Creation kit/Armor question

[casma164]

I modified an existing set of horns for my character. 

I then changed the horns to have no armor rating, weight, anything, they're just decoration.

They use the circlet slot.

However, when they're worn with armor, the armor rating drops when the horns are equipped. 

 

My guess is because of the armor perks well fitted(25% bonus when wearing all heavy armor) and Matching Set(25% bonus when wearing matched set of armor).

 

I use a no helmet mod.

Now, I've fiddled around with the horns in the creation kit and designated it heavy armor.

After doing this, the armor rating doesn't go down as much.

I also tried duplicating the daedric helmet keywords, primarily ArmorMaterialDaedric, ArmorHeavy and ArmorHelmet.

This didn't do anything.

 

I am at a loss as to what to do.

armor material. thats how matching sets are defined. it ensures that the steel bonus works with all steel armors (the one with and without pauldrons for example).

 

your method was okay, but the no helmet mods fucks stuff up. since i got no clue which mod you exactly use i cant check it up, but if you mix mods and then start changing stuff that can become pretty tricky.

 

my advice would be to either uninstall the no helmet mod, or make them no-armor-items again.
