📋 About This Mod

Bandit Facemask Disguise

With great help from FrankFamily and assets by Volvaga0

Please read this mod description thoroughly, as this mod actually does quite a lot for such a little package.

This mod, although somewhat complex, is actually very compatible and script friendly.

There are no constantly polling scripts or anything dangerous.

The only performance issue may be from some script lag ONLY when equipping or unequipping the facemasks as the player.

Without further adieu...

Welcome to Bandit Facemask Disguise.

WHAT DOES IT DO:

This mod adds new, standalone Facemasks to the game that will be seen on Bandits throughout the land.

The player can now join the Bandits and walk among them as an ally by simply equipping a Facemask.

Be aware, if Bandits see you without your mask they will assume you are hostile and attack, at which point equipping a Facemask will not quell their blood-thirst.

As a bandit, you will also have some anonymity from your regular self.

Any bounties accrued while wearing a Facemask will be tracked separately to your regular bounties, so go and get your hands dirty!

Your Bandit reputation will remain for 30 seconds after you remove the mask, this applied to bandit friendliness AND your separate Bandit Bounty.

You will receive a notification when the effect wears off, at that point you are back on your regular bounty.

This serves two purposes:

1. It stops bandits from attacking you if you accidentally unequip your mask, but only for 30 seconds (unless you re-equip one before the effect wears off).

2. It gives you time to clear your Bandit Bounty. Simply get arrested while wearing your mask. Your gear will be removed while you are in jail, 

but if you sleep to "Serve Time" before the effect wears off it will pay your regular AND bandit bounty.

Guards will not attack you on sight just for having the facemask equipped, only if you have accrued bounty.

Regular people will talk to you as normal as well, they don't care that you have some cloth on your face.

The facemasks can all be crafted at a tanning rack in exchange for some ruin

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-tested with 384 endorsements and over 10k downloads, so it's got a solid user base.
  • Opens up a fun roleplay angle—you can actually infiltrate bandit camps instead of just fighting through them.
  • Standalone items mean no conflicts with other armor mods that overhaul existing gear.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods like USSEP.
  • The description cuts off mid-sentence, so the full bounty mechanic is unclear—might be incomplete or buggy.
  • Since it adds new items, it could conflict with mods that alter bandit inventories or leveled lists.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim roleplayers who want to live out a bandit fantasy and sneak into camps without combat. Also for collectors of niche cosmetic mods. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely a disguise mechanic.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to check if the mod requires a specific load order—place it after other mods that affect bandits.
  • If you're using a mod manager, preview the facemasks in-game to see how they look on your character before committing.
  • Since the description is cut off, test the bounty mechanic in a save before relying on it for your playthrough.
