📋 About This Mod

Like the mod? ❤️ Endorse it :3

And feel free to comment about any issues/questions.This mod was made with Hoods in mind.

But doesn't require this or any other specific cloaks/capes/hoods/masks mod, it should add toggle functionality literally to any such mod.

LATEST 4. 04 NEXT-GEN compatible only!

What it does?

It enables you to toggle your cape/cloak/hood/mask etc whenever you want by a press of a button (0 key by default, but could be changed to anything).

You can also hold left stick on the controller.

THIS MOD DOES NOT ADD ANY CLOAKS/CAPES/HOODS/MASKS TO THE GAME.You should install some other mod first, for example, - Hoods.

And then obtain desired vanity item, let's say - Killing Monsters Cloak.

With the hoods mod it will be in stock at Griffon Merchant (Bram at White Orchard).

Then you will be able to wear/unwear it anytime.

!!! But keep in mind, that for the first time you must wear desired cloak/cape from the inventory.

Persistent cloaks

Mod will remember what cloak/cape/hood/mask etc you was wearing, so even after game restart - you still be able to wear your last used cloak.

That means cloaks are persistent between game sessions and even between game saves.

No need to open inventory every time.

Working Dyes

What mod also does, is allows for Dyes to work.

For example, with the Hoods mod you can paint some cloaks/capes/hoods/masks in any color.

And between toggles (wear/unwear cloak states), applied dye will be preserved.

Afaik, no other mod does this.

Or at least I don't know of their existence.

Fist fight minigame

Mod will automatically unequip any cloak/cape/hood/mask when fist fight minigame begins.

But you can disable auto-unequip in mod menu, if you wish to fight in a cape like a super hero lmao xD

Again, afaik no other mod does this.

Barber visits

Mod will automatically unequip any cloak/cape/hood/mask when you visit barber.

Also it will auto-equip cloak after you leave the barber.

You can disable auto-unequip in mod menu.

Everytime witcher wear/unwear any vanity item, proper animation will be triggered.

There's two different animations for cloaks and for hoods.

But this is optional and can be turned on/off in mod menu.

Auto-equip during bad weather

What this mod also does, is allows for automatically equip cloaks/capes/scarfs etc during bad weather.

That includes Rain, Storm, Snow, and even
