✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with nearly 5,000 endorsements.
- Over 128,000 downloads — clearly a go-to for CBBE users.
- Tiny mod that solves a specific visual glitch without extra bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or CBBE updates.
- No detailed installation instructions provided by the author.
- Only addresses the head-rear issue; doesn't fix other potential CBBE mesh problems.
For Skyrim players who use CBBE and notice a weird head-rear seam or clipping on NPCs. If you're a CBBE user and that bug bugs you, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use CBBE or don't care about that specific visual glitch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CBBE installed first, then just drop the file into your Data folder.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you can install it as a mod and enable it after CBBE.
- Check your load order — this mod should load after CBBE to ensure the fix applies.
