True Hidden Armors and Helmets

This mod is designed as a spiritual successor of Concealed Armors mod. It improves compatibility with dynamic armor patching via F4SE plugin, extends support for headgear (with working hair) and adds new features like holotape to toggle visibility on the go.

The new Concealed Armors Technology System holotape should be added to your inventory upon loading into the Commonwealth for the first time after installing this mod. Upon loading the CATS software holotape, you will have a choice to toggle visibility of currently equipped armor items.

Features:

•  Hide most of vanilla and DLC armors, helmets, hats with crafting or a new holotape.

•  Partial support for glasses, which can be concealed in armor workbench.

•  Works on player and NPCs.

•  Low chance for conflicts via dynamic patching with F4SE plugin.

•  Headgear support can be disabled by modifying Setup.json file.

Limitations:

Slick holotape, or concealed headgear with visible hair, unfortunately required a few hacks and tricks to improve compatibility and stability. As such, there are a few limitations this mod has.

•  Hair seldomly might show / hide with half a sec lag.

•  Holotape will allow to hide / show armor piece only when you have exactly 1 item of this type in the inventory.

Compatibility:

•  Made for and tested primarily on Anniversary Edition update.

•  Experimental OG version available.

•  Not compatible with any other mod like this or Concealed Armors.

•  Not compatible with mods adding items using bipped slot 58.

If Concealed Armors will be detected, the mod will refuse to initialize.

Custom armors:

Adding support for (not overly complicated) armors should be as easy as making a simple plugin containing few form lists, and adding new json files into directory F4SE/Plugins/CatsArmor/Armor or F4SE/Plugins/CatsArmor/Headgear. Check the setup for vanilla items for inspiration.

Disclaimer:

This is a first release of an experimental mod. Smaller issues might happen, please report them and I will try to investigate them. This mod should be "safe" to uninstall mid game. It is not advised, such actions are never really safe, but implementation doesn't have any outstanding, unsafe parts.

Bug reporting:

If you want to report a bug, then please include files f4se.log and CatsArmorPlugin.log from directory C:\Users\{username}\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\F4SE. If you don't have any of the files - mention it. Bug reports without log files (or a mention that files are missing)
