Original LE: Masque of Clavicus Vile for Argonian and Khajiit from Johnwhite92
As you know, one of the rewards from the quest of A Daedra's Best Friend is Masque of Clavicus Vile
in game when you wear this helmet as argonian or khajiit, the helmet looks like the one when you wear it as any human races and it's look like their skull is being crushed under the helmet :)
with this mod the helmet now have appropriate look for argonian and khajiit and fits their head
I also fixed some issue with the helmet like not counting as daedric artifact :| , fixed the material so game recognize it as daedric helmet not ebony and also raised the value of the helmet
This mod is actually combines the feature of these two mods (Masque of Khajiit & Masque of Argonian Vile)
These two mods aren't compatible with each other and can't be used together, so I made them compatible with each other and now we can benefit from the both these mods
I did this for my game then i thought to share it, hope you guys like it :)
Installation: install it like any other mod

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap for beast race players who hate the vanilla clipping.
- Simple install—just drop the files in your Data folder.
- Recently updated (March 2025), so it's likely compatible with current SE builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny mod with only 5 endorsements—not a lot of community testing.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description.
- Only affects the Masque—if you want more beast race armor fixes, this won't cover them.
For Argonian and Khajiit players who are tired of the Masque floating or clipping on their snouts. If you're a beast race completionist who wants every daedric artifact to look right, this is a quick fix. Skip if you play human or elf races—this mod does nothing for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the .esp and meshes in your Skyrim Special Edition Data folder, or use a mod manager like Vortex for easier uninstall.
- Load order doesn't matter much for a standalone mesh replacer, but put it after any mods that alter the Masque's model.
- If you see clipping, make sure you're using the latest version of the mod and that no other mod overwrites the same files.
