Right now I get the "Morrowind.esm is required for this file to be loaded, and it has changed since this file was last saved. You might experience problems with the game." Which is a shame, because a lot of these items look gorgeous.
I'm having issues with them not appearing. I use Mackom's heads, but when I try to wear them they make my neck vanish. I tried a few of them and the only one that seemed to work was the "Crown Leather" circlet; everything else was a no go... any idea what could be causing it? I tried switching the items from right pauldron to something else, but that didn't work, either.
Are you using Better Bodies edited by MacKom? Unfortunately, they miss additional Neck sub-mesh, which is present in the original Better Bodies. As a result, any item assigned to the Neck slot will make the neck of a character disappear. My suggestion: either switch to the original Better Bodies meshes or ask MacKom to fix this issue. Though as far as I know he is preparing a compilation release of his heads mods with Robert's Bodies, so it's unlikely he'll have time to fix this Neck problem... A pity, since I personally prefer BB over Robert's.
I've been slowly learning my way through CS, so I might just fix it myself, rather than wait lol - at least you narrowed down the problem. And I agree, I'm not a big fan of Robert's, but to each their own.
If anyone is having issues looking for these circlets in Balmora, they can be found in the pawnbroker's house, Dralasa Nithryon. Unless ivolga has an update coming, the issue is simple: they won't appear in the buying/selling window because the circlet chest isn't attributed any ownership to Dralasa. This can be fixed in the CS by finding the chest, clicking extra data, and giving her ownership of the chest. The trader in Mournhold, however, seems to be working.
This is very neat. I've seen follower mods with circlets and tiaras -- some of which were wearable by the player, and some not -- but I've never seen anything of that like for the player before. Well done. ...What i'm having difficulty understanding though... is why you've set them to function as pauldrons and not helmets? :/
True, I usually play as a mage, so it doesn't really matter. XD ...But still? I would've figured the helmet slot makes more sense? And surely some mages like to wear armour beneath their robes? Surely it must get old running around with only one pauldron?
In Morrowind using helmet slot would mean making the character either bald or headless. I doubt anyone would want that. That's why pauldron and neck slots are the most popular choice for adding things like necklaces or capes or tiaras etc.
The circlets are added to leveled lists which are used for random generation of various loot. Eventually you'll find circlets in some containers (mostly in rich houses), in trader's inventory, but not too often, since they are supposed to be rare and expensive items.
Head meshes for MW are created by different authors, and even the same author doesn't make heads for all races and genders identical in size. Head meshes from Westly's Head pack and Better Heads are all made by many various modellers so some of them work fine with these circlets, some don't. Unfortunately, the only advice I can offer - is to learn a bit about NifScope and to adjust the circlet you want to the head you like (it's not hard, just right-click the mesh, select "Transform"->"Edit", move the mesh along Y axis and check the result in CS).
I wanted to convert Kafeid's circlets for a long time, but did it only now, after Mackom released his heads, because they are more or less the same in diameter and position. But even his head meshes for Imperial and Orc males are rather different in size from others.

So if you have trouble finding the circlet you want, check later for updates.
This looks like an excellent mod. Thank you for your time and responding to my post. Endorsed!
Update: I have to wait for the 15 min cooldown to end . . . so : Soon to be endorsed!
For the heads, I'm using Better Heads (with tribunal/bloodmoon addons), Mel Hair Conversion and the pluginless version of Westly's Master Head Pack X.
From your experience, I should expect serious clipping or not?
Anyway, nice mod.
