DO NOT INSTALL BEFORE EXITING VAULT 111

Are you tired of carrying that heavy Pip-Boy around your arm? No? Ah well then... This is awkward... BUT if you are, boy do I have news for you! This is the completely new PIP-Pad! It's a handheld Pip-boy ready for anything you throw its way! 

So, jokes aside, the PIP in the name stands for Personal Information Processor. This is not something we made up. The PIP-pad is an actual thing in the fallout universe and therefore we picked the name. You can read more about the lore here.

Read PCGAMER's article about the PIP-Pad here.

Manual installation instruction.

Requirements:
- F4SE
- Mod Configuration Menu

1) Copy files 'Data\PIP-Pad.esp' and 'Data\PIP-Pad - Textures.ba2' files from archive to game Data folder.
2) In archive's Data catalogue choose one of 'PIP-Pad - Main XXX.ba2', where XXX is number 180, 220 or 255. These numbers represent zoom level when you click RMB in the pipboy menu. You can see example pictures in archive's catalog 'fomod\images'.
3) Copy chosen 'PIP-Pad - Main XXX.ba2' to game Data folder.
4) Rename 'PIP-Pad - Main XXX.ba2' to just 'PIP-Pad - Main.ba2'. It's an important step!
5) Copy 'MCM' catalog to game Data folder.
Optional
6) Choose appropriate patch in archive's catalog 'Patches'.

If you need a patch for 'Pip-Boy Flashlight' mod then you additionally have to choose whether the source of light will be where pipboy was (though with PIP-Pad there will not be anything on your wrist) or head. Copy from corresponding folder ‘HeadEmit' or 'PipboyEmit' catalog 'meshes' to game Data folder.
Don't forget to enable .esp file(s) in whatever way you do.
Add the following lines to your Fallout4Custom.ini in Documents\My Games\Fallout4:
          [Archive]
          bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
          sResourceDataDirsFinal=


For versions 0.6 and below:
In your inventory you will have a holotape called "PIP-Pad". Load it and click uninstall. The holotape can also be crafted at a chem station under utility. 

For versions 0.7 and higher:
In Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) expand PIP-Pad entry, select 'Uninstallation/Installation' page, and click 'Uninstall'. Close MCM (return to the game) and wait for confirmation.

If you don't follow this step the vanilla Pip-Boy will be invisible.
