Mod Info:

Skynet can be found in the Mainframe room of HELIOS One. You will need at least 7 Perception AND/OR Intelligence to hire Skynet. While in your party Skynet will make MOST Robots non hostile (tested in Repconn, Vault 11, and HH Tools). You will also have access to Skynet's onboard workbench at any time and the Laser Pistol upgrade once per day.

To "upgrade" Skynet, you will need to bring it to the locations revealed on your map through dialogue options. (Vault 11, Repconn HQ, and Jacobstown Lodge for now. See ReadMe for details). You will see a message giving an explanation and the upgrade will be applied.

While Skynet is a fully functional companion, it is also a Robobrain. It has been tested in some pretty tight interiors, but you may occasionally need to go through a load door to make Skynet "catch up." It also will not equip any weapons other than it's built in Laser, Mesmetron, and Arms.

UPDATE NOTES: Version 1. 1 released. This includes the voice, .nif, and carryweight/speed boost by Hopper31, the mod page banner and most Skynet markings by RAVEPMW, and the texture and additional markings by myself.

It SHOULD be safe to do an overwrite install but a clean install is the only way to hear the "say once" lines in the initial hire dialogue (all other voice files should still work).
