About
I got bored looking at the same low quality circlets that exist in Skyrim, so I decided to create a brand new set, one that lets me keep my armor perks, whilst still being able to see my characters face.
Both model and textures were created by me using 3ds Max 2011/2014 and Photoshop CS6.
What this mod includes: Armored & Mage Circlets for the Vanilla Armor Types. An NPC vendor is also available in Whiterun's Warmaidens.
Obtaining:
They are smithed, each under their respective materials. For example, a Daedric Circlet will be classed as Heavy Armor and have exactly the same stats as a Daedric Helmet. Also can be purchased from "Erdna Nidnarb" in Whiteruns Warmaiden's store.
Installation:
Use Nexus Mod Manager
Extract the files of the archive to your Skyrim Data Folder
JS Armored Circlets SE.esp
JS Armored Circlets SE.bsa
textures\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\JS Armored Circlets SE.esp
Please remember to enable the .esp after you have installed the files :)
Uninstall Instructions:
Remove using Nexus Mod Manager

Questions:
Q. Are you going to make other circlets in the future?
A. This version is final.
Known Issues:
1. Some clipping with male orcs. Every other race should be fine.
If for some reason the files do not work, cause crashes
or any other problems, please do not hesitate to contact me.
All screenshots are taken directly from the game and resized down from 1920x1080 to 1280x720. No other editing has been done.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy this Skyrim Mod!
