📋 About This Mod

Port of the oldrim mod Dragon Priest Masks for Beast Races by Lightningo. It's just rotated poly's, so it should still be compatible with retextures. The Dragonborn masks still haven't been done, as far as I know. Enjoy!

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod ports the Oldrim Dragon Priest Masks for Beast Races to Skyrim Special Edition, allowing Khajiit and Argonian characters to wear the iconic masks. It's a simple mesh rotation, so it remains compatible with retextures. The Dragonborn masks are not included. With 186 endorsements and 6,380 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated fix for beast race players.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Fills a real gap for beast race players who want to wear Dragon Priest masks (186 endorsements).
  • Compatible with retextures, so you can keep your favorite visual overhauls.
  • Lightweight and straightforward—just a mesh fix, no bloat.

⚠️ Cons

  • Dragonborn masks are missing, so you'll need another mod for those.
  • Oldrim port might have minor clipping issues on some beast head shapes.
  • No updates since 2020, so it may not be tested with the latest game patches.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Khajiit and Argonian players who are tired of masks floating or clipping and want to rock the full Dragon Priest look. Also for modders who want a base to build on. Skip if you play human races or expect Dragonborn masks—this is purely a fix for the base game masks.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage this mod easily.
