📋 About This Mod
Summary-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those who want the Pip-Boy 2500 to look even more like the classic Pip-Boy 2000 from Fallout 1 & 2
Retextures the Pip-Boy 2500 mod to look more like the original Pip-Boy 2000 from Fallout 1 & 2. Just like my retexture for the 2501 mod. Requires Pip-Boy 2500 - glowing letters by DryBones12 and Pip-Boy 2500a 'Glowing Tubes Edition' by IrregularJohn85 for the glowing tubes and letters shown in the screenshots. Big thanks to Pommymax for allowing me to use parts of his HD retexture for V3. Logo looks a lot cleaner now. You can find his mod here
This mod as I said essentially rearranges some things and adds or otherwise changes some stuff to closer resemble the Pip-Boy 2000. Most obvious change is the added date counter which the 2500 was missing, but In the newest version for example I've edited the button textures to look a bit more like the transparent plastic looking texture the 2000 has. All versions are in the screenshots tab so you can look there and then pick and choose which one you'd like from the files list.
Also works with the arm mounted version
If anyone out there wants to help me with getting the date counter to actually display the current in game date, rather than when the bombs fell, I would greatly appreciate it.

V1 - The first version. It's the closest to the original 2500 mod by EdisLeado in appearance. Date counter made to look broken.
V2 - Deviates further from EdisLeado's original mod. Looks closer to the original Pip-Boy 2000 from the classics. Date counter made to look broken.
V2. 5 - Same as 1. 1 except the date counter is set on the time at which the bombs fell on the Mojave.
V3 - Added a new normalmap alongside the retexture so that you don
