📋 About This Mod
Night Vision Chip upgrade is available from the standard fabricator player equipment category. Once built it will take up one of your player's chip slots, meaning this competes for 2 slots with Compass and Scanner Room HUD chip. While installed night vision will be enabled. Toggle key (configurable in Mod Options menu) defaults to 'N' can be used to activate/deactivate the chip.
This mod was made for the December Modding Event 2019.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,035 endorsements and 27,708 downloads.
- Solves the annoyance of fumbling in the dark without needing chems or torches.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says, no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2020—may have compatibility issues with newer game patches.
- Only adds a single item; may not be worth it if you already use night vision chems or perks.
For Fallout 4 players who hate stumbling through dark interiors and want a permanent, buildable solution. Skip if you prefer using chems or if you're on a modlist that already overhauls night vision.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a specific game patch or DLC—since it's from 2020, verify compatibility with your current version.
- Look for the chip in the crafting menu under the relevant category (likely Utility or Crafting).
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid manual errors.
