Vampires in Hoods

This mod makes all vanilla hoods, and some helmets, protect vampires from negative sunlight effects.

Dragonborn, Dawnguard, and Immersive Armors patches can be downloaded from the Nexus here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56688/?

Vampires have long been afraid of the sunlight, and rightfully so, as its pure rays have rather negative effects on their bodies. Still, one would think that a vampire hiding under a hood would not need to fear the sun as much as his un-hooded comrades.

Changes:
Adds a keyword to all hoods (let me know if I missed any) and a select few helmets, and then uses that keyword in a function condition for the vampiric sunlight effect to negate the effects while wearing the hood/helmet.

For all of you Creation Kit people, "WornHasKeyword 'ClothingHood' == 0"


Future Plans:
-A script to auto-detect all helmets, and a checkbox MCM menu for user-customization (this eliminates the need for any patches)


Known Issues:
Ordinarily, when entering sunlight as a vampire, an obnoxious sound/visual effect play to let you know that ya dun goofed. However, the effect does not play when the player removes their hood/helmet in sunlight, although the health, stamina, and magicka reductions do initiate.

Permissions:
If you intend to post this on another site, I'd ask that you request permission from me first, and also remind you to give full credit.


If you have noticed any bugs, or have a dispute about which helmets I chose for the effect, let me know and I will look into them.
