Clipping issues
So just as I wanted to venture into the glowing sea and I put my hazmat suit on I noticed, that my hair is clipping through the helmet. I hate clipping, as it really breaks my immersion, especially with something like the hazmat suit. So I have no idea if this is a vanilla problem or caused by mods. My suspicion laid with the skintight hazmat mod, the unlock all hairstyles mod or the valkyr face mod. I have disabled all of them one after another, yet still my hair was clipping through the helmet. I have the "evening out"-hairstyle. I remember when putting on hats like the grey knit cap your hair would kinda change so it would kinda stick to your head or something or it would disappear or so, but I have equipped the grey knit cap and beneath it, the hair stays normal, there is even a little clipping at the edge of the cap. It appears, something has changed the way the game handles hats and hair.

If anyone could help me it would be great, because the only solution I know now is using showlooksmenu before equipping the hazmat and change to a short hairstyle and change back afterwards, which is rather annoying.

Here is my loadorder:

Plus some mods that don't show up under Plugins in the NMM: Honest Abe's Armor Series CBBE, Proto Vault Suit, True Eyes Fallout 4 Edition, Black and White Pipboy, CBBE Ida Body Texture (as linked on this page), Easy To See Glowing Stuff.

I'd really appreciate any help.

In my experience you're going to get clipping issues all over the game. Seems to be the nature of the engine.

The clipping for Hazmat is because of Armorsmith.

EDIT : As for the gray knit cap, it could be that you're using the "Gray knit cap /w hair" version from the Armorsmith or you're using some hair mod that did not make the meshes for HATS.

I read the description of this mod and it makes sense, since it indeed changes the way hair and hats interact, thx for the tip, I'm gonna address this on the mod page. I don't care for the gray knit cap it was just to demonstrate, that it isn't the hazmat suit alone.
Well ♥♥♥♥ I don't know if I can uninstall that mod because I think others rely on it, I tried and got an insta ctd, this is gonna be a snowball effect, guess I have to deal with showlooksmenu...

Well if clipping really bothers you that much, you can use a FO4Edit to give some other item rad resistance, if you're using Hazmat just for rad-heavy areas.

I edited the ESP myself and gave the Gas Mask and Hooded Cleanroom Suit 1000 RAD Resistance. They don't have clipping and takes like 2 seconds.

Atleast the Hooded Cleanroom Suit should by itself be a lot better than Hazmat since it is developed by the Institute... but logic, eh ? :D

How dare you serach for logic in a fallout game! xD

However thanks for the tip, I'll think about it, guess I'll have to learn how to use FO4Edit.
But the gasmask isn't immersive enough, because in a heavily radiated area like the glowing sea a gasmask wouldn't be of any help: "hey my whole body is getting soaked in deadly amounts of radiation, but at least the air I am breathing is clean" ;)

Yeah I know, but it looks cool with certain outfits :D

Hooded Cleanroom Suit on the other hand is a lot better alternative ^^
