📋 About This Mod

NEW in v2. 0

  • []Applies the effect to the player as well as companions wearing Starborn armor.[/]

    []The effect can be turned ON/OFF for the Player and/or Companions under Gameplay Options.[/]

This mod tracks all scenarios where the transparency effect can be reset and reapplies it to ensure that it is always transparent. This includes when a Starborn suit is equipped, when the player changes cells and when the player enters and leaves a sealed environment. This means the visor is always transparent without ever having to think about it.

NOTE: There is one scenario where you might need to think about it. If you change the auto hide settings for your spacesuit while wearing the spacesuit, the helmet will not be transparent. Removing and reequipping the suit will make it transparent.

But there's already mods that do this?

I am aware and there is nothing wrong with them, but some remove the transparency only in combat (I didn't want this), sometimes the effect wouldn't persist between cell changes (I fixed this by tracking when the player changes cells) and sometimes the effect had to be manually applied using an aid item or hotkey of some sort. I didn't want to think about it. I just wanted it to always be transparent.

Compatible with Starborn not Toddborn.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on PC, use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 for easy installation and uninstallation.
  • Check the mod's options in-game or via the config file to set whether you want the visor transparent for yourself, companions, or both.
  • Since it's a cosmetic mod, it won't affect achievements or gameplay, but always keep a backup of your save if you're experimenting with mods.
