PURPOSE

This patch addresses a conflict with Face Masks of Skyrim and Improved Camera's first person view where the mask is pasted over the camera. Both great mods, but don't play nice with one another. See Screenshots for details.

I'm unsure how Improved Camera attaches the camera to body, but for some reason, slot 44 items are attached to the camera itself and no amount of Improved Camera .INI adjustments will move the camera without moving the mask.

This patch converts all of the facemasks to slot 55, which isn't rendered by the camera. This has fixed the issue for me, hopefully it will for you.

REQUIREMENTS

1) Improved Camera 1.0 (beta 4)
2) Face Masks of Skyrim SE

(You can use this without Improved Camera, but it won't really do anything useful)

INSTALLATION

1) Install the 2 required mods.
2) Install this patch BELOW Face Masks of Skyrim so it's overwriting the meshes and esp.
3) Run game and see if it works for you.

CONFLICTS

Since the new items use slot 55, any other mods you have that use slot 55 will have a conflict. You can manually patch the mod yourself with the below instructions.

NPCs that are decapitated will have their face mask still on their neck. I'm not sure if this is from my mod or something inherent to Face Masks of Skyrim by default.

MANUAL PATCHING

If for some reason your mod load has another item that uses slot 55, and you would like to use it alongside the face masks while using Improved camera, you can patch it yourself by doing the following.

1) Get Nifskope and SSEdit.

NIFSKOPE STEPS:

2) Using Nifskope, open each of the .Nif (mesh) files in the patch "Mesh" folder (Ignore "facemask_noscarf_world.nif" and "facemask_world.nif". Those are the item spawn models) and do the steps below.

3) Navigate to "BSDismembermentSkinInstance". You may want to change the Blocklist view to lists by going to View>BlockLists>Show Blocks In Lists, for easier navigation.

4) on the lower panel, go to Partitions>Partitions>Body part.

5) Change the Body Part slot number from SBP_55 to your slot number (it's 55 for my mod). Save your NIF. 

SSEDIT STEPS:

6) Using SSEDIT, open the FaceMasksOfSkyrim.esp (data) from this mod.

7) Within the .esp file, go to the ARMOR ADDON reference group. Open each of the entries and change the BOD2 - Biped Body Template slots from 55 to your chosen slot number. 

8) Now goto ARMOR reference group, and chance each of the BOD2 - Biped Body Template slots from 55 to your chosen slot number. 

NOTES:

Failure to change any one of these to the match slot number will cause the item to be invisible.

Hope this helps.
