Went through the whole How Little We Know quest, and was awarded the Pimpboy 3 Billion at Mick and Ralph's. The dialog allows to me keep equipping the Pimpboy, the music is played, the Wild Wasteland notifications comes up, but the regular Pipboy is the only thing that shows up.
If there's no way to use it now, a fix in the next update would be appreciated.
There are several vanilla bugs with the 3-billion: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Pimp-Boy_3_Billion
Or maybe it's a mod you are using. TTW shouldn't do anything to the 3-billion on its own.
You can also add the Pimp-Boy manually using console command
player.additem 11bacb 1
and then
player.equipitem 11bacb
To revert back to your old Pip-Boy enter
player.equipitem 15038
I'll try that. I've never had a problem with it before, I just figured since I had combined the two games it might account for something. Still, if anyone else is having this same problem, I think they should report it here.
buuut, I know that it's really tricky to deal with in the vanilla game, so it might be really hard to tell what's what. Hopefully it's just me, but if someone can duplicate it, I hope they say something. Anyway, thanks for the help! Not only an amazing mod and site, but the people who run it are friendly and helpful! You guys rule.
I have this exact same problem, Mick gives me the option to switch to the Pimpboy indefinitely but it never changes. I never had this problem before TTW. I'm not using any other mods.
The console commands don't work, player.equipitem gives an indication but nothing actually happens.
There's just a bunch of problems with the whole thing ingame. It requires VERY specific steps to acquire.
But not being able to add and equip through console sounds like there's a mod conflict...but I could be wrong.
The first time I tried to add the Pimboy through console, I was actually adding the regular one and couldn't figure out why I wasn't using the Pimpboy. Just make sure you're using the id for Pimpboy and not the regular.
