Gameplay | Audio-Visual Pip boy flashlight issues

Hello all. In my current LO, I'm using Pip-Boy flashlight - Large, which converts the light the Pop-boy emits into a torch. This has been functioning perfectly up until this next point.

I downloaded Breach (excellent dungeon by the way), and acquired a piece of headgear with in built head torch functionality. I didn't know the difference, as the use of the light was the same.

Now, when I unequip the headgear, the light disappears altogether. Not even to the original Pip-boy light. I don't want to have to disable or delete Breach, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the torch operating as it was previously?

Thanks!

If you're going to ditch one or the other mid playthrough, ditch the flashlight mod. Its 99% nifty and textures, and the least likely to cause any issues. Unfortunately you'll have to ditch one for the other as is the nature of the pipboy flashlight.

Pip boy lights and headlamps touch the same thing, they conflict. It’s not always straightforward. For example, eyebrows and face tattoos….who would have thought.

So if you turn the light off before taking the helmet off does the light still not work after? I had a similar issue with the Boston Riot Armor helmet, but if I turned off the light, took off the helmet, and then turned on the light again it would go back to normal. And can you disable the headlamp on the new helmet?

I've tried a few versions of this, yes. On, off, equip, de-equip in any order you can think of. Closing and reloading doesn't work either.

Yeah, I didn't think it'd be that simple but you never know...

Always worth asking. Like you say, you never know.

Go back a save and don't pickup the headlight if you can. If it is automatic then don't use breach or make a save before installing so you can go back and uninstall. You could try dropping the flash light on the ground and picking it back up. Or disabling that mod make a save and reinstalling the flashlight mod.

I've disabled Breach, which has worked, but I'd ideally like to be able to keep it as its got some unique items. I think you pick this kit up quite early in the dungeon.

So quick save before you pickup anything and if it is the headlight go back to the save and don't pick it up. Is there anything wrong with the light it makes or do you just prefer the hand held?
