📋 About This Mod
Unique, higher resolution skin and eyes for the vanilla companions. I accidentally deleted my Inquisition import save recently and felt like I needed a little somethin’ somethin’ to carry me through one last play through.
Couple quick notes:
-Everything inside the main file is modular.
- Cannot be used in conjunction with other companion morphs you may have installed, they will conflict, so make sure to clean out your override folder.
- Very limited testing was done on these, I only had an old ass testing save and whatever I could scrounge up on the nexus, so keep that in mind. (The deep roads and Leandra’s “alternate face” should work in theory, but I've no practical way to make sure until I start my play through.)
//Updates//
09/02 - Per request, I uploaded standalone textures so you can use them on your Hawke. (Merrill and Varric's textures aren't perfectly adapted for use on a human character, they look a little off. I may fix them up at some point, but for now I'm providing them as is.)
07/27/2015 - Been cleaning out my folders and had a few extra files to share. =D (Cass and Tallis)
To Install: Drag the .erf file(s) of your choice to your override directory. (Only use 1 file per character)
To Uninstall: Delete the files from your override directory.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 5,594 endorsements and 178,901 downloads—clearly a trusted texture overhaul.
- Lightweight and safe: just texture files, no scripts or plugins to mess with your load order.
- Works with the base game companions, so you get a consistent visual upgrade across the board.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter companion meshes.
- Only covers vanilla companions; if you use mod-added followers, they won't benefit.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're taking a leap of faith on the texture style.
For Skyrim players who want their vanilla companions to look sharper without overhauling their entire game. If you're a purist who likes the original companion designs but wants better resolution, this is for you. Skip if you use mods that replace companion meshes or if you prefer more dramatic visual changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod after any mods that change companion appearances to ensure it takes priority.
- Check if your game version is pre-Special Edition; this mod was made for the original Skyrim, so it may need conversion for SSE.
