📋 About This Mod
This was originally a functionality included in Warmonger Armory, but I did not want to add the whole armory to my game just to get this.
I found another mod (Belt-Worn DP masks), but I still needed to install Warmonger Armory assests to use it.
So I thought I'd make a simple standalone version to make installing it even easier.
I did NOT make this mod, if you want to give credit go give kudos to Batmanna who made the awesome Warmonger Armory mod, Duckzilla who ported it to SSE and to Kpvw who made the .esp to only contain the DP functionality.
I've been a big fan of this little addition since I found it back in the Oldrim days, so a big thank you to Batmanna for creating this.
Description
This mod allows you to convert any dragonpriest mask into its corresponding 'belt-version', included the ones from the Dragonborn DLC.
You can equip 2 masks at a time (3 if you wear one on your face too) in total.
The belt-versions will each grant you their enchantment effects.
The belt-versions can be created at a forge and the recipes will only show if you have the masks in your inventory.
They can be reverse crafted to normal again following the same procedure.
Be aware; there is a bug which makes the Nahkriin belt-version invisible.
the enchantments and everything still work, but the model becomes invisible when equipped. I'm looking into this.
