Hiding Vampirism Under Helmets v1. 1. 1 (OpenMW)
Author: Severus3107
Description
This mod allows vampires to hide their vampirism from NPCs by using ANY closed helmets (and even open ones if you enable this option in the settings), including helmets from mods. This mod is compatible with any mods that change the default vampirism or add a new type of vampirism. If you put on or take off a closed helmet during a pause, your character's appearance will only change when you resume the game (this is done to avoid graphical bugs). You do not need to remove the helmet when transforming into a vampire or healing from vampirism. This mod works with NPCs from Tamriel Rebuilt. I recommend using my other mod, Protection From Sun Damage, with this mod. It allows you to protect yourself from sun damage using clothing and armor.
You can use the command "StartScript HVUH_test" to test this mod after installation. This command will turn you into a vampire of the Aundae clan (if you are not already a vampire), teleport you to the Guild of Mages in Balmora and add 1 closed and 1 open helmet to your inventory.For localizers
By default, the mod has Russian and English localizations. It is recommended to use the Russian localization as a basis for translations.
Below is a list of texts that require localization:
-
[]L10n/HidingVampirismUnderHelmets/: create .yaml file with your translation[/]
[]Hiding Vampirism Under Helmets.omwaddon:
[]File -> Metadata: File Description[/]
[]Mechanics -> Scripts: HVUH_test[/]
Requirements
Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon. The mod will only work on OpenMW. Testing was conducted on OpenMW 0. 50
Installation
Move three files: "Hiding Vampirism Under Helmets.omwaddon" (select one omwaddon file with the localization you need), "Hiding Vampirism Under Helmets.omwscripts" and "Hiding Vampirism Under Helmets.bsa" to the data directory (for example, in Data Files). Then, in the OpenMW launcher, check the boxes next to all three files.
Update
Follow the same steps as when installing the mod, confirming the replacement of files.
Uninstallation
Delete the three files that were moved to the data directory during installation.

Hiding Vampirism Under Helmets v1. 1. 1 (OpenMW)
This OpenMW mod lets vampires hide their vampirism from NPCs by wearing any closed helmet, with an optional setting for open helmets. It works with all NPCs, including those from Tamriel Rebuilt, and supports helmets from other mods. A niche but useful tool for vampire players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective solution for vampire roleplay.
- Works with any helmet, including modded ones.
- Compatible with Tamriel Rebuilt NPCs.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (22) — niche audience.
- Requires OpenMW — not for original Morrowind engine.
For Morrowind players using OpenMW who want to play as a vampire without constant NPC hostility. Also great for roleplayers who want to blend in while wearing helmets. Skip if you play on the original engine or don't care about vampire stealth.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW, not the original Morrowind engine, as this mod won't work otherwise.
- Check the mod's settings to enable hiding with open helmets if you prefer that look.
- If you use Tamriel Rebuilt, this mod will work with its NPCs automatically.
