Hide Helmet

I can't hide my helmet anymore. Some helmets are ugly I don't want them on my face. Stormfist is fine because it looks like a baby hung from an umbilical cord. Skoria is ugly. I don't want to run around with a fire face. What is this hide polymprph helmet? Do I have to polymorph every single helmet I own into itself in order to hide it? I want to see my characters head I created at character creation not fire face ugly.

Is my best option right now to simply not wear a helmet? And what is the rationale behind removing hide helmet? It's been there forever.

Or do I have to create a one slot costume with a helmet and wear it in order to hide a helmet because!? What the difference between hiding any helmet and a polymorphed helmet? I'm completely lost.

If it's something as simple as creating a fake hat somewhere and costuming it for the sake of hiding it then can someone providing directions?

    In addition to this, there is an option in Settings > Gameplay to hide the helmet on a polymorph.

    Ok... I used to have an addon that let me bind my 0 key to hide helmet. Using that, my helmet would be hidden whether it was from a disguise (the type you equip for some missions), a costume (such as the Scarlet Judge Regalia) or actual equipment.

    I gather they've added a function in the collections that lets you hide your helmet. After testing it, it will hide the helmet if it's actually equipment, an outfit (the new type we assemble ourselves) or if it's a costume, but NOT for a disguise (I'll also point out wearing a disguise also removes any facial hair).

    The other issue is that I can't bind a key to let me do it quickly. It's very inconvenient to navigate to my collections panel, wait for it to load, change tabs, wait for it to load, select hide helmet and close the menu. Is there a way to bind this function to a key?

    1) There is no way to hide helmets on polymorphs or disguises, and there has been no indication that this feature will ever return

    2) Because the current Hide Helm system (the collectable) is not usable outside quickslots or the Collectables tab, we will likely not have any way to keybind the feature in the future

    ZOS broke something that didn't need fixing, and it doesn't even serve a purpose in the outfitting system in the first place

    Try Settings -Gameplay-Hide Polymorph Helm- On/Off

    There's no way to hide helm on disguises, but that sort of makes sense. I always wondered a bit why redguard pirates or imperial legionnaires or Nord bandits were so accepting of my Dunmer vestige.

    Ya, I was just going to report that you CAN put it in a quickslot, like any collectible.

    Awkward, again... because now I have to change slots before I can use it (and it's now taking up a slot that USED to have something else in it), but it's better than nothing. Still, ideally I'd be able to put it on a different key, as I had done before.

    We USED to be able to hide helmets on disguises. It made them very useful to me (especially because they remove your facial hair), even beyond the missions they're used in.

    Again, I hope they fix this.

    I'm aware we used to be able to hide helm on disguises. I'm just of the opinion that the fact of it being a disguise means it makes sense that we can't hide helms on disguises any longer.

    No one's saying it's a tragedy, just a nuisance, considering there was really no need to change anything.
