Sounds like you have a chameleon armor piece. They work great for sneaking but they seem to glitch when you open your pip boy. I have learned to move and open at the same time or stand and open my inventory. I have one arm chameleon and one leg sprinter and it's a pretty sweet combo.

I've noticed now that when I crouch in sneak mode, I go invisible like the stealth boy.
 
It kinda goes in and out of the stealth mode?  Is this a glitch?  I've never noticed this before and it just started doing it.
 
I've only got 1 perk for stealth which only says I'm 30% harder to detect.

 
Have you tried verifying your cache? Also, are you wearing any type of armor that will give you stealth mode?

What is verifying cache?
I'll have to check my armor, that could be it.

 
In Steam, go to your game library, select Fall Out 4, Then Right click on Fall Out 4, new window will appear, then scroll down to Properties, Left click on Properties, new window will appear, look in the new window for Local Files at the top of that window, Click on Local Files, scroll down the list to VERIFY Integrity. click on that and the rest will continue from there.

Yeah, Kent was the radio broadcaster of the Silver Shadow radio station but he didn't make it. I would ask for a moment of silence as we remember poor Kent and thank him for his contribution to my inventory as his bared naked corpse lies decomposing in the basement of that hospital. LOL I did let him keep his underwear.

The drive in theater settlement... I could not understand why that little pond in the middle was giving off radiation. Well I did, but I could not figure out how to fix it. I finally realized yesterday that I could destroy the radiation barrels. How stupid I felt . I'm designing a base which is built around the pond. Built a water pump which gives 40 points to your water source. It's looking awesome.

 
I found that out a while back also. Have you picked the perk that allows you to breath under water? You'll need it as there are more settlement areas that you can clean the water around them and gain scrap for building.

Hmmm... I was not aware that I would be going underwater. I'll check it out the next time I level.

 
I'll try and not spoil it here. Some of your settlements that are partially on bodies of water will have, in some cases, their borders that will extend in the water. What is below the surface of that water, within the borders, you can scrap. Hopefully you get what I am talking about.

Clearly I haven't finished the game fully, it looks like. I have noticed though when you clear out a building, all you have to do is come back the next day, and items will reappear. I can't confirm if they're the same items, but they do come back.
I'll give it a whirl at other sites that have "water".

I must have his twin brother then because he is present at his office at the radio station. LOL

Apparently not. There is a lot of stuff under water but you really need the perk to breath under water to make it less tedious.
 
At one of the settlements (Covenent) if you do it right you can gain a lot of items from dead bodies as they keep replenishing over a short period of time. I found that by accident.

Working my way back through the story line.   Used the dog to locate a certain person hiding in a military base.  Went back and got the power armor.   Everybody ran away.   
 
I could get used to this.  Though it is mildly annoying having to chase them down so I could club them over the head.

FO 4 has an automatic last place indicator for power armor that is logged on your pipboy. Knowing this you could always step out of your power armor and see if they would come back and party with you. LOL

Thanks whiskers54.  As soon as I posted that I realized what it was, I had to do this once with the Witcher 3.
 
I do have a couple chameleon armor pieces so that could be it, I'm going to verify tonight.  On a side note I just picked up Cait...now I see what everyone was talking about!  Only problem is I've stacked my lone wanderer perk and am so used to being able to carry a ton of weight, I think my baseline is like 445.
Now if I travel with a companion it cuts that in half so I gotta figure out what to store.
What happens if I store my weapons mods?  Does that take away from my guns I've created?  I know that's kind of a stupid question but I have a boatload of weapons mods that I need to figure out what to dump.

No.  You won't lose the mods.  You can use the mods to reapply it to the weapon if you want to return to that particular mod.  Also, I think you can apply that mod to another weapon of the same type.
 
@Stalin.  I keep forgetting to mention this.   My second card is actually clocking higher in the game than my first card.
