✅ Pros
- Huge community favorite (33k endorsements, 1.5M downloads) — this is a must-have for many players
- Adds a subtle but impactful immersion boost — seeing your character's eyes in helmets changes the feel
- Lightweight and focused — does one thing and does it well
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods
- Only affects closefaced helmets — if you rarely use them, you won't notice much
