Barter Menu for Companion : Toggle item display on/off ?

[ouibonjour]

What I mean is the item overlay in between player Inventory and Follower/NPC Inventory.

The reason I'd like that is that I sometimes craft a whole pack of new outfits and want to try them all on my companion and choose the one I want. However, the overlay of the item in the barter menu is blocking the view most of the time. Having to exit the trade menu between each outfit to see it is kinda long, especially when you try to come back to the Trade option but your companion skips the choice for TRADE and go to TALK right away 5 times out of 6 (for this I have a mod that allow me to get their invotry right away by pressing B button).

What I often do to avoid this is just console TM to remove all menu, then see the outfit, then do a blind console tm to bring it back. But yeah, that's also an annoying process when you want to try several outfit/clothing combinations. Just to be able to toggle the image of the item in the middle would be nice (anyways, most of the time it's just a folded version that does not really show how it will look like).

In the same vain, I noticed that often when I ask my companions to trade, they reply "sure, have a look" and then they turn their back and start walking as the inventory menu appear, "pausing" the game for the menu while their back is facing me. Any ideas what is causing this and how I could force them to look at me while we're in the Inventory menu ?

 

Thanks!

Yes it can be a real pain when you're trying a bunch of outfits. If you select the companion form a distance, (command mode) as you would do to have a follower pick a lock. You will get the trade option every time as you approach them . If you tell them to wait there, before you open the trade menu, it stops them from walking away and seems to help with them turning their back on you.

I don't know of any barter menu mod to turn that preview on and off. If the item you're working with has a go/world item it's what you see displayed. Crafting Highlights Fix gives you a clear image of your world item in that preview.
