📋 About This Mod

This Helm only has ears for Humans at the moment. My intentions were, if this Helm was recieved well by the community, to mod for the other races, starting with the various Elven Races. ----------------------------------------------------------- I invite other modders to use this mod as a base to create new Helms with ears for the game. ----------------------------------------------------------- To install: Simply drop the esp, meshes, and texture folders into your Oblivion\\Data folder. Then at the game start menu, activate this esp. This mod includes ten versions of this Helm. I did include the easy install txt with this file. ----------------------------------------------------------- For those who may not know... When your Character equips a Helm, it not only replaces the hair to avoid clipping, it also replaces the ears. In making a Helm, you cannot just add the ears back to it as a material, you have to actually add the ears to the helm, as one solid unit; The game won\'t run it otherwise. Then, since it is one unit, it relates to one texture file. If you don\'t want your ears to shine like a metal helmet, the texture file, whether it\'s high res or not, has to be manipulated to display the ears without shine. The steel,in front of the ears, had to be added,or from a straight on view, the simulated ears did not match up to the face. I used a Blades Helm for my base to create this mod. I left the back of the helm larger to simulate hiding our characters hair. ------------------------------------------------------------ I hope that you enjoy this mod! If you use it in your own mods, credit me. Thanks, David
