📋 About This Mod
I have an ongoing story featuring Raeza on my tumblr! Check it out!
Requirements:
Hearthfires: Only for adoptable version.
Relationship Dialog Overhaul - RDO: Only for follower version. Raeza uses a child voice, so this mod is required for her to be recruited as a follower. EFF also may allow you to force-recruit her via its MCM. If you have VVE/MFV, that'll also work, but it has been hidden and you should switch to RDO, which is supported. RIP VVE/MFV.
Though not strictly necessary, I highly recommend Immersive Children! This mod fixes children mods, including Raeza, and fixes issues with child characters using animations meant for adults. See the example screenshots. Raeza is in a couple of them!
Installation:
Install her with your favorite mod manager or just copy her files into your data directory.
Remove raeza.esp and raeza.bsa, or remove using your mod manager.
If you cannot find Raeza for whatever reason, this may help: AreYouThere - Actor (NPC) Explorer

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Well-loved by the community (1,520 endorsements) — clearly a fan favorite.
- Active development (last updated August 2025) means it's likely compatible with current game versions.
- Offers both follower and adoptable options, giving players flexibility in how they use the character.
⚠️ Cons
- No mention of required dependencies or compatibility patches, so you might need to troubleshoot on your own.
- As a child follower mod, it may not appeal to players who prefer adult companions or more complex follower frameworks.
For Skyrim players who enjoy adding new child NPCs to their game, especially those who want a drow companion. If you like follower mods with depth and backstory, this might feel too simple. Skip if you're looking for a fully voiced or quest-heavy follower.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Skyrim's Hearthfire DLC installed if you plan to use the adoptable version.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the mod easily.
- Check the mod's comments section for any reported issues or load order advice from other users.
