📋 About This Mod
Edits the mesh of the Mage Apprentice hood to make it somewhat bigger.
It always bothered me that with all the gorgeous hair mods out there, our character still manages to confine all that hair mass inside a hood the shape of a pin.
Replaces the Mage Apprentice Hood meshes, compatible with vanilla based retextures and any body type I think.
Female only; the vanilla male variant is ok, imo.
Now with male variants ! Includes Orcs, Khajiits and Argonians models too !
Overwritte if asked.
A lightweight mesh edit for Skyrim's Mage Apprentice hood, making it somewhat bigger. With 428 endorsements and over 53,000 downloads, it's a popular cosmetic tweak for players who want a more dramatic hood silhouette. Last updated October 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 428 endorsements and 53k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Does exactly what it says: bigger hood, no bloat.
- Lightweight mesh edit that won't tax your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Mage Apprentice hood, so if you don't use that item, it's useless.
- Mesh edits can conflict with other mods that alter the same hood—check for compatibility patches.
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be actively maintained for future game updates.
For Skyrim players who use the Mage Apprentice hood and want a more imposing look. If you're into cosmetic tweaks that don't change gameplay, this is a quick win. Skip if you never wear that hood or want more substantial armor changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drop-in, but managing conflicts is easier.
- If you have other mods that edit the Mage Apprentice hood, put this one lower in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Check the in-game model after installing to see if the size suits your taste; you can always remove it if it's too big.
