📋 About This Mod

This is vanilla only and an old Pre CreationKit mod. As such I will not update this mod and also can\'t guarantee it working correctly (but I\'m prettu sure it still does). Enabled the showing of the ears on Khajiit characters in open helmet. There is some clipping on some helmets but I\'d prefer ears to having none at all (true for real life and ingame). ^^ *As far as I know this mod works with helmet mesh replacers. V2. 0 Added mainly for showing of hair (check screenshot) and some extra helmets.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,333 endorsements and nearly 29k downloads.
  • Adds a nice touch of realism for Khajiit players.
  • Lightweight and doesn't overhaul anything else.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2012 — may not work with the latest Skyrim version or DLCs.
  • Only affects Khajiit ears and helmet hair; doesn't address other clipping issues.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who play as Khajiit and want their character's ears to poke through helmets for a more natural look. Also for those who dislike the bald look under helmets and want hair to show. Skip if you're not into cosmetic immersion tweaks or if you're on a newer Skyrim version.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod is from 2012, check if it's compatible with your Skyrim version (Oldrim vs Special Edition) before installing.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
  • Test with a Khajiit character and a helmet to see the effect; if it doesn't work, try placing it lower in your load order.
