I haven't had time to devote to Vault Girl Mod, too many other projects and real life things to deal with. I have allowed AliasNeo to release and maintain the mod, they've also compiled content from other similar mods.
Best, bigC
Introduction
This mod is intended to increase the prominence of Vault Girl in the game. This mod replaces textures in the game world and parts of the user interface to feature vault girl. There are three main options available for Vault Girl. One of my own design, the classic fallout Vault Girl, and one based on the popular Vault Girl design by shadman. There is already an Alpha version of the mod available for download that I continuously update.
This eliminates the need for the vanilla level up menu, which I have no plans to use.
Change Log
Version 1.9.4
Added several new patches for Def_UI and Def_UI + HUDFramework in a variety of aspect ratios.
New pajama pants options for Well Rested Perk.
Added default quest animation for when it pops up on screen.
Status screen body option of Vault Girl wearing underwear/bikini (total fanservice, but can be used as a base for other outfits).
Status screen head option inspired by Wendy's mascot (lol).
Also added Hair bounce to some of the Vault Girl head options.
Spoiler
Version 1.9.3
There is now a patch for HUDFramework alone along with HUDFramework with Def_UI
The inventory file is now an optional since some people have had issues with it.
Added 3 status screen head options. One inspired by 2B and the other two are Vault Girl with a Nord helmet.
Fixed a problem where the Blitz perk was showing both Vault Boy and Vault Girl.
There is now a perkchart option with Vault Girl replacing the SPECIAL animations.
Note: The controller buttons are not visible and I've been told there may be some visual glitches. As far as I know these can not be fixed. I've noticed some little things off with two of the SPECIAL animations and I will try to fix them with a future update.
Version 1.9.2
Fixes file link to the Catwoman head option for the status screen.
Adds two new Vault Girl variants of the Big Boss head for the status screen.
Version 1.9.1
Fixed file links for the Full Dialog Default Patch.
Fixed some mismatched options in the Lover's Embrace section.
Version 1.9
New Stats menu options for heads, and a new body.
Two new sets of Vault Girl sign textures.
Two new sets of Vault Girl SPECIAL icons
New Vault Girl options for VATS, INVENTORY, HUDmenu.
Compatibility patches for HUDframework.
A couple of new perks (none of them are very unique, forgot which ones they are).
Several new options for the lovers embrace perk animation.
Other vault girl options for the well rested perk.
I think that's it, just tons of new options, and added new Vault Girls. The file size is bigger now. I removed a lot of work files (like Photoshop files and FLA files) that were unnecessary to make it a more manageable size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Spoiler
Q: How do install this thing?!?!?!?!?!
A: If you are having trouble installing. You can install the mod using the Nexus Mod Manager. Go to your mods list and press the green plus symbol to add a new mod from file. Select the zip file you downloaded that has my mod in it and add it to NMM. Then activate it like normal.
A: I know about that mod and I talked to him during the development of it. The creator of a My Little Pony mod, Lazyradly, has said they will help me with the levelup menu. It would be awesome if the whole perk chart got done, but that is a tall order and I don't make any promises. I currently just plan to do the SPECIAL and maybe the perks that already have Vault Girl on them.
Q: Are you going to make the bobbleheads too? Can you make the statue?!?!?!?!
A: NO! There are already two excellent bobblehead mods available, and you should talk to those modders about it.
Q: Hey is ______ mod compatible?!?!?!? Can you make a patch for it?!?!?!?!?
A: Please check for yourself if mods are compatible, there are thousands of mods on the nexus and some are bound to conflict. If you can't make a patch yourself, it would be greatly appreciated if you asked the author of the other mod if they are okay with people making patches for their mods. Permission is important on the Nexus.
I will add more questions and answers as they are asked or I think of them.
If you want to craft posters from this mod in the workshop, these mods add posters to the workshop:
So while an icon replacer mod might not seem like that big of a mod, it really is. Just counting perks there are 70 animations, and then another 70 that are colored in the skill tree (don't get me started on that, I have no idea how to edit it yet). There are like 20 variants on the walking animation for the status screen, and then several other random animations scattered throughout the game.

How I'm Doing This (and You Can Too)
Spoiler
Well you need to make sure you made it so Fallout 4 mods read loose files (which you probably already did because you're on a modding website).
You're going to need some way to extract files from Fallout 4. I have been using the Bethesda Archive Extractor. There may be other/better ways, let me know! By the way, all the Vault Boy animations from the hud, and pipboy can be found in the interface folder.
To edit these SWF files you will need Adobe Flash (CS6 or something like that) and a flash decompiler. The Flash Decompiler I have been using is called JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler. Though I have heard sothink flash decompiler is good.
So what I'm hoping to do is release the first version of the mod once the status animations are done, and the hud pop ups, special icons, crafting icons, inventory icons, and most if not all of the world objects I've found are converted to Vault Girl. Also all the pre existing vault girl perks converted to this vault girl.
Most important thing is getting the status animations made, but it is a tedious process since there are 17 variations with different limbs broken.
I'm not going to worry about the perk chart for now.
Been following your work for a while now bigCman, totally respect your decision to go SFW this time around. Good luck, but no need to rush yourself either!
