1. INTRODUCTION
===============
This mod allows you to unequip the Pip boy 3000 and the Pip Boy glove. The pip boy can be equipped by pressing 'Tab' as usual, but F1-F3 will not reequip it. It can also be reequipped by pressing '9'. Pressing '9' will also add a Pip Boy to your inventory, should it have disappeared.
Please note that there are some issues due to limitations in the Fallout 3 Engine.
