📋 About This Mod

== Pip-Boy Counters For Rads & Hardcore Needs ==

(See here for the version for Imp's More Complex Needs.)

Adds visible counters to the side of your Pip-Boy, showing in-game time, your radiation level, and your hardcore needs (dehydration, hunger, sleep deprivation). Works also if you don't have Hardcore Mode enabled.

Supported Pip-Boys:

- Pip-Boy 3000 (i.e. vanilla)

- Pimp-Boy 3 Billion

- Pip-Boy 2000 MKVI by Molten Clouds

- Pip-Boy 2000 from TF by AnOneTwo and Jack Weijiesen

- Pip-Boy 2500 by EdisLeado

- Pip-Boy 2500 Quantum Blue retexture by Kaya47

- Pip-Boy 2500 Wrist-Mounted by EdisLeado

- Pip-Boy 2501 by front210

- Pip-Boy Readius by AlexScoprion and Brianide

If you wish to change the color of the light created by the wrist-mounted Pip-Boy, just use Configurable Pip-Boy Light Color.

== Requirements ==

- New Vegas Script Extender

- Mod Configuration Menu

== Installation ==

For the mod to function as expected, you need to download BOTH of the following files:

  • 1) 00 Pip-Boy Counters Core Files

    2) At least one of the Pip-Boy models

If you download only one of these two, then the counters will either be missing, or look corrupted:

== Known Issues & Incompatibilities ==

- This mod will conflict with any mod that changes the meshes of the Pip-Boy of your choice.

- The mod is designed only for the vanilla Hardcore stats (dehydration, hunger, sleep deprivation), so will not show anything from mods that add more stats.

- The counter is invisible if a Stealth Boy or anything else with a stealth field is on.
