  and install.

Bugs & Conflicts
- Multi-Pip is currently not compatible with "Pipboy Readius" and "Pipboy PDA"
- Mods which alter the "Cell Reset Time" get most likely overwritten.
- Please report any bugs and conflicts
- Due to a crashing bug of the Pip-Boy-handing in Fallout: New Vegas in general, this mod is not being ported to New Vegas atm.


Where Have All the Savegames Gone?
You can play Fallout in two different ways: off-line or on-line via GfWL.
As soon as you switch between these two modes, if you install F.O.S.E. (which disables GfWL), you'll consider your save games are "gone". This happens because Fallout uses two slightly different locations to store the game saves in.

• off-line: <start menu></start> \ Documents \ My Games \ Fallout3 \ Saves \
• on-line: <start manu></start> \ Documents \ My Games \ Fallout3 \ Saves \ "Your Live Name" \

-> If you want to continue your game on-line or off-line, simply copy the save games into the respective location.
