Lost Pip boy: How do I get it back?

[chuckdaintern]

Hi I'm not sure if this has been asked so I'll ask it & I'm not sure if it's fixable but worth a try.

My Steam got accidentally deleted by my little brother & all my games along with it. The main one being Fallout 4 & it was modded.

I got the game reinstalled but my pip boy won't show back up, I had a modded one so I thought that if the mod was deleted the old pip boy would pop back up well that's not the case & I can't even get the NEW modded pip boy to show up, all I get is a arm with a blurred screen. I'm lvl 71 & way to far into this game to completely start over so I'm hoping it's something that can be fixed with in the Nexus Mod Manager.

Odd as it seems it appears that most of my mods are functioning properly but I need the pip boy for inventory control & fast travel. Any help that anyone can give would be great.

I can only assume the Pip-Boy mod you have has some sort of FAQ that could help you with this. Like a console command or something. Other than that, I'm not really sure. Unless your load order is exactly the same as it was before you lost everything, this save could also be potentially ruined.

You could try Verifying your Game Cache in Steam.

 

To validate a game’s cache, right-click the game in your Steam library and select Properties. In the properties window, click the Local Files tab and click the Verify Integrity of Game Cache button.

 

That should get your original Pip Boy back again.

Rabbit. The validate game files did not work. But I thank both of you for your suggestions. Isn't there a way to get it back thru the console commands ??

I can't remember but doesn't it go something like this...

 

Help4 & then whatever you are looking for??

 

I know that player additem "item name or #" goes here.

 

I have screen shots if anyone is interested in seeing them to try & help me but I have no way to post them here, maybe email them ???

I think the thread is left so others who have a similar problem can find and read it. Glad you got the problem resolved.

OK I'll say this I got the number fix for the console via a search on how to fix it & I then watched several video's on YouTube. But the video I found was way too complicated so I read all the comments & just found out I could enter the number. Thank God that that little simple step worked.

 

I had over 200hrs in modding & base building, my Steam went wonky & had probs & with out thinking I uninstalled it & after I realized it was gonna delete all my work it was to late. I'm just now getting back into it & there's a lot to repair. I'm taking it slow this time & redoing the mods I actually need & the ones I had trouble with or didn't quite work will be left to the way side. This was a blessing & a curse, have I learned NOT to mod my games NO !! but I'm not as mod happy as I was.

 

Let this be a lesson to those that mod & are modding. I'm sure some people have had issues but when it comes to Steam & having to reinstall it you will have to make a decision to mod or not to re-mod....
