📋 About This Mod
Some random fun with DLCs & DLC characters. :p
Folders can be used separately, or all together.
Best installed before the start of each DLC (or area, for Origins & Awakening edits).
Version 2. 0 is up! Now using more efficient UTC/UTI overrides, instead of tons and tons of scripting. (thanks again, DAO Modding Discord!)
Also has a few brand new changes, marked below with .
Replaces Eleni Zinovia's statue model in the mage origin with a more rarely-used female Tevinter statue
Puts Finn from 'Witch Hunt' as a non-interactable NPC during 'Broken Circle'.
Increases the number and changes the scaling of the crystals found during Shale's recruitment quest
Replaces two unnamed Dace warriors in Aeducan Thaig during "A Paragon of Her Kind" with Jerrik and Brogan. (no Snug; sorry)
Makes the 'Orlesian Mask' from the Feastday Pranks DLC turn into an actual usable mask when you give it to Loghain.
Puts Silas from 'Leliana's Song' as a non-interactable NPC in the Amaranthine chantry.
Golems of Amgarrak:
Gives Jerrik & Brogan more dwarfy-looking armors from entopie's Loincloth Fashion .
Witch Hunt:
Puts a new NPC called 'Dagna' in the circle tower during "Witch Hunt", with a couple ambient lines.
Changes party and enemy equipment into some from from tmp7704's "Unique Light Armors" and Loincloth Fashion , and also puts rune slots on Ariane's armor & swords
Gives Finn and Ariane new, non-goofy portraits
Replaces Eleni Zinovia's statue model with a female Tevinter statue
Leliana's Song:
Changes to a lot of party & NPC equipment, requiring Loincloth Fashion, Amycus "Kirkwall Exports" and tmp7704's "Apostate Clothing".
--Kirkwall Exports does not include LODs for the guards' Raider Armor; I have made some and put them here: https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/5564
Vanilla changes to NPC guard armor, to make them more internally consistent.
Darkspawn Chronicles:
Puts most of the ill-fated characters into appropriate armors from the above and other popular mods (see included list for changes).
My personal morphs for various DLC companions.
Ariane, Finn, Silas, & Sigrun require Additional Hairs for DA by boodrl (ef_har_hair36, hm_har_mhair1, hm_har_mhair2, and df_har_hair21, respectively)
Brogan and Jerrik require Schwarzalbenheim by Amensign (dm_har_blda_0_tatanka07 and dm_brd_dam38)
Sketch and Leliana require Tucked Hair by tmp7704 (em_har_hda2b08a and hf_har_talb)
**I've also included mock-LODs (renamed vanilla LODs) for the hairs that need them, so the hairstyles

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (16,725 downloads, 148 endorsements) shows it's being used and appreciated
- Fills a niche for players who want DLC NPCs to have better gear without overhauling the whole game
- Lightweight and focused—doesn't touch base game content, so it's low-risk for compatibility
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods
- Only 148 endorsements—it's a small mod, so community feedback is limited
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter DLC NPC equipment or add cameos
For Skyrim players who want subtle improvements to DLC follower and NPC gear, and enjoy spotting small cameos. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay overhauls or if you use mods that heavily modify DLC content.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a plugin mod, make sure to load it after other mods that affect DLC NPCs to avoid conflicts
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order easily
- Check if your game version is compatible, as the mod hasn't been updated since March 2023
