About this mod

Replaces the usual Pip-Boy with a faithful recreation of an arm mounted Pip-Boy 2000 from Fallout 2, to be featured in Project Arroyo.

Project Arroyo aims to recreate and reimagine Fallout 2 in Fallout 4's Creation Engine. This standalone mod is the Pip-Boy that will be featured in the project.
If you're interested in joining the project, check out the Discord as well as the Dev Team Application.




This mod is a replacer, it replaces the vanilla Pip-Boy 3000 for the player but does not for other NPCs. Features various skins to choose from and all new custom animations, even for the pickup in Vault 111. 

I highly recommend the Crafting Highlight Fix mod by reg2k so you can see what skins you're crafting *requires F4SE*



Installs like normal with NMM or Vortex. Manual install is fine too as this mod uses archives. This mod does not require any DLC, F4SE, or other mods.

There are multiple file versions you can download.

Full- The entire mod with all the customization, 2k textures. Available in ESP and ESL.

Lite- Just the basic Pip-Boy itself with no customization, 2k textures. Only in ESL.

4k Textures- Only the archives, still requires the Full or Lite downloads
The 4k textures are properly exported, not upscaled.

Bethesda Net PC Versions- Full Version and Lite Version

Bethesda Net Xbox- Lite Version only

Loose File version- This one is the main Full ESP version but without archives, straight loose files. Users can also swap out the plugin for any of the other plugins since they all share the same file paths. But only commit one plugin to your game!


Does this mod work with the next gen update or the old one?
It works with both!

I have some Creation Club paints for my Pip-Boy 3000. Can I use it on this mod?
No. Those CC paints are for the Pip-Boy 3000 and not this Pip-=Boy. How skins are applied are fundamentally different from this mod.

I have a different Pip-Boy mod installed, can I switch to this one mid-game?
That depends on if that other mod adds new forms your save game relies on. While the damage would be minimal, it's not recommended. Do so at your own risk!

When I use the gold material options, they come out flat and dull??
The Gold materials are produced by vanilla cube maps, they create the golden shiny effect without increasing the file size of the mod. Mods that alter those cube maps, or even some ENB's, can mess with the textures this mod relies on. This also goes for the Bronze, Copper, and Tempered textures.

The filaments on my Pip-Boy aren't so vibrant or also look flat?
Kind of similar to the previous question, ENB's can change how emissive these filaments end up in game. I've confirmed it looks good in vanilla Fallout 4 as well as the ENB I use. I don't entirely know which one I use though lol.

What's the deal with the 2k and 4k texture options?
Both file versions are high quality BC7 compression but there is still a substantial quality difference between these two options given how the 2k option is only a quarter of the density of the 4k option. You can swap between the matching two and see which one works best for you. That wasn't supposed to rhyme. But the plugins are the same so it's safe to do so.


Makes no edits to any cells. Likely would not be compatible with other Pip-Boy replacing mods.
Pip-Boy Customization Framework: Some users have noticed some wonkiness with this mod installed, depending on load order it may or may not have an effect on the Pip-Boy 2000
Creation Club paints: CC paints are for the Pip-Boy 3000 and not the Pip-Boy 2000
Pip-Boy Flashlight: I do not currently have a patch for this mod yet but will look into it.
