. The new upload contains the new one. Let\'s all pretend that this little incident did not transpire and overlook the fact that I am a complete ass. UPDATE (NOV. 10, 2010) The new version requires NVSE Beta 2 or higher. If you do not have NVSE or do not have Beta 2 or higher, please get it here. Also, FOV options have been added to the mod options, accessible via the aid item. The armor repair glitch should be corrected now. Thanks to Antistar for recommending a working fix. Finally, the models, textures, and other resources are now packed into a BSA file. Users upgrading from version 1. 00 can delete the following files, as they are no longer necessary, though leaving them should not cause issues: FILE meshes\\characters\\_1stperson\\locomotion\\male\\pipboy.kf FILE meshes\\characters\\_1stperson\\locomotion\\female\\pipboyfemale.kf FOLDER meshes\\scorptech FOLDER sound\\fx\\ui\\pipboy FOLDER textures\\pipboy3000 FOLDER textures\\scorptech == Description == This is the official port of the Pipboy Readius mod from Fallout 3. It replaces the regular ingame Pipboy with a handheld Readius-like device. It also removes the default Pipboy from the player\'s arm, as well as the accompanying glove. == Differences from Fallout 3 Version == - Controllers work. This is something we received a lot of complaints about in Fallout 3. Credit for this is mostly due to Vivanto, so you should all express your gratitude by appropriating him his deserved kudos (see Credits section at bottom for link). - The Pip-Boy light is no longer remapped. There is now an Aid item \"\" which can be used to access the uninstallation menu, should the need arise. == Installation == 1.) Extract the files to a temporary location. 2.) Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3.) Copy files to (install folder)\\Fallout3\\Data\\ 4.) Start the Fallout New Vegas launcher, click Data, and place a checkmark beside Readius_NV.esp. == Uninstallation == This is currently a rather unpleasant task; it\'ll be better automated when a suitable mod manager exists. 1.) Open the mod options menu and choose the \"Uninstall Mod\" option. 2.) Reequip your armor, save, and quit. 3.) Deactivate Readius_NV. ESP. 4.) Optionally, delete Readius_NV. ESP and Readius_NV. BSA. 5.) Load the save and play as norma

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod replaces the Pipboy model, make sure no other mods alter the Pipboy or arm meshes to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod through it to easily enable/disable if needed.
  • Check the mod's file structure – if it's a loose file, place it in the Data folder; if it's a .fomod, use a mod manager.
