Would be nice for a mod to hide my helm. As I play in third person mostly I see my character and I don't always want to have my helmet on show and don't want to lose the stats on it for not wearing it.
I had the same idea and just wanted to open a thread.
My idea was to mod the items to use empty meshes instead of the solutions in Dragon Age, where Helmets got moved to invisible slots. But I don't know how to extract the files, etc...
