anamorphic: The
Customize Character Override Hak might do the trick. I used it in my play through to change the color of my cloaks, but it looks to have options for everything.
It says "Works in multiplayer if installed on the server". (I know nothing about that)
That's a great override, but it doesn't let you hide helmets. Just change their appearance. (as explained above, there's no real way to hide helmets in this game.) It does let you hide cloaks, if you hate those.
The override also won't work in multiplayer unless you're the guy hosting the game. Which you probably aren't.
Honestly, for sorcerers and wizards I just swallow the lack of the helmet slot and go bare-headed. Looking like a proper wizard is more important than getting that last +2 CHA or something.
(and in single player I might 'cheat' by using the toolset to add the helmet properties to some other item if I really need them. But that won't work in multiplayer, unless you have a DM who's feeling nice. Or unless you're hosting the game. Then you can just go in the toolset and change the helmets into some other kind of item.)
