About this mod

A Recolorable Chrome Mask that pairs well with a Chrome Bodysuit.

This is the Chrome Mask that can be worn with almost any outfit, but was intended to go along with either Chrome Bodysuit, or Nude Chrome Bodysuits.
This mod is not being included with those mods, as adding them into those three mods (nude chrome has 2 by itself), as that would mean having 3 identical Chrome Masks to build and would have cluttered it up.

Update 3.0:
After a few hours of copying and pasting vertex information from the original meshes that this mod is derived from, I have completely removed all clipping (or gaps)  on the Male and Female version of these masks, this means that when wearing the chrome bodysuit, or underwear item this mesh will not have any gaps.  For some reason there is a very thin line gap when wearing the Harness item, but default underwear does not have this at all.  Gaps still do exist between this mod, and EVB male meshes (original and Nude Chrome Bodysuits), these are caused by the EVB meshes themselves, not this mod.

Update 2.0:
This update corrects most of the clipping issues that are found on the connection between the Chrome Mask and the Body, There is still a little clipping, but it is now a lot harder to notice it.


Slots used:

Headpiece - Slot 32
Neckpiece - Slot 50
The Chrome mask sadly has to be built in two pieces, the main head piece, and a lower or neck piece.  I do not know why this is, and have spent several hours trying to work around this issue, but have not found a way, perhaps with the creation kit...
These are the only two slots used, so this item can be worn with ALL Vanilla hats and glasses, sadly bandanas use slot 50 so cannot be equipped with this item, also the Sac-Hood items (with or without hoses) will equip, and you will get the benefit of having them equipped, but they will appear invisible.  All helmets from the Automatron DLC will work as well, with the exception of the Sentrybot one.

Install:
Simply unpack the downloaded archive into your Fallout 4 install directory, if you have either of my Chrome Bodysuit mods installed, it will ask to overwrite files, allow the overwrite as these files are shared files between the two mods (do not skip these files as there is an updated .nif for the headpiece in this one)

Enable ChromeMask.esp in your plugins.txt file

Or use a mod manager, make sure to overwrite files if it asks.

In game:
This item can be crafted at the Chemistry Workbench under the Utility section
Or you can add it with console commands, to find it type:
Help Mask 4
The base item will be xx000801, where xx is your specific load order.
To add the item into you inventory type:
Player.AddItem xx000801 1
if you want to equip the item right away you can ignore the command above and type:
Player.equipitem xx000801
This will add the item if you do not have it already, and then equip it.

Known Issues:
Your face will NOT animate while wearing this item, I am still looking into this issue, and may have a future update that fixes this.

There are no eyes with this item, due to the way chrome work on the void eye-sockets, this is extremely hard to notice, if it bothers you you can equip any vanilla game glasses or sunglasses.

There is clipping on the neck seam for both males and females, there are screenshots in the images section that show these, they are barely noticeable in game, and are way better than having a section of non-chrome between your chest and neck (when wearing a Chrome Bodysuit).  If enough people ask fo it, I will include an update that does not have the neckpiece, however, to keep the skin below the neck, slot 32 and 50, or another slot, will still have to be used for some reason.
Version 2.0 fixed a majority of these clipping issues, some still exist, but is far less noticeable.
Version 3.0 Removes this clipping or gapping completely for the mask when wearing a Chrome Bodysuit, or default underwear.  Gapping still exists in the Harness item for some reason.
