Helmet Overlays - Improved 1st person Experience
This mod adds overlay textures for Helmet overlays mod made by scrivener07.
Textures are part manipulated photo textures, part hand painted.
All vanilla and DLC helmets are covered.
Why? Because it makes things interesting. When playing try not to take on more than 4 enemies, because it will get harder than in vanilla. MUCH harder. I suggest using combat mods like Duel and something like Weapons and Armors Attributes just to make you choose armour type on more than just armour rating. And remember, just because you are armoured up, it doesn't mean that will make things easier.
