📋 About This Mod

Info

Ranger combat helmets despite covering the entirety of a character's head, they still function essentially like a hat. So if your character has anything sticking out, maybe a big head, exaggerated facial features, and/or crazy hair, it's all going to clip through the ranger helmet pretty badly. Ranger Combat Helmets Clipping Fix provides a quick ESPLESS fix for all ranger combat helmets in the game. It also covers up the bareskin neck.

Requirements

Fallout New Vegas

Honest Hearts

Lonesome Road

New Vegas Script Extender (NVSE xNVSE)

JIP LN NVSE

Mod Recommendation

I recommend my Natural Duster Coats for the complete combat ranger experience. It rerigs the ranger combat armors' shoulders and coats, and also fixes some of the long standing issues that have plagued these armors since day one.

Compatibility

This is a mesh replacement only mod with default texture paths. It is compatible with any texture mods that use the default texture paths. Mods that replace the mesh files to change the shader settings will need to be patched. A patched version for ADAM Reborn is available in the download section.

In order to hide the character head when wearing the helmet, the mod has to run a script to make the helmet occupy the head slot. This means it will no longer be possible to wear any object that occupies the head slot over a ranger combat helmet. The mod also adds a female version with a thinner neck for each helmet mesh.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESP-less, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
  • Make sure you have the ranger combat helmets from the base game or DLC; this fix won't apply to modded variants.
  • If you're on PC, verify the files are in the correct directory (Fallout 4/Data) to avoid conflicts.
