Missing Pip-boy
So, I somehow broke the game. XD

I was moving around my power armour set (putting them in a shed just for them) and one of them was just a frame - no armour pieces on it. Got into the armour and then couldn't get out! It wouldn't let me exit or check my pipboy. So I got the bright idea to do the only thing I seemingly could - jump into another armour instead.

Jumped into the other armour and the exoskeleton armour was absorbed straight into it! orz

Well, I jump out of that armour and try to jump out of the exoskeleton but it's just not showing up at all. I quit the game hoping it will reset... nope. Now I've no exoskeleton armour, my pipboy isn't showing up at all (the only options I get when I go into the pipboy screen are the initial options of stimpack, radaway, check effects and perk chart. Perk chart works, but it just goes back to the empty screen (no pipboy overlay at all bar those choices). So... yeah.

I've got old saves, of course, but figured, hey, anyone know what the hell is going on with this or a way to fix it? It's an odd bug, that's for sure.

UPDATE (still an issue):
So I tried switching POV.
I tried quicksave/quickload.
I tried editing out the extra frame using console commands.
I tried stripping naked (in game), jumping back in the Power Armour and jumping out again.
I tried unequipping, then re-equipping my pip-boy.

No change. There was an extra frame in my pack (found with console command) and I got rid of it as instructed, but it didn't change anything. I have no idea how to fix this at all. My arm isn't even moving up to my face (the normal animation for looking at your pip-boy). I can interact with the pip-boy but it's completely invisible.

I only have the pipboy problem did you manage to figure it out?

Unfortunately not. I tried a variety of different 'solutions' with no luck. There's some out there that might work for you, though. Apparently there's a lot of issues with the pip-boy disappearing. The most common fix is quickly quicksaving and reloading or going into 3rd person view and back to first.

Another uses console commands to re-equip the pip-boy and yet another is for use when it disappears due to the frame issue (basically duplication of a frame in the inventory) and while that looked like it was the issue, it didn't work for me.

Switch to third-person and back to first-person. That fixes it for me.

Yeah, no. It doesn't work, which I already said in my above post. >.<;

Hi there! Don't know if you're still experiencing the problem but the symptoms seem similar to what I've experienced.
Give this guide a try and it should fix your problem:
