📋 About This Mod
This mod allows you to wear Circlets with unarmored Mage hoods and hooded robes, but not with helmets or armored hoods (e.g. Thieves Guild Hood, Shrouded Cowl).
This includes the Archmage Robes as well as the other hoods that can be found in the game.
The vanilla Dragon Priest masks are marked as only circlets, so you should be able to wear them with hoods as well.
A USSEP-compatible version and a non-USSEP version are both available.
Guaranteed to work only with vanilla, Dawnguard, and Dragonborn hoods and circlets - I cannot edit records that are added to the game by other mods and Creation Club content (I do not own the CC content).
This file is provided as-is. I will not support it in the future.
Circlets with Mage Hoods is a Skyrim mod that lets you wear circlets alongside unarmored mage hoods and hooded robes, including Archmage Robes and Dragon Priest masks. It offers USSEP and non-USSEP versions, but only works with vanilla, Dawnguard, and Dragonborn content. The mod is provided as-is with no future support.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 638 endorsements and over 12k downloads
- Simple quality-of-life fix for mage characters who want both stats and style
- Includes support for Dragon Priest masks, which is a nice bonus
⚠️ Cons
- No support for mod-added or Creation Club hoods and circlets, so it won't work with your favorite armor mods
- Author explicitly states no future support, so don't expect updates or fixes
- Potential conflicts with other mods that edit the same hood or circlet records
For Skyrim players who love playing mages and hate having to choose between a circlet's enchantment and a hood's look. If you use modded hoods or circlets, this won't cover them, so skip if you rely on armor mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the USSEP version if you have the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch installed, otherwise use the non-USSEP one.
- Load this mod after any mods that change hood or circlet records to ensure it takes effect.
- Test with a vanilla hood and circlet first to confirm it works before adding other mods.
