📋 About This Mod

Fixes for Improved Closefaced Helmets.

Description

Contains a plugin replacer with the following fixes:

  • []Fixed beards sticking out of helmets with the help of Beard Mask Fix by adding slot 44 to all helmets that should close beard (i.e. all changed by ICH except the imperial one)

    []Fixed errors in the plugin

    []Removed ITMs and wild edits

    []Forwarded edits from Update.esm, USSEP and fixes from the ICH-WACCF Patch from kryptopyr's Patch Hub

and a mesh fix:

  • []Fixed clipping on the chin and the forehead of the human female version of Bonemold helmet

There are two versions: full and Mesh Only. The Mesh Only version only contains the mesh fix, to use with Improved Closefaced Helmets (ICH) - SkyPatched. The full version contains everything.

Requirements

  • []Improved Closefaced Helmets

    [] (for the full version) Beard Mask Fix (The Vanilla Masks addon is not required. There's also a patch for v1. 5. 97 users)

Compatibility

The Mesh Only version is compatible with anything that doesn't change the same mesh.

For the full version:

  • []Any .esp patches for Improved Closefaced Helmets made without taking these fixes into account will revert the beard fix for the affected helmets (or if the patch edits a non-vanilla helmet to be consistent with ICH, this helmet won't have beard fixed). To fix this, you need to forward slot 44 on all Armor records in those patches.

    []The installer includes replacements for the existing patches for Reliquary of Myth (with Dragon Priest Masks Pack) and aMidianBorn Variants Lite. If you have the original patches installed (which is not required), make sure to overwrite them.

    []kryptopyr's Patch Hub has Beard Mask Fix versions of its ICH patches, which basically do the same thing and therefore work as patches for this mod. With its WACCF-RoM-ICH-BMF patch my RoM patch is not needed.

Btw i recommend you unpack Improved Closefaced Helmets.bsa, otherwise some meshes may be easily overwritten by other mods.
