]Rounded eye openings that don't look like Minecraft.[]Redone to fit both male and female characters.
[]More natural looking antlers.
[]Inner padding to fix gaps and baldness issues the original has.
[]Compatible with anything that doesn't edit Skyrim's fur-headdress meshes.
[]People in comments keep telling me it makes fighting Forsworn harder, as now they can see out of their helmets... While through the power of placebo this may actually be true... I'm highly doubtful of these claims as it's just a mesh replacer... but you never know. :D
