Ever wanted to stay extra safe from rads, but worried someone might take a screenshot and miss your good side while it's hidden under a bulky Protective mask? Worry no more! Institute technology makes applying all that strangely abundant wasteland makeup every morning worth the while, all while keeping you safe from harmful face radiation™! Includes 3 size options (standard, open, and Tall), and 32 color options, so you can match any outfit!
Wearable by male/female characters, size options are purely cosmetic, stats do not change despite coverage.
Uses the 'mask' biped slot, which means it can be worn with most other forms of headgear including the UniHeadset.
I'm always looking for comments/criticism to improve my mods, while I may not respond to everything I will never ban you from my mods for providing your input or asking questions.
REMINDER: Screenshot auto-approve is ALWAYS on for all of my mods, showoff those pretty and well protected faces to your hearts content.
