🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using the original Skyrim (Legendary Edition), just drop the files into your Data folder and activate the plugin in your mod manager.
For Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use the mod manager's 'port' feature—many old mods work with a simple re-save in the Creation Kit.
Test the fix by switching to third person and looking at your character's beard from different angles to ensure the transparency is gone.
