[Request/Idea] Dragon priest masks as pauldrons

[RebelInfernal]

This is a somewhat similar idea to the mod that makes dragon priest masks into circlets, except I imagine it would be more trophy-like or even actual armour. With a slightly smaller version of the masks available to wear on the shoulder as a pauldron or perhaps lower on the upper arm as an armband of sorts with the mask attached, preferably close to the skin for a lightly armoured character.

 

Would this be something someone would be willing to make? I'd love to see it but I sadly I don't have the knowledge to make it.

Nothing sad about it.  Start learning.

 

Tools you will need (all are free and most have many, many video and written tutorials):

- Outfit Studio (make a copy of the Dragon mask, load reference, position as desired, weight as pauldron - probably want to use something like Orcish Armor or Scaled Horn Armor as a reference since they have significant pauldron weights)

- Nifskope (convert to NiSkinInstance to avoid any slot masking issues)

- TES5Edit or Creation Kit (create the Armor/ARMO and Armor Addon/ARMA records for it; assign to body slot 58 or 59 for general compatibility with slot standards

 

If anything I said is confusing, google it.

To be honest, I have tried to make it myself. I've made several attempts throughout the last year or so but quite frankly I don't know what I'm doing and following the tutorials that are out there just isn't enough to learn how to get it done.

 

What I'm imagining is a set of separate masks that can be crafted as armbands or pauldrons once the player has the original in their inventory. Making the initial change alone to create the alternate versions has proven to be beyond me, I just can't get it done and I haven't even reached the point I would create new in game items and crafting recipes and put it all into an esp.

 

I don't really like asking someone else if they'd be willing to put their time into it for me but honestly it would take so long for me to slowly figure it out alone and due to personal circumstances I just don't have that sort of time to dedicate to getting stuck into it, so asking here is the only way this might happen.
