SKSE plugin that visually toggles helmets and other armor/weapons, without unequipping them.
Equipment can be toggled automatically, conditionally (on weapon draw, combat, dialogue, at home) or manually using hotkeys.
Works on player, followers, and all NPCs.
Toggle states are serialized across saves and game sessions
Default config hides helmets/bows/quivers on equip, and unhides them on weapon draw.
Toggle manually using Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys
Configuration
Config uses JSON format to store slot sets, and their conditions. Located in Data/EquipmentToggle/Config.json.
Use a formatter like JSONLint to validate changes.
Toggle type
- -1 : disabled
- 0 : player only
- 1 : followers (and commanded NPCs, like thralls) only
- 2 : player and followers
