Background
Features
- []If Serana has no head piece at all in her inventory ever, she won't wear anything on her head. To achieve this, you'll have to remove the SeranaHood using the console. This is unnecessary now though, and if you did you'd have to get it back by the using the console too. Instead, just achieve the behavior you really want from the other options now! []If Serana has only her Serana Hood in her inventory she will equip it and unequip it as necessary. It is now only equipped while not indoors and when the sun is out (between the hours of 7 AM and 7 PM roughly) []If Serana has any other head gear in her inventory she will equip that and wear it constantly. This isn't exactly desired because some 0-armor rating clothing would be nice to have her unequip when not needed but its the best I can do without a script extender at the moment. []If Serana has multiple head pieces in her inventory but you want her to wear just one particular one I can't guarantee anything. I recommend just leaving her solely with whatever head piece you want her to wear and assuming the behavior listed above

Installation
Serana Hood Fix is a small script edit that changes how Serana equips her default hood in Skyrim. It stops the vanilla behavior where she constantly re-equips her hood, allowing her to wear custom headgear instead. The mod offers three behaviors: no headgear, hood only during daylight, or constant custom headgear. It's a lightweight fix with 671 endorsements, last updated in 2016.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 671 endorsements and over 12k downloads, so it's a proven fix.
- Tiny script edit that won't hurt performance—no new packages or events, just tweaks to existing updates.
- Gives you real control over Serana's headgear, which is a lifesaver if you're trying to dress her in custom armor.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods that alter Serana's scripts.
- If you give Serana multiple head pieces, the mod can't guarantee which one she'll wear—you have to manage her inventory carefully.
- The 'constant wear' behavior for custom headgear means she'll keep it on even indoors, which might look odd for some outfits.
For Skyrim players who are tired of Serana stubbornly re-equipping her hood and want to dress her in custom armor or helmets. It's perfect for roleplayers and modders who want more control over follower appearance. Skip if you don't care about Serana's headgear or if you're on a heavily modded setup where script conflicts could be an issue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you want Serana to wear no hood, remove the SeranaHood item from her inventory via console (e.g., 'removeitem xx002B74' where xx is the mod's load order) to trigger the no-headgear behavior.
- To get the hood back, use the console to add it again—the mod's behavior is based on what's in her inventory.
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure this mod loads after any mods that change Serana's default outfit to avoid conflicts.
