Solution: Pipboy light not working.

[Cthullio]

After scouring the internet and pursuing other forums I've discovered that many players have encountered Pipboy light activation problems and the solutions were often a bit extreme.

With this new patch and the modding community playing catch up I was hoping that perhaps I could stop someone from going through the trouble of re-installing their game and playing whack-a-mole with their mod orders.

The solution to your light not turning on is unbelievably simple in most cases...
Simply hit escape, go to your settings and reset your keyboard configuration to 'default.'
Exit, and you'll see that your light is back to working again.

After this, you can go back to changing your keyboard settings again.

It's that whole 'tab' 'builder' 'light on/off' thing that gets messed up.

I can't explain it, but it's worked for three people that I know so far, so good luck if you have the same issue.

I'm using akkalat85's Pipboy flashlight mod, and it's working again perfectly.

Awesome mod by the way. Thank you so much, Dude!

When my tab won't work it's either because I opened overlay or alt tabbed, doing that again fixes it everytime.
