📋 About This Mod
2024 update : this still works but I would highly recommend Pip-Boy 2500 DEFINITIVE instead which includes not only my mod but better textures and other stuff. This mod here still works and is a simpler, out-of-the-box version if you prefer that:)
Pretty straightforward mod. I originally made this for Pip-boy 2500A "Glowing tubes edition" in mind because I believe it's the one that looks best, but made it work without the glowing tubes mod too. I made them so it looks like the original paint glows in the dark.
