----------------- Mod Description -----------------
This mod makes modifications to skyrim's closefaced helmets to have actual eye sockets and gaps so that you can see the characters' eyes and some face features. The modification is done to the meshes only, which means that you can use any texture re-placer of your choice as long as it does not change anything in the meshes. Each race has it's own helmet model appropriate for their size and head shape (most notable on beast races). Here is a list of the helmets that are included:

** Weapon and armor Fixes (WAF) compatibility patch available here: Weapons and armor fixes Translations:
Use the mod manager or simply copy the .esp and the meshes folder to your skyrim data folder. and don't forget to select them in your load order. NOTE: If you are updating from version 0.9 or earlier, you'll need to remove the old mod (the *.esp files) and re-install the newest version.
----------------- Compatibility -----------------
NOT compatible with any mod that modifies the mesh files or the stats of the subjected helmets. The mod with priority will overwrite the other one's changes. Therefore, if you see headless NPCs check for mod confilcts and adjust loading order.
