📋 About This Mod
SSE version released!
Dragonborn Helmets have been added!
When Navida1 releases the dragonpriest masks, they'll also be merged and then this will likely be considered final and unlikely to get any more updates after that.
Falskaar patch added. Immersive Armors patch being worked on. Added an optional version with Heavy imperial helmet meshes for khajiits by Izea
I always liked the added detail of a circlet under your bigger headgear. Adds some more character customization with vanilla items. Actually, with almost any circlet-flagged item and vanilla helmets. That's what Circlets with helms legendary edition does.
Still there was a problem. Specifically, for the beast races. I found it horrible how the closed helmets didn't fit on them at all, there was no specific model for them.
Thankfully, Improved closefaced helmets fixes that, and adds much more, opening most closed helmets for the humans and elves too.
As this is only a merging of all the files, you'll still need likely both mods for this esp to work - but you only need to turn on this one!

Some people just won't use mod managers
1: Remove any in-game headgear that you are wearing on the save you want to remove this mod.
2a: If you use Vortex, NMM, Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer 2, use their respective functions to UNINSTALL THE MOD, as the esp alters data, but there are replacer models too. These need to go.
2b: In the rare case you do not use any sort of mod manager, you need to find -each file- added by this mod and remove them manually. They are probably all in the meshes folder using the vanilla
