📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces the default hirelings with different characters from the story.
It was inspired by the work from Khione95 with his Hirelings Unleashed mod, but I wanted to use different characters and have different options so I decided to build a mod myself.
SPOILER WARNING: there might be details you haven't encountered yet if you haven't finished the game. read further at your own risk.
It adds the ability to choose among 24 female characters (probably more in the future).
The original version included the following characters:
-
[]Araj Oblodra (blood alchemist)
[
]Mizora[]Rohl (dancer for Sharess'Caress)
[]Mystra (Gale's girlfriend)
[]Alfira
[]Hope (from the House of Hope)
[]Consellour Florrick (Duke Uldergard's aid)
[]Zethino (dryad from the circus)
[]Kagha
[]Dame Aylin
[]Isobel
[]Orin
New in the modular version:
-
[]Allandra (Wavemistress ofUmberlee)
[
]Astele Keene (a.k.a. Ninefingers)[]Exxvikyap (dragonborn vendor)
[]Haarlep (incubus (or succubus?)
[]Lakrissa (tiefling bartender)
[]Nocturne (Shadowheart’s childhood friend)
[]Quil (substitute campsite sacrificefor Dark Urge)

[]Stornugoss (githyanki doctor)
[]Thulla (deepgnome protected by the myconids)
[]Zenovia (guild thug in Rivington)

Default hirelings won't be available anymore, and you might experience glitches if you install the mod after recruiting one.
This mods influences VISUALS ONLY, meaning that characters won't have any racial/class/other special ability they might get in the story.
I changed the default equipment for all of them so that they now have an armor and camp clothes looking like their usual armor/clothes (some minor color details might be different for some of them, but it's overall very close). I also added visuals for the genitalia.
You can change their clothes and armor however you want, and their visuals will reflect your choices (with some exceptions, see issues below).
You can respec them at Withers if you prefer a different class, but I advise against changing appearances with the magic mirror (try if you want, I can't guarantee anythingils ).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 484 endorsements and over 30k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Gives you 24 story characters to pick from, so you can finally hire that NPC you liked.
- Simple concept, well-executed: just swap in the hirelings you want.
⚠️ Cons
- Spoiler warning means you might see characters you haven't met yet—ruins some surprises.
- Only covers female characters, so if you wanted male hirelings, this isn't for you.
For players who want their hirelings to be familiar faces from the story instead of generic randoms. If you're a completionist who loves seeing characters you've recruited, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about hireling appearance or want male options.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a character replacement mod, make sure you place the files in the correct game directory (usually Data folder) to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the installation to keep things clean.
- Be aware of the spoiler warning—if you're early in the game, you might want to wait until you've met more characters.
