📋 About This Mod
Includes all the hoods/helmets that I could make look decent with ears. Only meshes: just unzip, drag & drop into data or install with mod manager. Some will apply to other races as well due to them sharing the mesh, to avoid this either use the no ears for non kitty file for vanilla, and for IA, CC, and ACE simply delete the corresponding mesh and be free. (or let the others be blessed with the meow meow) Some will likely have clipping as the ones with different weights are the same mesh due to my skill level.
Thanks to allonsywisegirl for all her help testing + making the plugin version! (note: the novice mage hood seems to be having issues like being invisible or not having ears with this file. I'm aware, but unable to fix this myself. apologies///)
These were made be me with my own game in mind, so it's unlikely that I'll add or edit more, but I hope you enjoy what I have done! (Now with Immersive Armors!) (Now with creation club!!) (Now with Armor and Clothing Extention!)
(and once I'm sure everything is working, it'll be as-is. my skill + stress tolerance probably aren't gonna let me come back to this anytime soon ////// )

📊 Pros & Cons

- Simple mesh edits that don't overhaul the game
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects hoods, not other headgear
- May conflict with other mods that alter the same hood meshes
- No updates since April 2023, so might not support newer Skyrim versions
For Khajiit players who are tired of their ears clipping through hoods. If you're a purist who wants lore-friendly headgear, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't play Khajiit or want more drastic armor changes.
