Ikaros pip boy not working

[Nuts_berserkin]

I've been playing with the ikaros androids mod for a while now and all of a sudden my pip boy just stopped showing up. It's only on my ikaros character all the other ones work fine and I don't have any mods that have to do with the pip boy. Any suggestions?

Its possible you have a mod that forces your character to unequip the PipBoy. Build Your Own Pool is one such mod but you can disable this feature in the mod's holotape.

You can equip the pipboy on your character by doing the following:

Open console

type player.equipitem 00021b3b

As SSNY pointed out mods interfering can have nothing to do with the pipboy. Animation mods are a big culprit because they will remove it during an animation.

Only other way would be if something happened to the pipboy mod and the mod specific one you are wearing was "disabled" because the mod did not load. Probable causes for that would be if the mod has a required mod, and the required mod is having a version clash.

I've tried this and it doesn't work I've even gone back to the first save on the character before she used the ikaros race and the pipboy worked fine but after I changed it the pipboy disappeared again

Then that falls into the second part I mentioned. Something is preventing the mod from working.

i think you might be using the initial release of that mod since according to a document I just read on Tropihunter’s website, the pipboy unequipping issue was resolved in a later version. Additionally, there’s an even more recent version available.

I suggest you check your version number and update if needed. If you already have the latest version, then you should submit a bug report on the author’s website. I believe he also has a Discord server where you might be able to find the answer.

I downloaded the mod in december of last year off the trophihunter website. Is there a new version already and if so how do I update it?

You'd have to find that out for yourself by comparing the latest version number on the website with the one you have installed.

Unless specified by the author, older mod versions should be UNINSTALLED before installing any new version. I've been adding mods to Bethesda games for more years than I care to remember and I've always found this technique to be the cleanest and safest. No doubt you'll get different opinions on this but this is what has always worked for me.

Starting a new game should not be necessary , just make sure you create a hard save BEFORE doing anything. This is standard operating procedure before installing ANY mod.

After you install the new version, load up the save you just made and check your game for stability, the pipboy issue resolved, etc. Once you're satisfied everything is as it should be, you can play on like nothing has happened. HOWEVER, I strongly recommend that you do NOT overwrite that save you made, just in case there's a problem further down the road.

Thanks again but I just checked and I have the newest version any other suggestions?

Nevermind thank you for all the help but I fixed it I just placed pip boy flashlight mod to load before ikaros and the problem solved itself I forgot I even had that mod installed but everything is good now thank you nonetheless!

That is the most annoying part of helping people out.
Part of it is our fault for not asking for a load order.

I would have suggested another pipboy mod was blocking it from loading properly, but you said you were not using any.

At any rate, the reason it works now is because the last mod loaded overwrites previous mods coding. So basically the way the flashlight mod was written was it overwrote some duplicate lines and made the mod fail.

You could go put a message on the Ikaros page on Nexus and maybe the modder can create a compatibility patch.
