[Question] Purposefully make hair clip through a helmet.

[Hunter136]

Mostly for experimental reasons, but how do I make hair clip through a helmet?

 

What tools will I need to do so?

Hairs are made to work with helmets either by making enough space between the hair and the helmet by removing parts of the hair or by removing the hair when the helmet is worn. Some helmets are made with the hair already in them. One way that they prevent clipping is by setting the dismemberment partition slot to SBP_31_HAIR in the nif and in the .esp so that when the helmet is worn the players hair disappears. If you changed the SBP_31_HAIR to something like the amulet or tail slot when you wear the helmet the hair will not disappear and will probably clip.

 Change slot Helmet to Circlet.

You can change slot of the Helmet from head to other slot, such as circlet. First, change the slot (partition) in Nifskope, and then open the esp file in CK and change the slot in both armor and armor addon. 

The problem is, same as #2 said, it may look weird because the hair clip through helmet too much.

I figure it would look weird, My main goal is to just experiment.

 

Creation Club hasn't been working for me sadly, so I think I'm stuck.

I'm willing to give this a try again, but I'd need a bit more help.

 

I think I can get it to work, but I need confirmation here and there.
