I can't open my Pip-Boy

I installed a ton of mods for New Vegas, and now I can't open my Pip-Boy. Pressing the button just turns the light on and off, so I can't access my inventory or anything. My load order:

This may sound rudimentary, but if you have a pipboy mod, you may want to ensure that it's checked at the FOMM menu when you start the game. If it continues not to work, I'd recommend trying to install the PDA-pipboy mod. I hope it helps!

I'm using the Pip-Boy 2500 mod, and it's checked. I don't know why it's doing this, because the Pip-Boy 2500 mod worked fine in FO3.

It might be conflicting with the original pip-boy, try a different pip-boy mod like the Readius from my experience with the readius I have had no issues besides custom textures I've made for it.

Something like this happened to me, did you had another pip-boy mod instaled before you tried the new one?

Nope. The only one I have installed is the Pip-Boy 2500. And to uninstall it properly I have to use an item in my inventory, but obviously I can't do that.

I installed the Readius, and it's still not working.

Just checking all bases here, but are you sure the button to bring up he pip-boy didn't get changed to something else, this can sometimes happen and we don't realise

Yes.

Right, I tried installing the Pip-boy mod in question myself, but it wouldn't show up (the hand moved into position but the pip-boy was a no show), my only other advice I have right now is to uninstall you mods, see if it works, then reinstall each mod 1 at a time until you find the one that was causing the problem, If you've already done that then the only thing I can think of is to reinstall the game and delete all mod files. Sorry I can't be of any real help.

Okay, I tried disabling all mods, and now I can bring up the Pip-Boy, but it is invisible.

The overall problem with the Invisible pip-boy may lie with that you're now trying to load a save where the mods were active, the game sometimes can't adjust for having the mods removed and so some things don't turn out right, the only solution is to load a save prior to mod installations or start a new game, these saves will hopefully have been unaffected by the mods.

I've done both. It's still invisible.

If you still have the Readius mod delete it and it's BSA file, these may be in your new vegas directory, if the Readius_NV.BSA is still in the directory, delete it, it may be the cause of the invisible pip-boy.

Too late. I uninstalled the game because I gave up.

If you decide to reinstall the game, I have some tips. If you plan to download a ton of mods, try to organize them; I DL the overhauls first, and then try to integrate the smaller things. Each time I download a mod, I start the game to see if it'll function properly. You should also be sure to read the descriptions of each overhaul and make certain that they don't try to replace the same functions with variations of their own. It might seem elementary, but I'm sure that that's what happened in your modding efforts. Try to reinstall the game and your mods, but be slightly more vigilant this time. Your efforts will be rewarding!

Would the New Vegas Restoration mod be considered an overhaul? Edit: I re-installed the game and got everything working.
