Is it safe to use the Readius?

Post by **LikeSenpai** » Sat Apr 27, 2013 4:31 pm

I was just wondering with the new TTW 2.2a if the Readius mod plays nice with it now or if I should just use the Pip boy 2500 mod instead?

Did you try searching readius here? I know there used to be a patch, but that was for 1.4. Though I have heard people are having more luck with Pip-Boy 2500.

though you should always wait until you're out of Vault 101 to use it and disable it in Tranquility Lane

I did a search and didn't find anything that seemed to regard 2.0+ and I read that the patch is broken. I did end up downloading the Pip-Boy 2500 because I can't stand the 3000 anymore.

That is exactly what I'll do when the time comes. Thank you.

Don't activate Readius until after birthday party when you get first pip-boy and deactivate it just before entering pod in vault 92 and re-activate after saving dad. These are the only issues i have had using Readius.

It is safe as it is safe with the vanilla games. Which sounds good at first but...

Readius and also the familar friend doesn't like it when they are removed from the player and can lead to a crash. There are situations in FO3 (TQ lane for example) and also NV (getting the Pimpboy) where this happens. Sadly non of the pipboy replacer authors was interested to cover this problems and make workarounds for it.

As conclusion I can say, no "Raedius" and a "Familar Friend" aren't safe to use neither in TTW nor in the vanilla games.

I think if you use Readius you will always have some some mod compatibility hurdles, in my experience. Possibly more than any other NV mod. And it always used to unequip my weapons, which was most unwelcome. I changed to Pipboy Remover. It's clean, just dont use it before exiting v101.
