If you have troubles installing/understanding this mod, try using:

PRE-MADE PRESETS FOR CMA

Instead of this one.






If you want to have complete freedom in combining different accessories (vanilla or modded):



Works for male and female V.

Should work with almost all the mods on nexus. Some mods, especially the collections, might need a patch.

It swapps the appearance of the Raffen Shiv Mask to two face slot items (any), while keeping the modded models and textures intact. You can use it to wear vanilla masks and glasses, or to combine mods.


FOR USERS:

READ THIS TWICE:

You have to install the mod manually. The detailed instructions and helpful resources are inside the .7z archive. <-(read them also; also twice)


1. You have to find two mods you want to combine, install them normally, and keep in mind their IDs.

2. Choose the right .archive files from the .7z (If you're not sure, compare the IDs with the list inside "IDs mod compatibility.txt"), and install them.

You should now have four '.archive' files added to the game - 'Mod 1', 'Mod 2', '1_CMA_Mask', '2_CMA_Specs'.

3. Use console to spawn this item:

Raffen Shiv Mask:
Game.AddToInventory("Items.SQ004_RaffenShiv_Mask",1)

4. Equip it on the face slot.

Enjoy! 


MAKE NOTE THAT SOME MODS MIGHT NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH EACHOTHER, MIGHT LOOK BAD TOGETHER OR REPLACE THE SAME MODEL AND APPEAR BROKEN INGAME - THAT'S UP TO THE USER TO FIND A COMBINATION THAT LOOKS GOOD


FOR MODDERS:

If you're doing retextures or mesh swaps, you don't have to worry about anything.


The only mods that need a compatibility patch are those dealing with .ent files. If you want your mod to be compatible, just make sure you're swapping these:

1_CMA_Mask
base\characters\garment\player_equipment\head\h1_058_pwa_mask__skull.ent
base\characters\garment\player_equipment\head\h1_058_pma_mask__skull.ent

2_CMA_Specs
base\characters\garment\player_equipment\head\h1_055_pwa_specs__googles.ent
base\characters\garment\player_equipment\head\h1_055_pma_specs__googles.ent


It would be nice to make 2 versions, for 2 slots, to give people choice.
