📋 About This Mod
I recommend using Mugentsuki's Apophysis Open Dragon Priest Masks mod since it has better textures, slot 44 support, and more active support.
This is Calyps' original work from the LE version ported. There is another, similar port by Mugentsuki over here. The difference between this one and that one is that this one has its body slot changed to 44 for compatibility with bandoliers. You may have every bandolier equipped with this version installed. Also, there is only one variant available. See the image.
Open Dragon Priest Masks by Calyps adds a variant of the Dragon Priest Helms that leaves the face uncovered, letting you wear these iconic masks without hiding your character's appearance. A simple cosmetic tweak for Skyrim players who want the mask's benefits but prefer to see their face. With 185 endorsements and 5,483 downloads, it's a modestly popular choice.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 185 endorsements and over 5,400 downloads, so it's got a solid user base.
- Solves a real annoyance for roleplayers who hate hiding their character's face behind those bulky masks.
- Simple cosmetic tweak—no gameplay overhaul, just a visual option for a popular armor set.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods without patches.
- Only affects Dragon Priest masks—if you wanted more open-face armor options, this won't cover other helms.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Dragon Priest masks or their meshes, so check your load order.
For Skyrim players who love the Dragon Priest mask bonuses but hate covering their character's face. Also great for roleplayers who want to show off their character's appearance during combat. Skip if you're fine with the original masks or want more extensive armor changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no extra steps needed.
- Make sure to place this mod after any other mods that alter Dragon Priest masks in your load order to avoid conflicts.
- Check the in-game inventory for the new variant—it might be listed separately from the original masks.
