Francesca is a follower mod for Skyrim, adding a custom companion who waits in the Temple of Mara in Riften. It supports multiple body types including CBBE, UUNP, UNP, and others, with HDT physics options. With 866 endorsements and over 24,000 downloads, it's a well-received follower mod from 2018.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community track record with 866 endorsements and over 24k downloads.
- Body type coverage is impressive – nine variants means it fits most setups.
- Easy to find her – Temple of Mara in Riften is a well-known location.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- No mention of custom voice or quest – she's likely a standard follower with generic dialogue.
- HDT bodies require additional dependencies like XPMSE and HDT physics, which could cause conflicts if not set up properly.
For Skyrim players who want a new follower with a customizable body and don't mind a simple, non-voiced companion. If you're into body mods and want a follower that matches your preferred body type, this is a solid pick. Skip if you need a follower with a deep backstory or custom voice lines.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the body mods installed that match the variant you choose – e.g., CBBE or UUNP – otherwise she might look broken.
- If you're using HDT, install XPMSE and HDT Physics Extensions first to avoid crashes.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the multiple file options and avoid overwriting your current body meshes.
