DESCRIPTION

Tired of not seeing your character's face and stylish hairstyle while playing because of that chunk of metal you're wearing on your head? Navida1's Improved Closefaced Helmets aren't open enough for you? Then try this mod out!

It adds new items to the game: crown-like helmets. You can craft them at a forge, in the corresponding section, with the corresponding perk, and you have a slight chance to find them on NPCs/merchants/loot instead of a regular helmet.

• For each of these vanilla materials: iron, steel, orcish, elven, dwemer, glass, dragonscale, dragonbone, daedric.
• Slightly inferior armour rating compared to helmets, but they're also lighter and require less materials to be forged.
• Male and female version, compatible with Khajiits and Argonians.
• Craftable and temperable.
• Proper world models.
• Uses vanilla textures and will benefit from any retexture mod you may have installed.
• Optional plugin to replace vanilla helmets.

To achieve the same visual result as me, I highly recommend that you use aMidianBorn Book of Silence - Armours.

TO DO

• More crowns: leather, plates, DLC, factions
• Adjusting the models for Orcs (some are clipping with their chin)
• A replacer plugin to replace vanilla helmets (Done in 1.1)

INSTALLATION

Use your favorite mod manager.

Manual installation
• Copy the content of the 00 folder in your Skyrim Special Edition\Data folder.
• Do the same with the plugin of your choice, or both.
• Check CrownHelmetsRedux.esp and/or CrownHelmetsRedux_Replacer.esp in your mod manager.

As the first plugin modifies two leveled lists, you may want to make a bashed/smashed patch.


BUGS KNOWN

• Some crowns are clipping with Orcs' chins (will be fixed in the next version).
• The orcish crown is meh. I may try something else.
• There WILL be clipping with hair, much more with custom hair. That's just it.

Please report any trouble you may have.
