Lazy Item Hider

Automatically or switchably hide helmets, gauntlets, shields and weapons for players and NPCs

Why

Because I'm tired of being frustrated with "the entire game took an hour to create a helmet that wears a helmet"

getting Started

Install mod

Wait until the SkyUI message pops up about the registering menu

If you don't want to use the auto-hide feature, make sure to bind the toggle key. NOTE - You can enable auto-hide and still switch manually

Helmets and gloves are automatically detected when the mod starts. If you are not wearing any gear at the moment, the gear will be detected whenever you wear it.

how does this work

Helmets and gauntlets are not equipped - the effects of armor class and enchantments will be removed

Weapons rescaled to 0 - will not be displayed but will still be present, so any customization they provide will still be active

WARNING - Activating NPC support increases the number of monitored targets and thus the number of running scripts stored in the game/save without the ability to bypass it. If you don't know what this means, don't use this option

notes

The purpose of the Lazy Item Hider is to manage bulky or hidden gear worn while adventuring. If you don't do this and need to wear said magic gloves to improve your alchemy skills at home or something similar, there is a toggle hotkey option available to quickly enable or disable the mod/hider.

Tested with vanilla and XPMSSE. If you are using a skeleton that places the weapons on different nodes or a mod that lacks them entirely will not work.

Scripts are conditionally triggered and should be very lightweight. There are no cape effects, loops or other scripts running in the background.

Node scaling only covers game sessions and is not permanent. However, where applicable, the mod will re-hide your device based on game load.

Assume the default scale of nodes is 1, so if you use another mod in the game to change their size, this will be overridden

Mod has been tested with vanilla headgear. If you are using the modified variant, you may need to change the "HeadSlot" to a different setting to detect them. If this fails, the HelmOverride option will register the next equipment item as a headgear.

Please note that this mod and requirements are in alpha/beta/testing/whatever status. While it worked for me, I highly recommend testing the functionality thoroughly immediately after installation to make sure it works for you as well and retains backups naturally.

Why

Because I got tired of falling for the "Spend an hour creating a face - wear helmet the whole game" meme

Getting started

Install mod

Wait until SkyUI message pops up about menu being registered

If you don't want to use the auto hide function make sure to bind the toggle key. Note - you can have auto hide enabled and still toggle manually

Helm and gauntlets are automatically detected when mod starts up. If you weren't wearing any at this time they'll be detected whenever any are equipped instead.

How it works

Helm and gauntlets are unequipped - Armor rating and effects of attached enchantments will be removed

Weapons are rescaled to 0 - Won't show but still there so any custom stuff they offer will still be active

WARNING - Activating NPC support increases number of targets monitored and in turn the number of running scripts stored in your game/save, no way around it. If you don't know what this mean do not use this option
