DESCRIPTION
Performance friendly retexture of our beloved Pip-Boy 3000 Mk IV to resemble Shōtarō Kaneda’s bike from the manga and anime AKIRA! It’s really just a cherry red pipboy with the ever iconic stickers. Quite a simple retexture, but I’m working my way to more difficult themes I have in mind and thought I’d share.
In case you’re here and aren’t familiar with AKIRA here’s an excerpt from the 1988 film. It is set in Neo-Tokyo, a futuristic city in 2019 after WWIII follwing nuclear detonations in 1988 Welcome to the wonderful work of AKIRA:
INSTALLATION
Edit your Fallout4.ini (Documents/My Games/Fallout 4):
sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ to sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\
Extract files “Textures” folder to your Fallout directory Data folder: X:\……Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data
And that should be it.
This is so that your game will know to include these loose texture files while loading. If you already have other values such as MUSIC\ or MESHES\, just add textures to the end of it. Afterward, you’ll want to set your ini file to READ-ONLY (right click file and go to properties). If you want to make changes to your settings (ie resolution, pipboy color, graphic settings, etc) you’ll want to turn off the read-only flag and make your changes before turning it on again. Fallout 4 likes to occasionally tweak your ini file, hence the manual read-only setting.
CHANGELOG
Added a “No Stickers” Version.
Version 1.0
– Release

Logo likeness/insp from Shadman’s Vault Girl and bigCman123’s interpretation. She’s a cutie and this is my take on it.
