Pipboy arm turned sideways!

[WizardOfAtlantis]

I don't know what happened, but between a game and the next (with a pc crash in the midst), whenever I raise my left arm to see my Pipboy, my arm is turned sidways and the Pipboy screen is effectively pointing straight up in the air!I have no idea how to correct this. This ever happen to anybody? Any ideas?

 

This is the view on screen as it is now. Even the readius does it! http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wallbash.gif

Yeah, I'm having this problem as well. I have a feeling it has something to do with Type3 Body and Armor Replacer, but I may be wrong. I just can't think of anything else I have installed that would effect it.

I had this problem too... I suppose it's a bug made by having the type 3 body replacer and possibly the shojo race mod, while wearing certain clothing. I had on the field hand outfit and I had saved. When I later loaded the game I found that I couldn't turn my pipboy arm just enough anymore. I used the console (§) and typed "player.unequipitem 000EF1CC". When the clothes were unquipped, I could access my pipboy again. Be mindful what you wear when you decide to quit the game... lol. You can find the codes for the particular clothes and armor here.

Had this happen again today, and it's totally the clothes issue like you said. Put on another outfit and the pipboy was visible. I think the outfit I tried on was the female field hand outfit, too. Thanks again http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif

I had this problem a week ago. It suddenly appeared and I couldn't figure out what had happened or WHY.

 

One day I loaded a game and...

In MY situation it was only occurring with one item of clothing my character was wearing. My only solution was to look up the item ID and

use the console to remove the offending armor item. I could re-equip it and the pip boy was as normal. However any subsequent load was

dorked with that same armor item (In this case a metal armor item with the Muscle Girl mod). I do also have Dimon type 3 installed but use that

for NPC's.

Older save games had the same issue. Whereas before that armor item caused no issues.

 

I now avoid using that metal armor on my player character. That was my main fix. ANother fix was to download a pip boy 'fix' that is in

the Muscle Girl download section that makes the pipboy really small and removes that giant clunky item from the arm. Not saying that is the

fix for this issue though. That was a fix I liked that changed the pipboy look but it is a tad small on the screen at 1920x1200. (it did solve the issue with that metal armor though)

 

Bottom line it is a bug I never really figured out. It does not appear to pop up with other gear I equip on my character.

When it does though your hosed unless you can remove the armor via console! LoL. Any 'fix' I mentioned above I'm sure is specific to my load.

I know this thread is old, but it saved my life. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was causing this bug, and it was the Type 3 clothing. I was using the dirty business suit in a female character and every time I loaded my save the pipboy and aiming would be off position. I saved it with other clothing (The sheriff duster), exited the game, loaded my save back, and the problem was gone. Apparently it only happens when you load a save with certain clothing.
