📋 About This Mod
(In celebration of New Vegas’ 15th anniversary, here’s a little something... S. P. E. C. I. A. L)
OVERVIEW
After working on Pip-Boy Light Indicator (ESPless), I decided to see what else I could add new icons to and thought the S. P. E. C. I. A. L page within the Pip-Boy looked a bit plain and could do with a little something extra added so here we are.
Inspired by the symbols found on the front page of the You’re SPECIAL! book in Fallout 3 and 4 and displayed on the corners of the perk cards from Fallout 76, I’ve recreated a full set of 7 icons in a similar style to display next to and substitute the starting letter of each each of your S. P. E. C. I. A. L stats in both the Pip-Boy and the Character Generation Menu.
FEATURES
◆ Adds a dedicated icon for each S. P. E. C. I. A. L. stat.
◆ Fits seamlessly and improves the existing UI.
◆ Applies to both the Pip-Boy Stats and character generation menus.
◆ Simple and ESPless just install and enjoy.
COMPATIBILITY
Tested with Vanilla, Vanilla UI Plus, Vanilla UI Extension and Unofficial DarNified UI, will need feedback on other UI overhaul mods.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and simple—does exactly what it says without bloat.
- ESPless means no plugin slot used, so it's safe for load order.
- Recently updated (March 2026) and has a solid download count (48k+).
⚠️ Cons
- Only 243 endorsements—decent but not a massive community favorite.
- Purely cosmetic—if you want gameplay changes, this isn't for you.
