MrShadowBlood Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Trying to create a helmet in a mod from a head on a outfit. It is a plague doctor outfit I ported with a mod author's permission and trying to make the head into a helmet which I took the hat off. I am able to make the helmet but it replaces the head of all the outfits so now non of the outfits have the hat which is what I am trying to prevent. Can some one please tell me exactly how to make a helmet from a head of an outfit that is a nif copy which I modified so it does not have a hat?

Dragoon23 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Can you put up some screenshots? I'm having a hard time visualizing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a hard time visualizing the problem.https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/36962?tab=posts&BH=0 here the mod link which provides pictures and here is the pic of the would be helm, just ignore the non existent neck since I can fix that https://imgur.com/a/w0eZja5 This would be helmet is fine but anytime I make it then it will always replace the head on the outfit making it have no hat.

Dragoon23 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) That's how vanilla headgear work though iirc: You can only have one hat/helmet/circlet on at any time. You'd need another mod to override that. So if you want something with a hat only, you'd have to make a nif that only has the hat present as a circlet so the face is visible. You'd probably have to make a hat+bird mask nif and a bird mask only nif to cover all scenarios. Edited June 10, 2020 by Dragoon23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShadowBlood Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Weird thing is That's how vanilla headgear work though iirc: You can only have one hat/helmet/circlet on at any time.

I can use circlets and helmets on the normal outfit since the entire outfit is labeled as an armor but I am trying to make a helmet with a modified NIF file which does not have the hat which works but keeps replacing the head of all the outfits with that NIF file, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShadowBlood Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/images/725196 also the plague doctor on the right has the mask which is now a helmet or circlet but having trouble making it in the mod because it some how always replaces the head on the outfit.

Dragoon23 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Alrite, I'm quite confused on what you're going for. Are you trying to make a helmet/headgear or an actual head that's part of a race or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
