Improved closefaced helmets
improvement to the closefaced helmets so that the eyes are visible from the outside.
Improved Closefaced Helmets
Legendary Edition
Mod Description
This mod makes modifications to skyrim’s closefaced helmets to have actual eye sockets and gaps so that you can see the characters’ eyes and some face features. The modification is done to the meshes only, which means that you can use any texture re-placer of your choice as long as it does not change anything in the meshes.
Each race has it’s own helmet model appropriate for their size and head shape (most notable on beast races).
Here is a list of the helmets that are included:
Steel plate helmet – Dwarven helmet – Ebony helmet – Daedric helmet – Guards/Stormcloak helmet – Imperial full faced helmet – Nightingale hoods – Dawnguard heavy helmet – Bonemold helmet – Chitin light helmet (+optional goggle version) – Chitin heavy helmet (+optional goggle version) – Vanilla Dragon priest masks (including Konahrik) – Dragonborn dlc dragon priest masks (including Mirrak)

NOTE: If you are updating from version 0.9 or earlier, you’ll need to remove the old mod (the *.esp files) and re-install the newest version.

The mod with priority will overwrite the other one’s changes. Therefore, if you see headless NPCs check for mod confilcts and adjust loading order.
