This is a very simple mod of the Nightingale Helmet which rips out just the face-covering part and makes it wearable with other hoods (like the ones from Immersive Armors, as shown in some of the pics), as well as regular helmets.

Currently the mask is only obtainable through console commands. You'll need to use the help command (Example: help "Nightingale Mask"), and then the player.additem command with the number that was returned from the help command (example: player.additem 31000D62 1).

The number will be different depending on how many mods you have installed and where this particular mod is in that list.

The mask uses the standard texture that the regular nightingale hood uses, so it should be very easy to re-texture it. If you do a re-texture and want to share let me know and I will consider adding a few re-textures to the mod with different names so people can use them.

I'm pretty sure the mask will work for both male and female characters, but I've only tested it on males so far.

Special thanks to Hanaisse from TESAlliance for her excellent tutorial here, and for her help in debugging the mod and with blender/nifskope information in general. I knew nothing of modding when I started and wouldn't have been able to do even a simple mod like this without her help.
